Operation
3
To avoid overloads, do not plug any other
high-power appliance into the same
electrical outlet.
Before using the iron for the first time
1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly
greased therefore the iron may give off a
little smoke when plugged in for the first
time. This will cease after a short while.
2. Before using the iron for the first time,
remove the plastic protector from the base (if
applicable) clean the base with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the base very clean and smooth. Do
not run it over metal objects (such as metal
parts of the ironing board, buttons, zips,
etc.).
4. Pure wool fibres (100% wool) can be
ironed with the appliance set to the steam
position by preference, select a high steam
position and use a dry ironing cloth.
Selecting the temperature
1. After plugging in the iron, set the required
ironing temperature by turning the
temperature setting dial
C
to the
appropriate position (see the temperature
and steam settings table below).
2. The temperature of your appliance can be
increased by turning the temperature
setting dial
C
clockwise. For steam ironing
the temperature setting dial
C
should be
in the range between ••• and MAX.
When setting the temperature of the
appliance, refer to the following table.
Notes
x
The “CLICK” sound you hear during
ironing, is because of the anti-drip feature
of your appliance. This is a normal sound.
x
In order to generate steam, the soleplate
E
of your iron has to rise to a certain level of
temperature. By means of the “anti-drip”
feature of your iron, water dripping from
the soleplate
E
of the iron is prevented
until the soleplate attains the temperature
required.
x
Your product is intended for use with tap
water. If your tap water is excessively limy,
we recommend using a mixture of tap
water with purified water. Prior to ironing
for the first time, fill twice and vaporize.
Use the steam burst
J
frequently. In this
way, both the steam performance will
improve and any dust particles which may
have accumulated through the steam
channels will be flushed.
x
If water runs out during ironing, water may
be topped up without waiting for the
appliance to cool down. Always unplug the
appliance before topping up.
x
When the spray fails to operate properly,
close the spray hole with your finger and
press on the spray button several times in
order to eliminate any possible blocking,
Dry ironing
1. Set the steam setting knob
H
to the “ ”
position.
2. Set the required ironing temperature. Do
not press the steam burst button during dry
ironing.
3. After ironing let the appliance cool down in
a location that is safely out of reach of
children.
Filling the water tank
1. Always unplug the appliance. Set the
steam setting knob to “ ” position.
2. Open sealing cap of filling inlet
G
on the
iron. Use a measuring cup for filling the
water tank. Do not fill the water tank beyond
the
MAX
mark.
3. Close the water refill lid
G
.
Note:
Even when ironing garments without
steam, water must be available in the
appliance in order to use the water spray
