Electrical connection
• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and the
line voltage match.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly
installed 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket with earthing contact.
Connected Wattage
The station has a total maximum wattage of 2000 W. With this
connected load a separate supply line protected by a 16 A
household circuit breaker is recommended.
Caution: Overload!
► If you use extension leads, these should have a cable
cross-section of at least 1.5
► Do not use any multiple sockets, as this device is too
powerful.
Temperature Control on the Iron (3)
The symbols on the control correspond to the following settings:
•
(Synthetics, silk)
• •
(Wool )
• • •
(Cotton, linen)
Auto Off Function
The appliance features an automatic cut-off function.
• The steam ironing unit automatically turns off when idling
for approx. 15 minutes.
• An acoustic signal sounds and the On/Off button starts
flashing.
• Press the On/Off button again to activate the steam ironing
unit.
Water Tank (8)
• Fill the water tank through the opening at the top.
• Alternatively detach the water tank; hold at the recessed
grip at the bottom.
• A scale filter cartridge is inserted in the water tank.
• The tank volume is 0.9 liter.
Water
Use only tap water or distilled water.
Do not fill battery water, water from the clothes dryer and water
containing additives (such as starch, perfume, softener or other
chemicals) into the water reservoir.
This could damage the iron due to residues forming in the
steam chamber. These residues may cause impurities to the
fabric when dropping out of the holes in the
soleplate.
Operation
Before Initial Use
• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please pass
the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.

Ironing without steam
Note:
► Sort out the garments according to their ironing tempera-
tures.
► Always set the temperature control to "MIN" before
connecting the appliance to a power point, or before
disconnecting it.
• Place the iron on the rest (7).
• Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety
socket, 230 V/50 Hz. The On/Off button flashes.
• Press the On/Off button. The On/Off button turns on.
• Set the temperature on the temperature control (3). If you
have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the lowest
temperature.
Note:
The control lamp (9) on the iron shows that it is heating
up. As soon as the control lamp goes off the operating
temperature has been reached. Now you can start ironing.
• Always turn the temperature control to "MIN" after use and
remove the mains plug (the control lamp in the handle goes off).
Steam Ironing
Warning:
The iron expels a large quantity of hot steam. Danger of burns.
Caution:
► When using the steam iron please ensure that the water
tank is always filled to the required level.
► The lime filter cartridge always has to be positioned in the
water tank, even if you use distilled water.
Caution Intial Use:
Please proceed as follows:
► The tank should only be filled up to the maximum mark.
Do not overfill!
► Close the water tank and place it back in the base.
► Connect the base station to a 230 V / 50 Hz socket with
earthing contact. The On/Off button flashes.
► Press the On/Off button. The On/Off button turns on.
► Press one of the three steam buttons to select the
amount of steam.
► Set the desired temperature within the range "• •" to "• • •".
The control lamp on the iron lights up.
► Wait until the soleplate has heated up. Once the tempera-
ture has been reached the control lamp goes off.
► Now press the steam jet button (1) for at least 1 minute
or until steam comes out of the soleplate of the iron. This
time is needed for the steam to reach the iron.
Note Initial Use:
Do not select a temperature lower than "• •" for steam ironing;
otherwise the steam temperature is not sufficient.
