B Before starting off
This iron is designed for tap water. If you have
extremely hard water, we recommend that you
use a mixture of 50 % tap water and 50 %
distilled water.
Never use distilled water exclusively.
Do not add any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use
condensation water from a tumble dryer.
•
Before filling with water, turn off the steam
regulator ( = steam off).
•
Fill the water tank.
•
Place the iron upright on its heel rest and connect
it to the mains. Select the temperature according
to the label in your garments or the ironing guide
on the heel rest of the iron. The pilot light (4) turns
off when the desired temperature is reached.
C Ironing
1 + 2 Variable steam
You can select the steam quantity using the steam
regulator (6) ( = no steam, 1 = minimum steam,
2 = maximum steam). The temperature selector
must be set between «
•••
» and «max».
3 Dry ironing
Set the steam regulator (6) on position (= steam
off).
4 Spray function
Press the spray button (5).
5 Steam shot function
Steam shot can be activated when dry ironing.
The temperature selector must be set between
«
•••
» and «max».
To obtain a good steam jet, wait a few seconds
between one shot of steam and the next.
The steam shot function can also be used in the
vertical position for steaming hanging clothes.
D Auto-off
(certain models only)
The orange «auto-off» light (8) will flash when the
automatic shut-off is activated. This happens when
the iron is left unused:
– horizontally on its sole plate for about 30 seconds
or
– vertically on its heel rest for about 8 minutes.
To begin ironing again, shake the iron slightly
forwards until the light (8) comes on steadily
E Self cleaning
Over time, the lime in the water causes scale to
build up inside the iron. To prevent the scale
reducing steam production, you should perform
the «self clean» procedure every two weeks.
1. Place the steam regulator on « » and fill the
water tank.
2. Plug the appliance into the mains and place the
temperature selector in the «max» position.
The pilot light is on.
3. The pilot light turns off (the iron is at tempera-
ture).
4. Unplug the appliance from the mains.
5. Hold the appliance over a sink, press the self
clean button (11) and, holding the button down,
shake the iron delicately forwards and backwards.
Residues of scale and other impurities mixed
with boiling water come out of the sole plate.
Release the Self Clean button when the water
tank is empty.
6. Plug the appliance into the mains socket and
leave in operation for at least two minutes to dry
the sole plate. Unplug the appliance from the
mains socket.
7. Move the sole plate over a cloth to remove any
residues.
8.
Never use steel wool, abrasive scouring
pads, powders or other chemicals to clean
the sole plate.
9. Leave the iron to cool down completely, then
store away.
After ironing
Unplug the iron and turn the steam regulator to
position « ».
To prolong the life of the iron,
empty the water tank.
Store the cool iron in a dry
place always standing on its heel rest.
Maintenance and cleaning
To prevent damaging the sole plate, do not iron over
metal buttons or zippers.
Clean the sole plate regularly with a damp cloth.
To remove mineral/starch residues, use a vinegar/
water mixture in the ratio of 1 : 2. Never use steel
wool, abrasive scouring pads, powders or other
chemicals to clean the sole plate.
Do not use commercial decalcifiers, they may
damage the iron.
