For fine fabrics, we recommend moistening (4) the fabric or to inserting a damp cloth between the fabric and
iron before using the spray function. Prevent stains from appearing by not using the spray function on silk
or synthetic material.
Vertical steam burst
Hold the iron in an upright position and hold the spray button down to iron and straighten creased drapes,
curtains, clothes etc. Wait a few seconds before pressing again (pic. 5). The spray function is only available at
high temperatures. Stop using the spray function as soon as the soleplate temperature indicator lights up.
Continue ironing only after the indicator light goes out.
Notice: Do not direct the steam shot at persons or animals.
Automatic steam emission function
Turn the steam control to the ON position to configure automatic steam output corresponding to the
soleplate temperature.
Sprinkling
Press the sprinkling button to dampen hard to remove creases.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
ANTI-CALC system
A special filter made of synthetic resin inside the reservoir softens water and reduces the risk of scale. The
resin filter is an integral part of the water reservoir and does not need replacing.
ANTI-DRIP system
This function prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low. This system
enables you to perfectly iron even the finest of fabrics.
The iron can cool down to a temperature at which the steam process is not carried out, however, drops of
boiling water can cause stains. The anti-drip system is automatically activated in cases like this, preventing
the vaporization process so you can iron even the finest of fabrics without the risk of staining or damaging
them.
Self cleaning
The auto-clean function removes impurities from the steam chamber and limestone from the soleplate. We
recommend that you use this function for every 10-15 hours of ironing.
1. Fill the reservoir with water until the line marked max. is reached and set the steam control to maximum.
Set the temperature control to maximum temperature and wait until the indicator light goes out.
2. Pull out the plug from the electrical outlet and tilt the iron horizontally over a sink.
3. Hold the iron horizontally above the sink and hold the steam control in the “selfclean” position until the
boiling water is released and all impurities are drained.
4. Use a moist dish towel to clean the soleplate after the iron has cooled.
