Electrical connection
• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and the
line voltage match.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly
installed 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket with earthing contact.
Connected Wattage
The station has a total maximum wattage of 2500 W. With this
connected load a separate supply line protected by a 16 A
household circuit breaker is recommended.
CAUTION: OVERLOAD!
• If you use extension leads, these should have a cable
cross-section of at least 1.5 mm
2
.
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this device is too
powerful.
Temperature Control on the Iron (5)
The symbols on the control correspond to the following settings:
•
Synthetics, silk
low temperature
• •
Wool
medium temperature
• • •
Cotton, linen
high temperature
MAX
maximum
temperature
Water Tank (3)
• Place the iron in an upright position.
• Fill the water reservoir at the refi ll opening (8). Use the fi lling
container to help you. Close the lid of the tank.
• The tank volume is 320 ml.
Water
Please use only distilled water. Do not fi ll battery water, water
from the clothes dryer and water containing additives (such as
starch, perfume, softener or other chemicals) into the water
reservoir. This could damage the iron due to residues forming in
the steam chamber. These residues may cause impurities to the
fabric when dropping out of the holes in the soleplate.
Operation
Before Initial Use
• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please
pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.
Ironing without steam
NOTE:
• Sort out the garments according to their ironing tempera-
tures.
• Always set the temperature control to „
MIN
“ before
connecting the appliance to a power point, or before
disconnecting it.
• Turn the steam regulator (9) to „
0
“.
• Place the iron on its stand.
• Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety
socket, 230 V/50 Hz.
• Set the temperature on the temperature control (5). If you
have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the lowest
temperature.
NOTE:
The control lamp (2) on the iron shows that it is heating
up. As soon as the control lamp goes off the operating
temperature has been reached. Now you can start ironing.
• Always turn the temperature control to „
MN
“
after use and
remove the mains plug (The control lamp goes off).
Steam Ironing
WARNING:
The steam is hot. Danger of scalding!
NOTE:
For this a high temperature is needed. Turn the temperature
control (5) at least to the „
“ symbol.
• The steam quantity is regulated continuously with the steam
volume regulator (9).
• Extra steam can be added with the steam jet function „ “.
• Press the steam jet button (11) intermittently.
NOTE:
• When ironing at low temperatures, make sure that you
reduce the quantity of steam or iron without steam.
• If the temperature is too low water may leak from the so-
leplate. The appliance features an „anti-leakage function“
which deactivates the steam mode if the temperature
chosen is insuffi cient for steam operation.
Spray Function (
„ “
)
In order to moisten a section of a garment to be ironed, press
the spray button (10) intermittently.
Vertical Steam
This can be used to produce a jet of steam in a vertical direction.
Hang your laundry on a clothes hanger and move the iron to
approximately 2-3 cm away.
Refi lling the water tank
• Always disconnect the mains plug before refi lling water.
• Set the steam control to „
0
“ (no steam).
• Place the iron in an upright position.
• Open the lid of the refi ll inlet and carefully pour in the water.
• Do not exceed the maximum line as marked on the water
reservoir.
• Close the lid of the tank.
