Bear in mind that you never fill the iron with more than 300 ml
water, i.e., the amount stipulated on the
measuring cup. To ensure that the stipulated water volume is not exceeded, the iron must first be
emptied before it is refilled.
- Completely retighten the safety cap.
- Plug the power plug back into the socket.
- Steam will be generated within a short time.
PRACTICAL ADIVCE
You should iron pure woollen materials, silk and synthetics either on their reverse sides or vertically to prevent
shine marks on the materials. For other fabrics, particularly velvet, you can prevent shine marks by ironing in a
single direction (with a cloth), and applying slight pressure. Make sure you continue moving the iron over the
material being ironed.
Straight items: Lay the garment on the ironing board. Press the steam button as long as you see creases.
When there are no more creases, run the iron over it again until it has dried. If you fold the garment, then first
use super steam (press the steam button), and subsequently iron it until there is no trace of moisture.
Tucked sleeves (puffed sleeves): Place the iron in a vertical position. Hang the tucked sleeve at its seam over
the tip of the iron. Press the steam button until the sleeve is wrinkle- free.
Never hold your other hand in front of the appliance, as the steam emitted is very hot!
How to iron trousers: Position the trouser leg onto the ironing board. Iron in a crease. Lift the appliance when
you reach the seams and steam them. Vertically steam the upper part.
How to iron hung clothing: Hang the item of clothing on a clothes hanger, making sure that it hangs freely (no
wall or the like behind it). Use one hand to hold the part you are going to iron so that the garment cannot swing
back and forth. The soleplate must make complete contact with the material. Now press the steam button until
the garment is smooth.
AFTER IRONING
COMPLETELY EMPTY the water tank after EACH use!
To avoid limescale build up, empty the appliance after each use. Prior to emptying the appliance, turn it off and
pull the power plug out of the socket.
- Set the switch (7) to "
0."
- Pull the power plug out of the socket.
- Press the steam button (4) to discharge the steam pressure
Caution!
Let the iron cool off (approx. 2 hrs).
- Remove the safety cap (1) using the cap screw (3), turn the iron upside down to empty the water
remaining in the boiler (Fig. E). Proceed carefully, because the water is boiling hot. This simple
procedure will likewise assist in always maintaining a clean boiler interior.
- When you have finished ironing, never completely tighten the safety cap (1), but rather close it with 3-4
turns.
- Turn the steam regulator (2) counter-clockwise as far as it will go.
