Automatic descaling function
(ANTICALC)
There is a descaling cartridge in the water tank that
helps reduce the build-up of limescale.
This descaling cartridge is a permanent fixture in
the water tank and cannot be replaced.
Drip-Stop function
With conventional steam irons, water can drip from
the sole of the iron
at low temperatures.
This iron, however, possesses a new feature: the
DRIP-STOP function (
). At low tem-
peratures the iron automatically switches off the
steam-blast function.
Then set a suitable temperature with the tempera-
ture control
. As soon as this is reached, steam
production is resumed.
Automatic switch-off
This steam iron is fitted with an automatic switch-off
system. This stops the iron from heating up.
If the iron is resting on its sole
and is not moved
for about 30 seconds, there will be a warning beep
and the control lamp for the automatic switch-off
flashes. The iron will stop heating up. To deactivate
the automatic switch-off, lift up the iron and move
it gently from side to side. The control lamp for the
automatic switch-off
goes out and the iron will
heat up again.
If the iron is resting on its base and is not moved
for about 8 seconds, there will be a warning beep
and the control lamp for the automatic switch-off
flashes. The iron will stop heating up. To deactivate
the automatic switch-off, lift up the iron and move
it gently from side to side. The control lamp for the
automatic switch-off
goes out and the iron will
heat up again.
NOTE
The automatic switch-off is not intended as a
substitute for removing the plug from the mains
power! This is merely intended to reduce the fire
hazard if you forget to switch of the iron!
