Operation
Before first Use
Remove all packaging material from the iron. Do not leave packag-
ing material lying around. Plastic bags may become a deadly toy for
children.
Clean all parts of the iron before using the first time, as described
below under “Cleaning and Storing”.
According to factory-made functional tests, residual humidity can
remain in the water tank. Residual humidity in a new article is not a
fault.
Before operating the iron for the first time use the self cleaning
function. With this cleaning function you remove all residues out of
the heating system.
Self-Cleaning Function
1. Open the water inlet lid (2).
2. Use the included cup and fill the water tank
only up to the MAX
mark
(10). Do not overfill the tank. Only use tap water.
3. Plug in the iron and set the temperature control dial (8) to the
maximum temperature.
4. Set the iron on its heel and wait until the indicator lamp (6) turns
off, then the iron has reached the selected temperature.
5. Point the sole in a safe direction and push the self-cleaning
button (9) and the steam burst button (5) several times alternat-
ing to blow any debris out of the steam vents. A burnt smell in
the first moments of operation is not dangerous and will disap-
pear in a matter of moments.
6. Set the adjustable steam control lever (3) to maximum and iron
an old cotton cloth. After this all debris should be out of the
steam system.
