USING THE STEAM STATION
FILLING THE WATER TANK
■
Before filling the water tank
A3
, check that the steam station is disconnected from
the power socket.
■
The steam station is intended for use with tap water. Limescale deposits may quickly
form, if you live in an area with hard or very hard water. Therefore, to extended the
lifetime of the iron, we recommend using a mixture of 50% tap water and 50%
distilled water.
Attention:
Never add water softeners, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, perfumes
or other additives to the water.
■
Position the steam station on a stable, even surface. Hold the steam station
A1
with
one hand and press the spring latch
B4
on the underside of the water tank
A3
with
the other, and then slide out the water tank
A3
. Slide out the filling opening lock
B2
and fill up the water tank
A3
with water. When doing this, ensure that you do not fill
past the level marked as
MAX
.
■
The water tank
A3
can also be filled up without sliding it out of the steam station
A1
.
In such a case, tilt open the filling opening lock
B2
and fill the water tank
A3
with
water up to the
MAX
mark using a suitable container.
Note:
The non-stop system enables water to be added to the water tank
A3
even while the steam station is in operation without having to turn it
off.
■
Insert the water tank
A3
back into the steam station
A1
. Correct insertion of the
water tank
A3
is accompanied by an audible click from the spring latch
B4
.
TURNING ON
■
Connect the power cord of the steam station to a power socket. Indicator
C4
will
be lit and indicator
C6
will start flashing, which indicates that the steam station is
heating up. Once the indicator
C6
is lit permanently, the steam station is ready for
use.
■
Using the temperature dial
D2
on the iron, set the desired temperature. Temperature
indicator
D5
will be lit indicating that the iron is heating up. Once the iron’s internal
thermostat reaches the correct temperature, indicator
D5
will turn off.
PUTTING THE IRON ASIDE WHILE IRONING
You may put the iron aside while ironing on the rest surface
D6
on the underside of the
iron or on to rest surface
A5
on the steam station
A1
.
IRONING WITHOUT STEAMING
■
This function enables the iron to be used with or without water in the tank
A3
.
■
Set the temperature dial
D2
on the iron
A10
to MIN and wait until indicator
D5
turns
off.
IRONING WITH STEAM
■
The steam station is equipped with two steam release intensity levels:
ECO
: This mode is intended for sufficient steam output for standard ironing with
low power use; it uses less steam and saves power without affecting the
ironing result. Selection of the ECO mode is indicated by a green illumination
of indicator
C5
.
MAX
: This mode is intended for maximum steam output for demanding or vertical
ironing. Selection of the MAX mode is indicated by a blue illumination of
indicator
C6
.
Attention:
In order to iron with steam, the water tank
A3
must be filled with water.
■
If you wish to iron with steam, set the temperature dial
D2
on the iron
A10
to an
appropriate temperature and wait until indicator
D5
turns off.
Note:
Indicator
D5
may turn on and off while ironing, indicating that
temperature is automatically being maintained without interruption
to the ironing process.
■
Press button
C2
on the control panel
A9
to select steam mode ECO or MAX and wait
until the indicator of the selected mode remains permanently lit.
Note:
When steam ironing after selecting the steam mode on a cold
steam station, it is necessary to hold down button
D4
on the iron
for approximately 2 minutes in order for steam to evenly spread
throughout the entire steam circuit system.
■
Holding down button
D4
on the iron, will start releasing steam while ironing.
■
If you wish to stop releasing steam, release button
D4
.
■
We recommend to select the ECO mode for all standard ironing tasks. Only when
ironing linen fabrics, strong silk or similar fabrics is it recommended to select the
MAX
mode.
IRONING WITH VERTICAL STEAM
■
The steam station can also be used when ironing hanging textiles (e.g. curtains,
garments hanging on coat hangers, etc.).
■
Set the temperature dial
D2
on the iron
A10
to MAX and wait until indicator
D5
turns off. Position the iron into a vertical position. Use one hand to gently tension
the fabric and vertically move the iron vertically from bottom up and press button
D4
to release steam.
Tip:
When ironing cotton or linen textiles, gently place the iron with the
soleplate
D3
on to the fabric. When ironing finer or delicate textiles,
keep the iron approximately 2 cm off the fabric.
Do not use the steam function for silk and synthetics so as not to
damage the fabric.
Attention:
Never point the steam at people!
