Continuous steaming
: Pull the latch
for the steam switch toward the rear un-
til it locks in. Steam will escape continu-
ously. To unlock, push the lock forward.
Direct the first burst of steam at the start
of the ironing process or after ironing
breaks at a separate piece of cloth until
the steam is emitted evenly.
You can hold the iron in an upright posi-
tion to apply steam to curtains, dresses,
etc.
Note:
Even if you iron without steam, there
must be water in the boiler.
Adjust the temperature of the iron ac-
cording to the garment you want to iron.
Note:
Please observe the ironing and
washing instructions in your garment
.
As soon as the indicator lamp of the
heater of the iron switches off, you can
start ironing.
Danger
Always disconnect the mains plug and al-
low the steam cleaner to cool down before
performing any maintenance work.
Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest
after 10 boiler fillings.
Fill the boiler with water and shake it
strongly. This dissolves lime scaling re-
siding on the boiler bottom.
Completely empty the steam boiler to
remove existing water (see fig. ).
Note:
If you always use usual commercial
distilled water it is not necessary to descale
the boiler.
As limescale builds up on the boiler walls,
we recommend to descale the boiler in the
following intervals (RF=reservoir fillings):
Note:
Please contact your Conservancy
Board or the local water supply company to
inquire about the hardness of your water.
Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.
Allow device to cool down.
Remove the safety cap from the device.
Completely empty the steam boiler to
remove existing water (see fig. ).
