A SPECIAL NOTE ON WATER:
Water containing sediments and alkalis will cause the steam holes and internal workings of the
iron to fur. The specially designed steam chamber and the anti-scaling valve, which is remo -
vable for cleaning, gives your steam iron protection against furring. You can use tap water in
your iron, unless it is particularly hard and your iron is not fitted with an anti-calc filter, in which
case the use of distilled or demineralised water is advised.
ANTI-CALC FILTER
The built-in anti-calc filter is designed to reduce the build-up of lime scale which occurs during
steam ironing, this will prolong the working life of your iron. However, please note that the anti-
calc filter will not completely stop the natural process of lime scale build-up.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With conventional steam irons, water may leak from the soleplate if a too low temperature has
been selected. This will then cause stains. However, your iron is fitted with an anti-drip system
which is designed to prevent water escaping from the soleplate when the iron is too cold. During
use the anti-drip system may emit a loud „click“, particularly dutiny heat-up or whilst cooling
down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.
DRY-IRONING
Turn the steam selector to position
, this shuts off the steam flow, should there be any wate -
rin the tank. Select the temperature setting most suitable for the fabric to be ironed. Once the
temperature has been reached, ironing may commence. Ensure that there is sufficient water in
the water tank if you wish to use the spray facility occasionally while dry-ironing. If dry-ironing for
longer than 20 minutes, the water tank should be emptied to prevent over heating of any water
present.
STEAM-IRONING
As per the indications on the temperature dial and the table A (see section „Setting the tempera -
ture“) that steam-ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures.
- Plug into the mains supply and switch on.
- Set the temperature dial at the required positron within the steam area ( or ) and wait until
the heating indicator light has gone out.
- Set the steam selector to the requiredsetting. You can then begin steam ironing.
SURGE OF STEAM
The Surge of Steam provides an extra burst of steam which is ideal for removal of stubborn
creases and wrinkles during STEAM or DRY ironing.
- Turn the temperature setting to the hottest setting within the steam
area and wait until the heating indicator light goes out.
- Lift the iron slightly above the surface of the fabric, press the Surge of
Steam button down firmly and then release it during ironing (Fig.2).
An intense „burst“ of steam penetrates deep into the fabric. For opti -
mum steam quality, leave an interval of at least four seconds between
pressing the Surge of Steam button.
NOTE: The Surge of Steam can be used when the Steam Selector is in
maximum setting. For a stronger surge of steam set the Steam Selector
on the positron
.
