OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before putting into operation
Remove the protective foil from the soleplate first! The iron must be used and stored on a stable surface.
When ironing for the first time, heat the iron to the highest degree without using water. During this process,
smoke and bad smell may come from the iron, though will vanish shortly. The water reservoir can be filled
afterwards. After filling and heating the iron, leave it to produce steam for at least 1 minute while occasionally
pressing the steam button. This removes any residue from production. We recommend trying the iron on some
common fabric, e.g. a dish towel, prior to using it on your laundry for the first time.
Filling the water tank
Be sure the iron is unplugged from the electrical outlet before filling with water!
Hold the iron in a tilted position, set the steam control to “min” and pour water to the max. mark into the
opened lid of the filling hole. You can use distilled water or normal water from the water tap in the iron. Do not
fill the iron with water directly from the tap, use the supplied funnel!
Temperature settings
Before ironing, sort the garments according to the international textile care and labelling codes found on tags.
If these are missing, separate the garments based on the type of fabric.

Fabrics which can not be ironed
We recommend ironing fabrics with uncommon surfaces (e.g. filters, embroidery, printings etc.) at the lowest
temperature.
As far as mixes are concerned (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetic material), set the temperature control according
to the fabric requiring the lower temperature.
If you are not sure of the fabric composition, determine the suitable temperature by performing a test on
the least noticeable part of clothing. Begin with the lowest temperature and slowly increase until the ideal
temperature is achieved.
Never iron spots with traces of perspiration etc.: heat from the iron fixates fabric stains which cannot be
removed.
Iron silk, wool and synthetic fabrics inside out to prevent shiny stains from appearing.
Iron velvet fabrics in one direction (in the direction of fibres) and do not press on the iron to prevent shiny
stains from appearing.
Many fabrics are easier to iron if not completely dry. For example, silk should always be ironed moist.
Use the temperature control to set the ironing temperature according to the type of fabric. A lit indicator
signals the heat-up process of the soleplate. The indicator light going out signals the required temperature has
been reached and the ironing process can begin.
Sometimes light comes on during ironing, indicating the heating to the desired temperature. If after completion
of ironing at a high temperature you decrease the set temperature using controller, do not continue ironing
until the temperature light comes on again.
Note: Since the cooling process takes longer than the heating process, ironing fabrics requiring lower
temperatures first is recommended. This way you eliminate the risk of burning the fabric.
