2 Filling the water tank

Set the steam regulator (C) to the «0» position and

unplug the iron from the mains!

Use only clean water from the tap and do not mix anything with

it. The addition of other liquids, such as perfume, will damage

the appliance.

Do not use condensation water from tumble dryers, air conditioners

or similar appliances. This appliance has been designed to use

normal tap water.

To prolong the optimum steam function it is possible to mix tap

water with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is

very hard, mix tap water with distilled water 1:2.

You can inquire about the water hardness with your local water

supplier.

To prevent spillage of water out of the appliance in vertical position,

never fill beyond the «max» water level mark (K)!

7 Ironing without steam

This function enables the iron to be used for dry ironing.

1. Set the steam regulator (C) to the «0» position.

2. Select an appropriate temperature for the type of material being

ironed.

8 Spray

This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles.

1. Do not use the spray function with silk as staining may occur.

2. Make sure that there is water in the tank (G).

3. When ironing, press the spray button (B) and water will spray

out of the spray outlet (E) onto the garment.

9 After finishing each ironing session

1. Unplug the iron from the mains socket.

2. Set the steam regulator (C) to the «0» position.

3. Open the water tank cover (M).

4. Hold the iron with the point facing up and shake it gently until

all the water has come out.

5. Set the iron aside in a vertical position to cool down.

6. Coil the power cable (N) loosely around the heel of the iron,

before storing.

7. Store the iron in an upright position.

10 Multiple de-scaling system

This range of irons is equipped with the following de-scaling

features “AntiCalc”.

A. self-clean

Each time you use the steam regulator (C), the “self-clean” system

cleans the mechanism of any scale deposits.

B. calc’n clean

The “calc‘n clean” function helps to remove scale particles out

of the steam chamber. Use this function approximately every 2

weeks, if the water in your area is very hard.

Fill the water tank, set the temperature control (J) to the “max”.

position and plug in the iron.

After the necessary warm-up period, unplug the iron and hold it

over a sink. Take out the steam regulator (C) by turning it to the

position while pressing it down. Gently shake the iron. Boiling

water and steam will come out, carrying scale or deposits that

might be there. When the iron stops dripping, reassemble the

steam regulator in reverse order and move it to the «0» position.

Heat up the iron again until the remaining water has evaporated.

If the steam regulator needle is soiled, remove any deposits from

the needle tip with vinegar and rinse off with clean water.

C. anti-calc cartridge (model dependent)

The anti-calc cartridge has been designed to reduce the build-

up of scale produced during steam ironing, helping to extend

the useful life of your iron. Nevertheless, the “anti-calc” cartridge

cannot remove all of the scale that is produced naturally over time.

11 Anti-drip system „Drip Stop“

All the irons in this range are equipped with an anti-drip system.

This will automatically stop the iron producing steam when the

selected temperature setting is too low to prevent water from

dripping out of the soleplate. You may hear a clicking sound when

this system is in operation.

Additional Features (Model Dependent)

Auto shut-off “Secure”

Some irons in this range are equipped with an auto-shut off

system.

The “secure” auto shut-off function switches off the iron

automatically when it is not being used, thus helping to prevent

accidents and saving energy. When the appliance is first plugged

in, this function will be inactive for the first 2 minutes to allow it to

reach the set temperature.

If during ironing, the iron is not moved for a certain length of time,

the iron will automatically switch off. The length of time will depend

on the position the iron has been left in:

Horizontally (flat) or on its side: 30 seconds

Vertically (upright): 8 minutes

The pilot light (O) on the top of the handle will flash when auto

shut-off has been activated. To switch the iron back on, move it

gently from side to side. The light will stop flashing.

Fabric-protection soleplate cover

The fabric-protection cover is used for steam-ironing delicate

garments at maximum temperature without damaging them.

Use of the protector also does away with the need for a cloth to

prevent shine on dark materials.

It is advisable to first iron a small section on the inside of the

garment to see if it is suitable.

To attach the fabric protector to the iron, place the tip of the iron

into the tip of the fabric protector and press the rear of the protector

upward until you hear a click. To release the fabric protector, pull

down on the clip at the rear and remove from the iron.

The protective cover can be purchased from After-sales.

Tips to help you save energy

Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise

the energy used, follow the advice below:

• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing

temperature.

• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing

temperature.

• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray

function instead.

• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce

the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics

rather than the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics before

ironing them, set the tumble drier to the ‘iron dry’ programme.

• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator

completely.

• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally

with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.

4 Ironing with steam

The steam regulator (C) is used to adjust the amount of

steam produced when ironing.

1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (G).

2. Adjust the temperature setting and then set the steam regulator,

by lining it up with the pointer (D), according to the table below.

Steam will automatically be produced:

Temperature

Setting Steam Regulator

Setting

“to “max ••• 2

•• 1

3. You can get extra steam by pressing and holding the steam

regulator (C) for a maximum of 2 seconds.

Note: At a temperature setting of “•”, the soleplate is not hot enough

to produce steam so the steam regulator should be set to the «0»

position to avoid water dripping from the soleplate (H).

5 Ironing with shot of steam

This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles or to press

in a sharp crease or pleat. It cannot be used on a synthetic

setting for delicate items.

1. Set the temperature control (J) to the “•••” or “max” position.

2. Set the steam regulator (C) to the «2» position.

3. Press the shot of steam (A) button on the handle repeatedly at

intervals of 5 seconds.

6 Vertical steaming with shot of steam

This can be used to remove creases from hanging clothes,

curtains etc. It cannot be used on a synthetic setting for

delicate items.

WARNING! Do not use vertical steam while the item is being

worn. Never spray or aim steam at people or animals!

1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (G).

2. Set the temperature control (J) to the «•••» or «max» position

and the steam regulator (C) to the «2» position.

3. Hold the iron in an upright position about 15 cm away from the

garment being steamed.

4. Press the shot of steam button (A) on the handle at intervals of

5 seconds, however, after 4 jets of steam, wait for 10seconds

to allow for continued steam production.

3 Setting the temperature

The temperature control (J) adjusts the temperature of the

soleplate (H).

1. Check the temperature instructions shown on the care label

of the garment you are ironing and set the temperature

control (J) to the corresponding position by lining it up with

the pointer (I) on the iron:

Fabric Temperature Setting

Synthetics •

Silk - Wool ••

Cotton - Linen •••





2. If you are unsure what type of material the garment is made from,

start ironing on the lowest temperature setting and increase

accordingly. If the garment is made from mixed fabrics, set the

temperature for the most delicate material.

3. For silk, woollen or synthetic materials iron the reverse side

of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray

function to prevent stains.

4. Sort your garments based on their care labels, always

starting with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest

temperature.

5. The pilot lamp (L) will stay lit while the iron is heating up and go

out once the selected temperature has been reached. Wait a

few seconds after the lamp goes out before you start ironing.

Once the iron is ready, you can continue to iron even if the pilot

lamp comes on again.

6. If your iron has auto shut-off and the lamp (O) on the top of the

handle is flashing, the auto shut-off has activated. Gently move

the iron side to side to restart it.
