Intended use
The appliance must be used only for ironing
garments which are suitable for ironing according
to the care label. Never iron or dampen garments
while wearing them.
(A) Filling the water tank
Make sure the appliance is plugged off . You can
refi ll the water tank at any time during use.
This appliance has been designed to be used with
tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard
water, we recommend that you use either distilled
water or demineralized water to prolong the lifetime
of the appliance. Do not use condensation water
from a tumble dryer.
(B) Start into Operation
Before start ironing follow the garment care label
instructions carefully. Fabrics with this symbol
are not ironable.
For best ironing results, after ironing with steam,
perform the last strokes without steam.
Before First use
When you use the appliance for the fi rst time, press
the steam button (2) for about 30 seconds and
hold the iron horizontally to pull the steam through
to the soleplate. When steam is ready for the fi rst
time we recommend to iron for a few minutes over a
rag to avoid manufacturing residues can dirty your
garments.
Caution: The soleplate is hot! Do not wipe manually.
(C) Settings
iCare
The iCare mode is automatically chosen when the
appliance is switched on. The iCare mode indicator
(10) turns on. It is suggested for garments like wool,
polyester and cotton/ linen.
eco
It is suggested for most delicate garments like
synthetics, silk and blended fabrics. This mode
allows less power consumption.
To select eco mode, press the mode button (11).
The eco mode indicator (9) turns on.
turbo + (max. steam)
It is suggested for garments that need more
powerful steam, like thick cotton/linen and jeans.
To select the turbo mode press the mode button
(11) for 2 seconds. The eco mode indicator (9) and
the iCare mode indicator (10) turn on.
Vertical refresh (iCare mode only)
The iron can also be used for steaming hanging
clothes for a quick refreshment. However, this
function does not replace ironing. Ensure the iCare
mode is selected and hold the iron in a vertical
position, tilted slightly forwards. Press repeatedly
the steam button (2) while moving the iron from top
to the bottom. Then place the iron on the iron rest.
Steam is very hot: never iron or dampen garment
while wearing them.
Steam shot
Use the steam shot function to remove stubborn
creases.
Press the steam button (2) twice quickly. There will
be a continuous steam emission for a few seconds.
Press the steam button once again during steam
emission to stop the function.
Note: The pump is activated each time you press
the steam button. It produces some subtle rattling
noise which might change from setting to setting.
This is normal.
(D) Iron Auto-Off
This function is activated if after 10 minutes there
has been no steam emission.
•
When the appliance is in the auto-off mode the
temperature control LED (1) is fl ashing.
•
To turn the iron on again press the clean
button (13), the mode button (11) or the steam
button (2).

Before start ironing again wait until the
temperature control LED is permanently on.
(E) Descaling

independent of the type of water used. Descaling
can be performed at any time needed even when
not indicated by the system.
