For ironing dry or nearly dry laundry
items, the steam setting can be used.
Ironing with and without steam
If the laundry items are already damp,
use the iron without steam. The steam
setting is intended for pressing dry or
nearly-dry laundry.
Filling the water reservoir
^
Before turning on the iron, and with
the roller in the up position, fill the
water reservoir to the lower edge of
the spout with
tap water
approx. 1 ½
pints (0.8 l).
Do NOT use "ironing water" available
in stores.
The funnel can be screwed into
place for easier filling.
,
Do not use distilled water. It will
cause pitting corrosion of the water
reservoir.
Only ever fill the water reservoir to
the lower edge of the spout.
^
To prevent water from spilling over
when you close the roller down, be
sure the cap is secure.
If the indicator light
a
"Water empty" is
red, it is time to re-fill the reservoir.
If the steam setting is on but the water
reservoir is empty, the display lights
Q
"Steam" and
a
"Water" will flash
alternately in intervals of a few minutes.
Caution - hot steam!
Slowly loosen the cap.
^
Allow the steam from the water
reservoir to dissipate before opening
the cap entirely, then add water as
needed.
Typically you will find some water left in
the reservoir. The amount depends on
the water hardness and how much lime
is deposited.
A full water reservoir will provide
approximately 40 minutes of steam
ironing time. It takes approx. 4 minutes
for the iron to begin producing steam.
As lime deposits form in the tank, the
heating time may increase.
^
Whenever you stop ironing, turn off
the steam switch.
