the pilot light (9) remains off until the sole (1) has cooled to the new temperature.
When this is reached it will light up again.
7. After finishing ironing turn the temperature dial to the MIN position and
disconnect from the mains. Let the iron cool down before cleaning the exterior
and putting it away. You can use the spray function while ironing without steam,
on condition that there is water in the reservoir (cf. the “Spray” and “Filling the
Reservoir with Water” sections).
Filling the reservoir with water
Place the iron on a flat surface but do not connect it.
1. Turn the steam setting switch (8) to the ironing
without steam position (Fig. C).
2. Press the reservoir release button (10) so you
can remove it.
3. Open the lid (5) that covers the filler aperture.
4. Pour the water slowly into the opening (Fig. G)
using the measuring beaker. Never pour cleaning
agents or solvents into the water reservoir.
5. Make sure that the water does not rise above the
maximum marking and close the filling aperture.
Note:
If the water in your area is very hard, it is advisable to use distilled water
or treat the tap water with the kalkex12 Rapid Water Softener, available from the
after sales service. This ensures fully decalcified water rapidly. It also simply and
effectively prevents harmful deposits forming in your iron. Never use battery water
or water containing additives like starch, perfume, rinsing agents etc.
Steam ironing
Before ironing with steam always check that the fabric is suitable. The iron functions
with plain tap water. But if the water supply has a high calcium content (hard water)
we recommend using distilled water without any additives.
1. Place the unconnected iron on a steady, heat resistant surface.
2. Fill the water reservoir with water (cf. “Filling the reservoir with water”).
3. Set the temperature dial (4) to the MIN position.
4. Stand the iron up vertically on its rest base.
5. Plug the iron in and turn the temperature dial to a position in the steam range.
The pilot light (9) lights up. As soon as this light goes out the iron is at the
set temperature. This pilot light switches on and off at regular intervals while
you are ironing, indicating the thermostat cycles. When you switch to a lower
temperature the pilot light (9) remains off until the sole has reached the new
temperature. When this is reached it will light up again.
