OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before putting into operation
Remove the protective foil from the soleplate first! The iron has to be used and set on a stable surface.
When ironing for the first time, heat the iron to the highest degree without using water. During this process,
smoke and bad smell may come from the iron, though will vanish shortly. The water reservoir can be filled
afterwards. After filling and heating the iron, leave it to produce steam for at least 1 minute while occasionally
pressing the steam button. This removes any residue from production. We recommend trying the iron on
some common fabric, e.g. a dish towel, prior to using it on your laundry for the first time.
Filling the water tank
Be sure the iron is unplugged from the electrical outlet before filling with water!
Tilt the iron and fill with water until the line marked max. is reached.
Use water from the water tap only. Distilled or demineralized water reduces the efficiency of the descaling
system by changing physical and chemical properties. Use the container enclosed with the product for filling
it with water. The iron may not be filled with water directly from the tap!
Setting the temperature
Before ironing, sort the garments according to the international textile care and labeling codes found on
tags. If these are missing, separate the garments based on the type of fabric.
