Instructions
Unpacking
• Remove any protective foils and stickers from the soleplate.
• Please unwind the lead completely.
Electrical connection
• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and the
line voltage match.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly
installed socket with earthing contact.
Connected Wattage
The station has a total maximum wattage of 2400 W. With this
connected load a separate supply line protected by a 16 A
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.
Temperature Control on the Iron (3)
The symbols on the control correspond to the following settings:
●
(Synthetics, silk)
low temperature
● ●
(Wool)
medium temperature
● ● ●
(Cotton, linen)
highest temperature
Water Tank (8)
• The water tank has a recessed grip on the bottom so that it
can be removed.
• The lock of the water tank is also the lime filter cartridge.
Take out the lime filter cartridge to fill with water.
• The tank volume is 1.7 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.
Ironing without steam
NOTE:
• Sort out the garments according to their ironing
temperatures.
• Always set the temperature control to “
MIN
”, before
connecting the appliance to a power point, or before
disconnecting it.
• Place the iron on the rest (6).
• Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety
socket.
• Set the temperature on the temperature control (3). If you
have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the lowest
temperature.
NOTE:
The control lamp (1) on the iron shows that it is heating
up. As soon as the control lamp goes off the operating
temperature has been reached. Now you can start
ironing.
• Always turn the temperature control to “
MIN
” after use and
remove the mains plug (the control lamp in the handle
goes off).
Steam Ironing
WARNING:
The iron expels a large quantity of hot steam. Danger of
burns.
CAUTION:
• When using the steam iron please ensure that the water
tank is always filled to the required level.
• The lime filter cartridge always has to be positioned in the
water tank, even if you use distilled water.
