7. 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 (J).
2. Set the temperature control (H) 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 10
seconds to allow for continued steam production.
8. 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.
9. 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 (J).
3. When ironing, press the spray button (B) and water will spray
out of the spray outlet (F) onto the garment.
10. After finishing each ironing session
1. Unplug the iron from the mains socket.
2. Set the steam regulator (C) to the «0» position.
3. Hold the iron with the point facing down and shake it gently
until all the water has come out.
4. Set the iron aside in a vertical position to cool down.
5. Coil the power cable (L) loosely around the heel of the iron,
before storing.
6. Store the iron in an upright position.
11. 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 dial (H) 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 “calc” while pressing it. 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.
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.
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 (I).
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 (H) to the “•••” or “max”
position.
2. Set the steam regulator (C) to the «2» position.
3. Press the shot of steam button (A) on the handle repeatedly
at intervals of 5 seconds.
6. Extra steam.
To facilitate the ironing of very creased laundry or thick materials,
the volume of steam can be increased briefly. To do this, set
the temperature regulator to “max.”. Press and hold the steam
regulator (C) for a maximum of 2 seconds.
2. Filling the water tank
Set the steam regulator (C) to the «0» position and
unplug the iron from the mains!
1. Place the iron at an angle of 45º
2. Fill the tank but never above the “max” mark
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
Using Your Iron
1. Your iron
3. Setting the temperature
The temperature control (H) adjusts the temperature of
the soleplate (I).
1. Check the temperature instructions shown on the
care label of the garment you are ironing and set the
temperature control (H) to the corresponding position by
lining it up with the pointer (G) 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. Sort your garments based on their care labels, always
starting with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest
temperature.
4. The pilot lamp (K) 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.
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 (J).
2. Adjust the temperature setting and then set the steam
regulator according to the table below. Steam will
automatically be produced:
