If the garment has prints, sequins etc. special care is required as such materials
may melt. Consequently, the above instructions are not valid for such materials.
We recommend that fabrics that have a tendency of becoming shiny are ironed
on the reverse side. If ironed on the right side, do it carefully and always keep
the iron moving.
Filling with water
Position the iron upright and make sure that the appliance has been unplugged
before filling of water. Set the steam selector at “0” (no steam) and open the lid
of the inlet. Pour water slowly by means of the delivered beaker until the water
reaches the MAX marking on the water tank (never exceed the MAX marking).
Close the lid.
Distilled and demineralised water as well as softening agents must
not be poured
in the water tank, as such liquids may damage the metallic parts of the iron and
discolour the fabric.
Any damage to the iron or the garment, that indicates that water other than tap
water has been used, is not covered by the warranty. Possible use of other liquids
can be ascertained by our repair shop.
If you live in an area with very hard water (this is more than17 ph) you should
clean the steam chamber regularly in order to avoid lime deposits. Follow the
self-cleaning procedure described later in this instruction manual. The iron is
furthermore equipped with a built-in anti-lime filter (not changeable), which
has been designed to reduce the building up of limestone in the steam chamber
and thus prolong the lifetime of the iron. The anti-lime filter will, however, not
entirely prevent the natural building up of limestone in the steam chamber and it
is therefore important to follow the self-cleaning procedure at regular intervals.
Indicator low water level
If the water level in the water tank is too low, the lamp on the water tank/display
starts flashing. Make sure that there is always sufficient water in the water tank
before you start ironing.
Steam ironing
Stem ironing is only possible at high temperatures •• and ••• (as per the
indications:
WOOL, SILK or DENIM, LIN/COT) in the display. See instructions in
previous sections.
