The plate temperature indicator occasionally lights up when ironing, indicating the temperature setting is
maintained. After fi nishing your ironing at a high temperature and reducing the temperature, do not continue
using the iron until the soleplate temperature indicator lights up again.
Note:
Since the cooling process takes longer than the heating process, ironing fabrics requiring lower
temperatures fi rst is recommended. This way you eliminate the risk of burning the fabric.
IRONING AND STEAMING
Spraying
Press the sprinkling button to dampen hard to remove creases. Make sure there is enough water in the tank.
Ironing without steam
To use as a dry iron, set the steam control to the steam out off position and set the temperature according to
the type of fabric.
Ironing with steam
Set the temperature control to ••• or MAX and the steam control to the steam out off position. As soon as the
heating indicator switches off , set the steam control to the desired value. Steam will begin to emit from the iron
plate, you may now begin to iron.
Ironing with the steam burst
Press the spray button to iron hard to remove creases with a strong steam spray.
For fi ne fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric or to inserting a damp cloth between the fabric and iron
before using the spray function.
Vertical steam burst
Hold the iron in an upright position and hold the spray button down to iron and straighten creased drapes,
curtains, clothes etc. Wait a few seconds before pressing again. The spray function is only available at high
temperatures. Stop using the spray function as soon as the soleplate temperature indicator lights up. Continue
ironing only after the indicator light goes out.
Attention:
Never direct the steam at persons or animals.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
ANTI-CALC system
The anti-calc feature fi lters minerals contained in the water and prevents them from settling in the steam
chamber.
ANTI-DRIP system
The iron automatically stops the steam output when the temperature is too low to prevent water leaking from
the ironing area when the temperature is low.
The iron can cool down to a temperature at which the steam process is not carried out, however, drops of
boiling water can cause stains. The anti-drip system is automatically activated in cases like this, preventing the
vaporization process so you can iron even the fi nest of fabrics without the risk of staining or damaging them.
Self-cleaning mode
Attention:
Perform the procedure above a sink or other suitable area.
Fill the iron tank using the supplied container to the maximum level, turn on the iron and set the temperature
control to the maximum temperature. After about 3 minutes, press
qf
auto-cleaning for about 1 minute. The
steam chamber will be cleaned with a fl ow of steam and hot water. We recommend repeating this procedure
every 14 days.
