USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Filling with water
1. Remove the mains plug from the wall
socket before filling (or emptying) the
iron with water. Set the steam control
to O position in order to avoid the water
leakage.
2. Fill the filling cup with water. Hold the iron
in a tilted position and pour the water into
the water tank to the maximum level.
3. Fill the iron with normal tap water when
using it for the first time.
4. For refilling, you can also use tap water.
However, if the water is very hard, it is
advisable to use distilled water.
5. Do not put vinegar, starch, chemically, de-
scaled water or de-scaling agents in the
water reservoir.
Using the steam jet
1. This function provides an extra amount of
steam to remove stubborn creases.
2. Turn the temperature control to the
position “MAX”.
3. The indicator light turns off when the
required temperature is reached.
4. Press the steam jet button once.
5. Wait a few seconds before pressing the
steam control knob again. When there are
stubborn creases usually all creases can
be removed within three operations of the
steam jet.
Reheating the steam iron
1. Pick up the iron or move it slightly.
2. The red indicator light will go out if the
temperature of the sole plate has dropped
below the set ironing temperature, the
temperature indicator light goes on
to show that the iron is heating to the
desired temperature.
3. If the indicator light goes on after you have
moved the iron, wait for the indicator light
to go out before you commence ironing.
4. If the indicator light does not go on after
you move the iron, the sole plate still has
the right temperature and the iron is ready
for use.
Setting the temperature
1. Stand the iron on its end.
2. Set the temperature control to the correct
ironing temperature.
3. Insert the mains plug into the wall socket.
4. After the temperature light first has gone
out and has come on again, you may start
ironing.
5. The temperature light will come on from
time to time during ironing.
6. If you set the temperature control to
a lower setting after ironing at a high
temperature, please allow time for the iron
to cool. This is to prevent scorching on
your garment.
