Instructions for use

Start up
Clean the steam iron before using for the  rst
time, according to the instructions given in
the paragraph ‘General Care and Cleaning
- Self-cleaning system’.  is will result in the
removal of possible dust particles from the
soleplate and subsequently lessen the smell
typically encountered when  rst switching
on.
Please ensure su cient ventilation.
Ironing
Steam ironing and the steam jet function z
both involve high temperatures.  e
suitable temperature range is between the
steam symbol (
) and the ‘Max’ setting.
A er  lling the reservoir with water, place –
the steam iron upright on its base stand
and insert the plug into the wall socket.
Set the temperature control knob to the –
required ironing temperature as indicated
by the ironing symbols.
During the heating-up process the –
indicator lamp will show red. It will
change to green once the required ironing
temperature is reached.
Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate z
should be cleaned by passing it over an
old, clean cotton cloth, while using the
steam jet function; this helps to  ush out
any dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the soleplate.
 e steam output can be adjusted with z
the steam control button or completely
switched o for dry ironing (
).
For dry ironing, the water reservoir may z
be empty. Should there be water le in
the reservoir, the steam jet function may
also be used when dry-ironing at higher
temperature settings.
Place the steam iron upright on its base z
stand a er use and remove the plug from
the wall socket.
Automatic switch-o
If the appliance is switched on but not being
used for a certain period of time, it will
automatically switch o . Automatic switch-
o is indicated by the red- ashing indicator
lamp. As soon as the appliance is moved, it
will switch on again.
Horizontal position:
With the iron standing on its sole plate, it
will switch o a er approx 30 seconds of
inactivity.
Vertical position:
When upright on its base stand, the iron
will switch o a er approx. 8 minutes of
inactivity.
Soleplate with extra- ne tip
 e  ne-tipped soleplate allows for ironing
even hard-to-reach areas such as around
button panels or zippers. To protect the
soleplate from scratches, do not iron over
metal buttons or zippers.
Super steam-jet
When the steam jet button (
) is depressed,
an additional steam jet is emitted from the
tip of the soleplate.  is function can be
very useful when trying to remove stubborn
creases. For a su ciently strong steam jet, the
reservoir must be at least a quarter full.
Spray nozzle
 e laundry can be dampened by pressing
the spray button (
).  is will help to
smooth out di cult areas.  e spray nozzle
may be used at any temperature level during
dry or steam ironing.
