Ironing with Steam Spray
The steam spray is especially suited to smoothing
places in the laundry that are difficult to access.
• Raise the steam iron a little way.
• Press the steam spray button to release the steam
spray

Setting the Steam Iron
Temporarily Aside
Fire Hazard!
Never leave the steam iron unattended when it is
hot or switched on.
• Set the temperature control
a
to the position
"MIN“.
• Only put the steam iron down on its standing
foot
e
, fig. 2.
Putting the Steam Iron Away
After Use
• Remove the power plug from the power socket.
• Empty the water reservoir and clean the gliding
sole
r
.
• Place the cool steam iron horizontally on a soft,
clean base.
Drip-Stop Function
With conventional steam irons it can happen that
water drips from the iron sole
r
at too low ironing
temperatures. This iron however possesses a new
equipment characteristic, the Drip-Stop function:
At low temperatures the iron automatically switches
off the supply of water for generating steam (for
steam blast and steam ironing). When this happens,
a “CLICK” is to be heard.
This prevents water dripping from the soleplate.
You must then re-set a suitable temperature with the
temperature controller
a
. As soon as this is reached,
steam production is continued.
Additionally, if you set the steam iron down or just
let it cool off, the drip-stop function prevents water
leakage from the soleplate
r
.
Cleaning
Self-cleaning function
• Fill the water container up to the marking MAX.
• Insert the plug into the power socket.
• Set the temperature regulator
a
to the position
MAX.
• Let the iron warm up till the control light
w
cuts
off and lights up again.
• Hold the iron horizontally over a trap vessel.
• Set the steam regulator
u
to Self-Clean position
and hold it in this position. Now steam and boiling
water will start emerging from the steam escape
holes at the gilding sole
r
. Any dirt, if present,
will get washed out.
• Release the steam regulator
u
as soon as the
water in the water container is used up.
• To ensure that no water remains in the steam
chamber, dry the gilding sole
r
thoroughly. For
this purpose, wipe the gilding sole
r
a few
times on a towel or an old cloth.
• Allow the iron to cool down before storing it
away.
Note:
The effect of the self-cleaning function can diminish
after extended usage of the iron. We therefore re-
commend the addition of decalcification agent into
the water tank.
