preparations
1. remove any label or protective covering from
the soleplate.
2. place the appliance horizontally on a solid,
stable surface.
model dependent:
you may remove the iron pad (2*) from the
appliance and place the iron on it on another
solid, stable, horizontal surface. never rest the
iron on the appliance without the iron pad!
3. Fill the water tank, making sure not to pass the
level mark.
4. Unwind the mains cable (6) fully and plug it
into an earthed socket.
5. Set the main power switch (11) to the "i"
position.
6. The "Steam ready" indicator lamp (8) will light
up after several minutes, indicating that the
appliance is ready to use.
The steam generator will take more time to
reach "Steam ready" state only upon the initial
heating up, or after performing the de-scaling
operation (Calc'n clean).
When water is already present in the steam
generator during regular use, heat up time to
reach the operating temperature will be faster.
7. This appliance has a built-in water level
sensor. The "refill water tank" indicator (9*) will
light when the water tank is empty.
