Power Steam (horizontally and vertically)
Press the power steam button (3) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can
penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a
few seconds before pressing again.
It is also possible to use the power steam for straightening hanging clothes
(vertical shot of steam). Press the power steam button (3) in intervals then.
Please note: If water drips from the soleplate (12), its temperature might be too
low. Either increase the temperature or wait a few seconds before pressing the
button again to let the soleplate (12) heat up.
Spray
Use the spray function to iron out stubborn creases at any temperature. Simply
press the spray button (5), when required. Make sure there is enough water in the
water tank (9).
Dry Ironing
For dry ironing, set the steam control (4) to 0 (steam off).
If you put down the iron in an upright position, steam production stops as well.
Anti-Calc System
A special filter inside the water tank softens the water and prevents scale build-up
in the soleplate. The filter is permanent and does not need replacing.
Note: Use tap water only. Distilled and demineralised water makes the anti-
calc system ineffective by altering its physico-chemical characteristics.
Self-Cleaning
Regularly clean the steam iron depending on the frequency of use and the local
water quality. In case of rather hard water, self-cleaning is recommended at least
every 2 weeks.
1. Set the steam control (4) to - (steam off).
2. Set the temperature control (9) to the highest level.
3. Open the water inlet (2) and fill water up to the maximum filling mark into the
water tank (9). Close the water inlet (2).
4. Connect the power plug of the iron to the wall socket.
5. Let the iron heat up until the temperature pilot light (6) goes out.
6. Disconnect the power plug.
7. Hold the iron horizontally across a sink.
8. Press the self-clean button (11). Boiling hot water and steam come out of the
soleplate (12) washing out any limescale. Sway the iron to and fro to clean
surrounding areas of the vents.
9. Set the steam control (4) to - (steam off).
10. Wipe the soleplate (12) on a (preferably) old piece of cloth. Connect the power
plug to the wall socket again and let it heat up. Any residual water now evaporates
through the soleplate (12).
11. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before stowing it away.
