7 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 use 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 (J).
2. Set the temperature control (H) to the «•••» or «max» position
and the steam regulator (C) 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 (A) on the handle at intervals of
5 seconds. However, after 4 jets of steam, wait for 10 seconds
to allow for continued steam production.
8 Ironing without steam
This function enables the iron to be used for dry ironing.
1. Set the steam regulator (C) to the «0» position.
2. Select an appropriate temperature for the type of material being
ironed.
9 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 (J).
3. When ironing, press the spray button (B) and water will spray
out of the spray outlet (F) onto the garment.
10 After finishing each ironing session
1. Unplug the iron from the mains socket.
2. Set the steam regulator (C) to the «0» position.
3. Hold the iron with the point facing down and shake it gently
until all the water has come out.
4. Set the iron aside in a vertical position to cool down.
5. Coil the power cable (L) loosely around the heel of the iron,
before storing.
6. Store the iron in an upright position.
11 Multiple de-scaling system
This range of irons is equipped with the following de-scaling
features “AntiCalc”.
A. self-clean
Each time you use the steam regulator (C), 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, if the water in your area is very hard.
Fill the water tank, set the temperature dial (H) to the “max”.
position and plug in the iron.
After the necessary warm-up period, unplug the iron and hold it
over a sink. Take out the steam regulator (C) by turning it to the
position “calc” while pressing it. Gently shake the iron. Boiling
water and steam will come out, carrying scale or deposits that
might be there. When the iron stops dripping, reassemble the
steam regulator in reverse order and move it to the «0» position.
Heat up the iron again until the remaining water has evaporated.
If the steam regulator needle is soiled, remove any deposits from
the needle tip with vinegar and rinse off with clean water.
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.
Note: At a temperature setting of “•”, the soleplate is not hot enough
to produce steam so the steam regulator should be set to the «0»
position to avoid water dripping from the soleplate (I).
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. Set the temperature control (H) to the “•••” or “max” position.
2. Set the steam regulator (C) to the «2» position.
3. Press the shot of steam button (A) on the handle repeatedly at
intervals of 5 seconds.
6 Extra steam
To facilitate the ironing of very creased laundry or thick materials,
the volume of steam can be increased briefly. To do this, set
the temperature regulator to “max.”. Press and hold the steam
regulator (C) for a maximum of 2 seconds.
2 Filling the water tank
Set the steam regulator (C) to the «0» position and
unplug the iron from the mains!
1. Place the iron at an angle of 45º
2. Fill the tank but never above the “max” mark
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.
Using Your Iron
1 Your iron
3 Setting the temperature
The temperature control (H) adjusts the temperature of the
soleplate (I).
1. Check the temperature instructions shown on the care label
of the garment you are ironing and set the temperature
control (H) to the corresponding position by lining it up with
the pointer (G) 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. Sort your garments based on their care labels, always starting
with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest temperature.
4. The pilot lamp (K) will stay lit while the iron is heating up and go
out once the selected temperature has been reached. Wait a
few seconds after the lamp goes out before you start ironing.
Once the iron is ready, you can continue to iron even if the pilot
lamp comes on again.
4 Ironing with steam
The steam regulator (C) is used to adjust the amount of
steam produced when ironing.
1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (J).
2. Adjust the temperature setting and then set the steam regulator
according to the table below. Steam will automatically be
produced:
