7. Operation
DANGER!
~
The sole plate
20
becomes very hot
during operation. During operation
touch only the handle
6
and the control
elements of the steam iron.
~
Even during short interruptions, always
place the steam iron in the stand
7
and
never on its sole plate
20
. There is a
fire hazard!
NOTE:
You may notice an odour when us-
ing for the first time. This is a result of the
manufacturing process and is not a defect
with the device. Ensure adequate ventila-
tion.
The sole plate
20
cools down slightly during
ironing. In order to reach the set temperature
again, the device heats the sole plate
20
up
again, during which the temperature control
lamp
14
is lit. The temperature control
lamp
14
goes out again when the set tem-
perature is reached. This process repeats it-
self during ironing.
Ironing with cable:
simply continue iron-
ing during the heating phase.
If you wish to shorten the power cable some-
what, press it into the cable clamp
22
at the
desired point.
Cable-free ironing:
the steam iron stands
on the stand
7
.
Wait until the temperature control lamp
14
goes out. For purposes of heating up, regu-
larly place the steam iron on the stand
7
.
7.1 Filling the water tank
DANGER!
~
Pull the mains plug
9
out of the socket
before you fill up the water tank
15
.
• Use clean tap water without any addi-
tives (e.g. vinegar, limescale remover,
starch, perfume, softener).
• The integrated anti-limescale protection
reduces limescale deposits for average
water hardness, and thus extends the
service life of the device. If your tap wa-
ter is hard, use distilled water. Where
the water is moderately hard, mix dis-
tilled water and tap water at a ratio of
1:1.
1. Disconnect the mains plug
9

least up to one quarter. Hold the steam
iron upright to check.
6. Close the lid
2
(of the water tank).
