  2    Filling the water tank

Set the steam regulator (A) to the “0” position (no steam) by 
lining it up with the pointer (B) on the iron and unplug the iron 
from the mains!

1. Place the iron at an angle of 45° with the point facing upwards. 
2. Fill the water tank (E) via the water tank inlet (C) but never above the 

“max” mark (F) using the beaker * (N).

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.

  3    Setting the temperature

The temperature control (I) adjusts the temperature of the 
soleplate (G).

1. Check the temperature instructions shown on the care label of the 

garment  you  are  ironing  and  set  the  temperature  control  (I)  to  the 
corresponding  position  by  lining  it  up  with  the  temperature  control 
pointer (H) 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 

those that have to be ironed at the lowest temperature.

5. The pilot light on the top of the handle (K) will stay lit while the iron 

is heating up and go out once the selected temperature has been 
reached. Wait for a few seconds after the light 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 pilot light is flashing, the auto-shut 

off has activated. Gently move the iron from side to side to restart it.

  4    Ironing with steam

The steam regulator (A) is used to adjust the amount of steam 
produced when ironing.

1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (E).
2. Adjust the temperature control (I) and then set the steam regulator (A) 

according to the table below by lining it up with the steam regulator 
pointer (B). Steam will automatically be produced.

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

(A) 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 (A) should be set to the “0” position 
to avoid water dripping from the soleplate (G).

  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. Make sure that there is water in the tank (E).
2. Set the temperature control (I) to the “•••” or “max” position and the 

steam regulator (A) to the “2” position.

3. Press the shot of steam button (L) 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 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 (E).
2. Set the temperature control (I) to the “•••” or “max” position and the 

steam regulator (A) 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  (L)  on  the  handle  at  intervals  of  5 

seconds, however, after 4 jets of steam, wait for 10 seconds to allow 
for continued steam production.

  7    Ironing without steam

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

1. Set the steam regulator (A) 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 (E).
3. When ironing, press the spray button (M) and water will spray out of 

the spray outlet (D) onto the garment.

  9    After finishing each ironing session

1. Unplug the iron from the mains socket.
2. Set the steam regulator (A) to the “0” position.
3. Hold the iron upside down over a sink and shake it gently until all the 

water has come out from the water tank inlet (C).

4. Set the iron aside in a vertical position to cool down.
5. Coil  the  power  cable  (J)  loosely  around  the  heel  of  the  iron  before 

storing.

6. Store the iron in an upright position.

 10   Multiple de-scaling system

This range of irons is equipped with the following descaling 
features “AntiCalc”.

A. self-clean

Each time you use the steam regulator (A), 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:
1. Fill the water tank (E) with water.
2. Set the temperature control (I) to the “•••” or “max” position and plug 

in the iron.

3. After the necessary warm-up period, unplug the iron. 
4. Hold the iron over a sink (the correct way up) and remove the steam 

regulator (A) by turning it to the “calc” position while pressing it down, 
then carefully taking out the spring wrapped around the needle. 

5. Using one fully filled beaker * (approximately 150 ml) slowly pour water 

into the steam regulator hole (see picture below).

6. Gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out of the 

soleplate (G), carrying scale or deposits that might be there. When the 
iron stops dripping, reassemble the steam regulator by reinserting it, 
lining up the “calc” position with the pointer, pressing it in and turning 
it to the “0” position.

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

tip with vinegar and rinse it off with clean water.

C. anti-calc (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"

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)

  

Large filling inlet with lid 

  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 on the top of the handle (K) 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.

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.
