installed socket with earthing contact.
Power Requirements

household circuit breaker is recommended.
CAUTION: Overload!
• If you use extension leads, these should have a cable
cross-section of at least 1.5 mm².
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this device is too
powerful.

Function of the Handle (1)

ance when the mains plug has been pulled from the outlet.
• To carry the appliance, raise the

Temperature control on the iron (3)
The symbols on the control correspond to the following settings:
(synthetics, silk) low temperature
(rayon, wool)
medium temperature
(cotton, linen)
high temperature
• Turn woolen clothes inside out to avoid shiny spots on the
fabric due to steam ironing. In addition, lay a thin cotton
cloth onto the fabric.
• Select a low temperature setting for fabrics with additional
surface treatment and iron them inside out.
NOTE:
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Start ironing with
the lowest temperature setting.
Water Tank (10)
• The water tank has a recessed grip on the bottom so that it
can be removed. Press the button (11), to pull out the tank.
• When sliding the tank back into the base, it must audibly
click into place.
• The fill opening (13) enables you to fill with water even
when the water tank is fitted into the base.
• The “MAX” mark is located below the fill opening. Do not fill
the tank above this mark. The tank volume is 2.3 litres.
Water
Use only tap water or distilled water.
Do not fill battery water, water from the clothes dryer and water
containing additives (such as starch, perfume, softener or other
chemicals) into the water reservoir.
This could damage the iron due to residues forming in the
steam chamber. These residues may cause impurities to the
fabric when dropping out of the holes in the soleplate.
Operation
Before Initial Use
• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please
pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.
