Make• sure• that• there• is• enough• water• in• the•
water•tank•(10).
BURST OF STEAM
The•burst•of•steam•function•is•useful•for•ironing•
folds•and•can•only•be•used•at•high•ironing•tem-
peratures• (when• the• temperature• control• knob•
(7)•is•set•to•«
MAX »•position).
When• the• burst• of• steam• button• (4)• is• pressed,•
steam•will•go•out•of•the•soleplate•(11)•openings•
intensively.
Notes: To avoid water leakage from the steam
openings, press the burst of steam button (4)
with 4-5 sec. intervals.
To avoid dripping, do not hold the burst of steam
button (4) longer than 5 seconds.
VERTICAL STEAM
The•vertical•steam•function•can•be•used•only•at•
high•ironing•temperatures•(when•the•temperature•
control•knob•(7)•is•set•to•the•«
MAX »•position).
Hold•the•iron•vertically•at•the•distance•of•10-30•
cm•from•the•clothes•and•press•the•burst•of•steam•
button•(4)•with•4–5•second•intervals,•steam•will•
be•released•from•the•soleplate•(11)•intensively.
Important information
Vertical•steam•is•not•recommended•for•synthetic•
fabrics.
• To• avoid• fabric• melting,• do• not• touch• it• with•
the•iron’s•soleplate•while•steaming.
•
Never•steam•clothes•on•a•person•as•the•steam•
temperature•is•very•high,•use•a•clothes•hanger•
or•a•stand.
•
After•you•finish•ironing,•switch•the•unit•off,•wait•
until•it•cools•down•completely,•then•open•the•
water•inlet•lid•(2),•turn•over•the•iron•and•drain•
the•remaining•water.
STEAM CHAMBER CLEANING
To•prolong•service•life•of•the•iron,•we•recommend•
cleaning•the•steam•chamber•regularly,•especially•
in•the•regions•with•hard•tap•water.
•
Set• the• continuous• steam• supply• knob• (3)•
to• the• position• «
0 »• (continuous• steam• sup-
ply•is•off).
•
Pour• the• water• up• to• the• maximal• mark• (13)•
and•then•close•the•lid•(2)•tight.
• Place•the•iron•on•its•base•(9).•
• Insert•the•power•plug•into•the•mains•socket.
•
Set•the•control•knob•(7)•to•the•maximum•sole-
plate• heating• temperature• «
MAX »,• the• pilot•
lamp•(6)•will•light•up.•
• When•the•iron•soleplate•(11)•reaches•the•set•
temperature,•the•pilot•lamp•(6)•will•go•out•and•
you•can•start•cleaning•the•steam•chamber.
• Unplug•the•unit.
• Hold•the•iron•above•the•sink•horizontally,•press•
and•hold•down•the•“Selfclean”•button•(12)••
•
Boiling•water•with•scale•will•be•released•from•
the•iron•soleplate•(11)•openings.
• Slightly•sway•the•iron•back•and•forth,•until•all•
the•water•leaves•the•water•tank•(10).
