iron-off function
The iron-off function automatically switches off the soleplate when you
have not pressed the steam trigger for a particular number of minutes. The
number of minutes depends on the iron-off time you have selected.
You can select an iron-off time of 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes (see section
'Display menu').
1 The display shows the text 'IRON OFF' and you hear an intermittent
beep.
 If you want to iron again, press any button on the iron.
The soleplate heats up again.
,
Note: The iron-off function switches off the soleplate but does not switch
off the steam generator. If you intend to stop ironing, switch off the appliance
and unplug it.
tips
- When you steam iron woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. To
prevent this, use a dry pressing cloth or turn the article inside out and
iron the reverse side.
- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric
to prevent shiny patches.
- Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one
direction only (along with the nap) while you apply very little pressure.
- Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk. This could cause stains.

Cleaning and maintenance

after ironing

1 Put the iron on the iron stand (see chapter 'Storage') and switch off
the appliance.
 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance
cool down.
 Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp
cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
 Clean the upper part of the iron and the outside of the steam
generator with a moist cloth.
5 Empty the water tank after cleaning.

Calc-Clean function

Never remove the Calc-Clean rinsing cap when the steam generator is
hot.
VERY IMPORTANT: Rinse the steam generator once a month or after
every 10 times of use to prevent damage to the appliance and for
optimal steaming performance.
