Holding the iron slightly inclined (as shown
in B), fi ll the water tank up to the «max»
marking.
•
Place the iron upright on its heel rest and
connect it to the mains.
Select the temperature according to the
ironing guide on the heel rest of the iron or

approx. 1 1/2 min.).
C Ironing
Vario steam
You can select the steam quantity by
turning the steam regulator (6) in a range
from «0» to «6».
The temperature selector has a minimum
temperature level 2 (••).
We recommend a medium steam setting
for all normal ironing. Only when ironing
linen, thick cotton or similar fabrics we
recommend the maximum steam setting.
Notice: While ironing, do not turn the
steam regulator beyond setting «6».
Vario plus steam
For extra steam, press the steam regulator
(6) for max. 30 seconds.
The temperature selector has a minimum
temperature level 3 (•••).
Precision shot
Prior to use, press the precision shot
button (4) 3 to 4 times to activate it.
Press the precision shot button in inter-
vals of at least 5 seconds for a powerful
steam shot with preconditioning steam.
Precision shot can be activated when
dry ironing. However, the temperature
selector has a minimum temperature
level 3 (•••).
The precision shot function can also be
used in the vertical position for steaming
hanging clothes.
Caution: Hot steam comes out from the
preconditioning nozzles.
Spray function
Press the spray button (5).
Dry ironing
Set the steam regulator (6) on position «0»
(= steam off).
Automatic shut-off
The «auto-off» mechanism causes a slight
rattling noise during ironing. This is normal
and in no case indicates a fault of the iron.
The red «auto-off» light (9) will fl ash when
the automatic shut-off is activated.
This happens when the iron has rested:
– horizontally on its sole plate for about
30 seconds or
– vertically on its heel rest for about
8 minutes.
To turn on the iron again, just move it.
When the «auto-off» pilot light stops
fl ashing, the electrical power is on again.
10
The automatic shut-off will be activated
approximately 2 minutes after the iron is
plugged into a socket.
D Textile Protectors
Textile Protector
The Textile Protector protects delicate
fabrics from heat damage so that you can
iron most fabrics without an intermediate
cloth. A special coating avoids shiny
patches.
With the Textile Protector, you are able to
iron delicate fabrics with the temperature
setting (•••) to «max», so that you can
use all steam functions your iron offers.
To check the reaction of your fabrics
before you start ironing, we recommend
that you iron a small section of material on
the reverse side. However, in order not to
damage the coating, avoid ironing over
e.g. zippers, metal buttons/rivets or strass
with the Textile Protector attached.
After having attached the Textile
Protector, wait about 1 1/2 minutes before
you start ironing.
Soft Textile Protector
The Soft Textile Protector ensures an
increased heat protection and utmost
care for most delicate fabrics thanks to its
specially designed SoftTouch cushion.
Even most delicate, ironable* fabrics are
protected against heat damage and shiny
patches are avoided.
With the Soft Textile Protector attached,
you can iron all ironable fabrics without an
intermediate cloth. The Soft Textile
Protector is perfectly suited for touching
up e.g. creases of delicate business suits
without having to use an ironing cloth.
With the Soft Textile Protector , you are
able to iron delicate fabrics with the
temperature setting (•••) to «max», so
that you can use all steam functions your
iron offers.
However, in order not to damage the
SoftTouch cushion, avoid ironing over e.g.
zippers, metal buttons/rivets or strass
with the Soft Textile Protector attached.
(* in order to know whether a piece of
garment is ironable, please refer to its care
label.)
E After ironing
Unplug the iron and turn the steam
regulator to position «0». To prolong the
life of the iron, empty the water tank.
Store the cool iron in a dry place always
standing on its heel rest.
F Maintenance and cleaning
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or
other chemicals. To clean the soft material
on the handle, use soapy water.
