• Sensitive articles of clothing should be ironed inside out.
• Ironing trousers is easier if they are hung up by the legs.
• For best results, the textile brush adapter should be gently applied to the fabric to
be ironed.
• Although the device can even be used for sensitive fabrics such as silk or wool, you
should read the care instructions of any textile before ironing it with the device.
Some fabrics such as leather, suede and velvet may not be ironed!
1. If you have not already done so, mount the adapter of your choice (see chapter “Start-up”,
section “Mounting / removing the adapters”) and add water to the water tank (see chapter
“Start-up”, section “Adding / removing water”).
2. Connect the plug to a properly installed socket. The red power light illuminates and the
device begins to heat up.
3. After approximately 90 seconds, the device is ready for use.
– With the textile brush adapter: Move the device over the fabric in a horizontal or vertical
direction and depress the steam trigger at regular intervals in order to evenly steam the
textile.
– With the crease adapter: Fold open the crease adapter by pulling the hook on the adapter
up (towards the handle). Place the textile between the heating plate and adapter and
release the hook. Hold the textile with one hand and slide the device evenly along the
crease. In this process, depress the steam trigger regularly. Depending on the desired fold
thickness, you can apply steam to one area of the fabric several times.
4. If the device is used for a prolonged period of time, it will have to reheat from time to time
in order to maintain a constant temperature. When this happens, the red power light will
turn back on. This is a normal electrical process and not an error. Make sure that you do not
depress the steam trigger during the heating process to avoid unnecessarily prolonging it and
to avoid scalding hazard, caused by emitting hot steam or hot water.
5. If you want to add water during use, pull the plug out of the socket and proceed as described
in chapter “Start-up”, section “Adding / removing water”.
6. After use, pull the plug out of the socket and drain any leftover water from the water tank
(see chapter “Start-up”, section “Adding / removing water”).
7. Let the device cool off completely, clean the device, when needed, and store it in a dry, clean
place that is not accessible to children and animals (see chapter “Cleaning and storage”).
