3How to Use
Operation
A. Before First Use
Peel off the protective foil from the soleplate and wipe the soleplate with a soft cloth.
B. Filling the Water Tank
Warning! Make sure the appliance is not connected to the power supply before filling
the tank with water.
1. In order to avoid early furring up, we recommend to use distilled water only.
2. Make sure the Steam Control set to “ 0 “ (Steam off)
3. Open the Water Inlet
4. Fill in water (no additives) up to the maximum filling mark indicated on the water tank.
5. Close the Water Inlet.
Note: Empty the Water Tank after use.
C. Connection to the Power Supply
1. After connecting to power supply, the Temperature Pilot Light will light up while the
appliance heating up.
2. It goes off as soon as the appliance reaches pre-set temperature and you may now
start ironing.
3. During ironing, the Temperature Pilot Light automatically turn on and off as the
appliance heats up / reaches to the pre-set temperature.
D. Setting the Temperature
Set the Temperature Control according to the international textile protection symbols
(located on the Temperature control and washing label of the garment)
Rayon,Acrylic – Low Temperature
Silk, Wool – Medium Temperature
Cotton, Linen – High Temperature
E. Steam Ironing
Note: The appliance works at a constant steam volume, i.e., the steam pressure stays
same regardless of the filling level in the Water Tank.
1. Adjust the Temperature Control to the desired setting.
2. Set the steam on using the Steam Control.
3. If steam escapes from the Soleplate when the appliance is held horizontally, it is ready
for stream ironing.
4. To steam iron delicate synthetics, set the Temperature Control to a medium temperature
level. Once the Temperature Pilot Light has gone out, set the Steam Control to the
steam setting. Hold the appliance horizontally first to see whether steam is produced.
Then start ironing (check the setting at a hidden area of the garment).As the steam
produces a kind of barrier between the soleplate and cloth, most textiles are suitable
for steam ironing.
F. Power Steam
1. Press the Power Steam Button to generate a power burst of steam that can penetrate
the fabrics and smoothen the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds
before pressing again.
2. It is also possible to use the power steam for straightening hanging clothes (vertical
shot of steam). Press the Power Steam Button in intervals then.

Note: If water drips from the Soleplate, its temperature might be too low. Either increase
the temperature or wait for a few seconds before pressing the button again to let the
Soleplate heat up.
G. Spray
Use the spray function to iron out stubborn creases at any temperature. Simply press the
Spray Button when required. Make sure there is enough water in the Water Tank.
H. Dry Ironing
For dry ironing, set the Steam Control to 0 (Steam off).
If you put down the iron in an upright position, steam production stops as well.
I. Self-Cleaning
Regularly clean the steam iron depending on the frequency of use and the local water
quality. In case of rather hard water self-cleaning is recommended at least every 2 weeks.
1. Set the Steam Control to “0” (steam off).
2. Set the Temperature Control to the highest level.
3. Open the Water Inlet and fill water up to the maximum filling mark into the Water Tank.
Close the Water Inlet.
4. Connect the power plug of the appliance to the wall socket.
5. Let the appliance heat up until the Temperature Pilot Light goes out.
6. Disconnect the power plug.
7. Hold the appliance horizontally across a sink.
8. Push the Steam Control to Self-Clean. Boiling hot water and steam come out of the
Soleplate washing out any limescale. Sway the iron to and fro during this.
9. Set the Steam Control to “0” (steam off).
10. Wipe the Soleplate on a (preferably) old piece of cloth. Connect the power plug to the
wall socket again and let it heat up.Any residual water now evaporates through the
Soleplate.
11. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before stowing it away.
J. Storage
1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2. Set the Temperature Control to the lowest level.
3. Empty the Water Tank.
4. 1.Set the Steam Control to “0” (steam off).
5. If necessary, wipe the appliance with a damp cloth.
6. Store the appliance out of the reach of children and in a clean and dry place.
K. Useful Tips / Advice
1. When the appliance is used for the first time, some smoke may be generated.This is
quite normal and stops shortly after having started ironing.
2. Damp clothes are easier to iron than fully dry clothes.
3. Before the first use or when the appliance has not been used for some time, hold it
horizontally and let steam escape for approx. 1 minute by pressing the Power Steam
Button several times.
4. When using spray starch, we recommend wiping the Soleplate from time to time to
avoid the build-up of any residues.
