Notes for Use
Unpacking
• Remove any protective foils and stickers from the sole
plate.
• Please unwind the lead completely.
Electrical Connection
• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and the
line voltage match.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly
installed socket with earthing contact.
Connected Wattage
The maximum power consumption of the appliance is
2400 W. With this connected load a separate supply line
protected by a 16 A household circuit breaker is recom-
mended.
CAUTION: Overload!
• If you use extension leads, these should have a cable
cross-section of at least 1.5 mm².
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this appliance is
too powerful.
Temperature Control on the Iron (8)
The symbols on the control correspond to the following
settings:
OFF
off
(synthetics, rayon, silk)
low temperature
(ironing without steam)
(wool) medium temperature
(cotton, linen) high temperature
MAX
maximum temperature
• Turn woollen clothes inside out to avoid shiny spots on
the fabric due to steam ironing. In addition, lay a thin
cotton cloth onto the fabric.
• Select a low temperature setting for fabrics with addi-
tional surface treatment and iron them inside out.
NOTE:
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Start ironing
with the lowest temperature setting.
Water
• Please use only distilled water.
• Do not ll battery water, water from the clothes dryer
and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume,
softener or other chemicals) into the water reservoir.
• This could damage the iron due to residues forming in
the steam chamber. These residues may cause impu-
rities to the fabric when dropping out of the holes in the
sole plate.
Operation
Before Initial Use
• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please
pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.
Ironing without Cord
You can iron without the cord with or without steam. The
preset temperature is maintained for around 25 seconds
when ironing without the cord. If you want to continue iron-
ing at this temperature, the iron must be heated up again.
To do this, place it on the base. The release button must be
at the “ ” symbol. To lock the iron, push the release button
to position “ ”.
Ironing without Steam
NOTE:
1. Sort out the garments according to their ironing
temperatures.
2. Always set the temperature control to “OFF” before
connecting the appliance to a power point, or before
disconnecting it. Please follow the temperature control
markings (6).
