steam ironing
The supply hose may become hot during a long ironing session.
Note: The system may occasionally produce a pumping sound during steam ironing. This is normal and
tells you that water is pumped into the steam generator.
1 Make sure there is enough water in the water tank.
2 Make sure the appliance is plugged in and switched on (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
3 Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
Steam ironing is only possible at ironing temperatures higher than
2
.

panel (Fig. 6).

After approx. 2 minutes, the steam light stays on continuously to indicate that the steam
generator is ready for steam ironing.
Note: During ironing, you can adjust the steam setting with the + and - steam buttons. It takes a few
moments before the amount of steam is adjusted.
5 Press the steam trigger to start steam ironing (Fig. 7).
When you put down the iron during ironing, put it on its heel or on the iron stand.
,
The opening and closing of the steam valve in the steam generator causes a clicking sound.
This is normal.
steam lock function
The steam lock allows you to steam iron non-stop without having to press the steam activator
continuously.
- When you slide the steam lock forwards, the iron produces steam continuously. To stop
steaming, slide the steam lock backwards (Fig. 8).
- When the steam lock is deactivated, the iron only produces steam when you press the steam
trigger.
Note: Release the steam lock when you put the iron on its heel or on the iron stand. This prevents that
hot steam escapes from the iron or that the iron stand gets wet.
vertical steaming
Never direct the steam at people.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position and press the steam trigger to steam iron hanging curtains
and clothes (jackets, suits, coats) (Fig. 9).
shot of steam
A powerful shot of steam helps to remove stubborn creases.
1 Set the temperature dial to a position between
3
and MAX.
2 Press the shot-of-steam button (Fig. 10).
Note: Use the shot-of-steam function intermittently. If water droplets come out of the soleplate, let the
iron heat up for at least one minute before you use the shot-of-steam function again.
