Tip:We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed  
at a low temperature as the iron takes longer to cool  
down than to heat up. For mixed fabrics set the tempe-  
rature for the most delicate fabrics.

Ironing and Steam functions  
E1 Dry ironing  
Heat the appliance at the maximum setting without water  
(see section D). A little smoke and a slight smell may be  
emitted, but this is only temporary.  
E
To iron without continuous steam, turn the steam control  
The water tank can then be filled directly with tap water  
using a jug (see section C).  
(
) to  
and set the temperature to suit the type of  
material (care points , ••, •••).  
Each time you begin ironing, allow the iron to emit  
steam for at least 1 minute. During this time press the  
powersteam button ( ) from time to time to release  
several bursts of steam. Any particles released through  
the soleplate during first use are harmless and are due to  
the newness of your iron.  
E2 Steam ironing  
You can steam iron from temperature setting  
up. The  
••  
steam quantity can be set to between  
(minimum  
steam quantity) and  
(maximum steam). We recom-  
mend setting to maximum steam quantity only when the  
iron is set at temperature setting •••.  
E3 Pro Vertical (vertical steam ironing to be used at maxi-  
mum steam setting)  
Filling the water tank

Before filling the water tank, unplug from the mains and  
set the steam control to position  
Tilt the iron. The filler inlet can easily be opened by pres-  
sing the push button. The inlet will open with a “click“  
Pour in the water up to the Max. ( ) mark. Close the  
filler inlet by pressing the push-button again, before  
returning the iron to the horizontal.  
Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, han-  
ging curtains etc..  
.
Important: Never steam or iron clothing that is being  
worn!  
• Hang up the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric  
slightly taut with one hand.  
• Set the thermostat control to maximum steam.  
• Hold the iron a few centimetres away from the garment  
to avoid burning delicate fabrics.  
• Press the power steam button to generate a continuous  
flow of steam, moving the iron from top to bottom.  
If the steam flow weakens, it can be maintained by pres-  
sing the button again approx. every 3 seconds. We  
recommend briefly setting the iron down after 1 minute.  
Before standing the iron on its heel, wait for the steam  
flow to finish.  
What water may be used?  
Your iron has been designed to operate using tap water.  
However, if your water is very hard, you can mix it 50 %  
tap water with 50 % distilled or demineralised water.  
Do not add anything to the contents of the water tank  
and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented or  
softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air  
conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water. These  
contain organic waste or mineral elements that become  
concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown  
staining or premature wear to your iron.  
Important: Never direct the steam jet at persons or ani-  
mals  
Tip: Spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be  
ironed.

To operate:

• Fill the tank with tap water up to the maximum mark  
and heat the iron to max. temperature.  
• Unplug from the mains.  
Using the temperature control ( ), set the iron tempera-  
ture to suit the type of material. We recommend using  
the above table as a guide. The thermostat light indicates  
that the soleplate is heating up. When the light ( ) goes  
out, the required temperature has been reached.  
• Hold iron over a sink horizontally, push the steam con-  
trol ( ) past the  
position and into the "Self Clean"  
position and hold it there: steam will now begin to build  
up. After a few seconds water and steam will emerge  
from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of

Problems?  
I
• Insert mains plug and allow the iron to heat up again.  
• Wait until the remaining water has evaporated.  
• Unplug from the mains and allow iron to fully cool down.  
• When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.  
We recommend using the self clean function approx.  
every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, the iron should  
be cleaned weekly.

When the warning light

light goes off, the set tem-  
perature has been reached.  
F2 Anti-scale system (depending on model)  
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale  
deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life  
of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of  
the water tank and does not need to be replaced.

Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining  
of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam fun-  
ction.  
There is insufficient  
water in the tank.  
Fill the tank (C).  
F3 Anti-Drip system (depending on model)  
The Anti-Drip func-  
tion (F3) is active.  
Wait for the soleplate to  
reach the correct tempera-  
ture.  
If the temperature is set too low, the iron cannot produce  
steam because of the anti-drip technologoy which pre-  
vents droplets of water leaking from the soleplate.
