Ironing with the steam burst
Press steam shot for ironing hard to remove creases slowly (dense spray) or quickly (fine spray)
For fine fabrics, we recommend moistening 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. 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.
