2 Filling the water tank
Set the steam regulator (A) to the “0” position (no steam) by
lining it up with the pointer (B) on the iron and unplug the iron
from the mains!
1. Place the iron at an angle of 45° with the point facing upwards.
2. Fill the water tank (E) via the water tank inlet (C) but never above the
“max” mark (F) using the beaker * (N).
Use only clean water from the tap and do not mix anything with it. The
addition of other liquids, such as perfume, will damage the appliance.
DO NOT use condensation water from tumble dryers, air conditioners
or similar appliances. This appliance has been designed to use normal
tap water.
To prolong the optimum steam function it is possible to mix tap water
with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is very hard, mix
tap water with distilled water 1:2.
You can inquire about the water hardness with your local water supplier.
3 Setting the temperature
The temperature control (I) adjusts the temperature of the
soleplate (G).
1. Check the temperature instructions shown on the care label of the
garment you are ironing and set the temperature control (I) to the
corresponding position by lining it up with the temperature control
pointer (H) on the iron:
Fabric Temperature Setting
Synthetics •
Silk - Wool ••
Cotton - Linen •••
2. If you are unsure what type of material the garment is made from, start
ironing on the lowest temperature setting and increase accordingly. If
the garment is made from mixed fabrics, set the temperature for the
most delicate material.
3. For silk, woollen or synthetic materials iron the reverse side of the fabric
to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent
stains.
4. Sort your garments based on their care labels, always starting with
those that have to be ironed at the lowest temperature.
5. The pilot light on the top of the handle (K) will stay lit while the iron
is heating up and go out once the selected temperature has been
reached. Wait for a few seconds after the light goes out before you
start ironing. Once the iron is ready, you can continue to iron even if
the pilot lamp comes on again.
6. If your iron has auto shut-off and the pilot light is flashing, the auto-shut
off has activated. Gently move the iron from side to side to restart it.
4 Ironing with steam
The steam regulator (A) is used to adjust the amount of steam
produced when ironing.
1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (E).
2. Adjust the temperature control (I) and then set the steam regulator (A)
according to the table below by lining it up with the steam regulator
pointer (B). Steam will automatically be produced.
Temperature
Setting
Steam Regulator
Setting
••• to “max” 2
•• 1
3. You can get extra steam by pressing and holding the steam regulator
(A) for a maximum of 2 seconds.
Note: At a temperature setting of “•”, the soleplate is not hot enough to
produce steam, so the steam regulator (A) should be set to the “0” position
to avoid water dripping from the soleplate (G).
5 Ironing with shot of steam
This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles or to press in a
sharp crease or pleat. It cannot be used on a synthetic setting
for delicate items.
1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (E).
2. Set the temperature control (I) to the “•••” or “max” position and the
steam regulator (A) to the “2” position.
3. Press the shot of steam button (L) on the handle repeatedly at intervals
of 5 seconds.
6 Vertical steaming with shot of steam
This can be used to remove creases from hanging clothes,
curtains etc. It cannot be used on a synthetic setting for
delicate items.
WARNING! Do not vertical steam while the item is being worn.
Never spray or aim steam at people or animals!
1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (E).
2. Set the temperature control (I) to the “•••” or “max” position and the
steam regulator (A) to the “2” position.
3. Hold the iron in an upright position about 15 cm away from the garment
being steamed.
4. Press the shot of steam button (L) on the handle at intervals of 5
seconds, however, after 4 jets of steam, wait for 10 seconds to allow
for continued steam production.
7 Ironing without steam
This function enables the iron to be used for dry ironing.
1. Set the steam regulator (A) to the “0” position.
2. Select an appropriate temperature for the type of material being
ironed.
8 Spray
This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles.
1. Do not use the spray function with silk as staining may occur.
2. Make sure that there is water in the tank (E).
3. When ironing, press the spray button (M) and water will spray out of
the spray outlet (D) onto the garment.
9 After finishing each ironing session
1. Unplug the iron from the mains socket.
2. Set the steam regulator (A) to the “0” position.
3. Hold the iron upside down over a sink and shake it gently until all the
water has come out from the water tank inlet (C).
4. Set the iron aside in a vertical position to cool down.
5. Coil the power cable (J) loosely around the heel of the iron before
storing.
6. Store the iron in an upright position.
10 Multiple de-scaling system
This range of irons is equipped with the following descaling
features “AntiCalc”.
A. self-clean
Each time you use the steam regulator (A), the “self-clean” system cleans
the mechanism of any scale deposits.
B. calc’n clean
The “calc’n clean” function helps to remove scale particles out of the
steam chamber. Use this function approximately every 2 weeks:
1. Fill the water tank (E) with water.
2. Set the temperature control (I) to the “•••” or “max” position and plug
in the iron.
3. After the necessary warm-up period, unplug the iron.
4. Hold the iron over a sink (the correct way up) and remove the steam
regulator (A) by turning it to the “calc” position while pressing it down,
then carefully taking out the spring wrapped around the needle.
5. Using one fully filled beaker * (approximately 150 ml) slowly pour water
into the steam regulator hole (see picture below).
6. Gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out of the
soleplate (G), carrying scale or deposits that might be there. When the
iron stops dripping, reassemble the steam regulator by reinserting it,
lining up the “calc” position with the pointer, pressing it in and turning
it to the “0” position.
7. If the steam regulator needle is soiled, remove any deposits from the
tip with vinegar and rinse it off with clean water.
C. anti-calc (model dependent)
The anti-calc cartridge has been designed to reduce the build-up of scale
produced during steam ironing, helping to extend the useful life of your
iron. Nevertheless, the “anti-calc” cartridge cannot remove all of the scale
that is produced naturally over time.
11 Anti-drip system "Drip Stop"
The irons in this range are equipped with an anti-drip system.
This will automatically stop the iron producing steam when the selected
temperature setting is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the
soleplate.
You may hear a clicking sound when this system is in operation.
Using Your Iron

Additional Features (Model Dependent)
Large filling inlet with lid
Auto shut-off “Secure”
Some irons in this range are equipped with an auto-shut off system.
The “Secure” auto shut-off function switches off the iron automatically
when it is not being used, thus helping to prevent accidents and saving
energy. When the appliance is first plugged in, this function will be inactive
for the first 2 minutes to allow it to reach the set temperature.
If during ironing, the iron is not moved for a certain length of time, the
iron will automatically switch off. The length of time will depend on the
position the iron has been left in:
Horizontally (flat) or on its side: 30 seconds
Vertically (upright): 8 minutes
The pilot light on the top of the handle (K) will flash when auto shut-off
has been activated. To switch the iron back on, move it gently from side
to side. The light will stop flashing.
Tips to help you save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise the
energy used, follow the advice below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing
temperature.
• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing temperature.
• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray function
instead.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam
setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather than the iron.
If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble
drier to the ‘iron dry’ programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator
completely.
• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally with the
steam regulator on generates wasted steam.
