Automatic switch-off
If the appliance is switched on but has not
been used for a certain period of time, it
will automatically switch off. This automatic
switch-off is indicated by a beep signal; in
addition, the main indicator lamp in the
handle flashes. The automatic switch-off is
indicated by a beep signal; in addition, the
red indicator light flashes. As soon as the
iron is moved, it will switch itself on again.
Horizontal position:
When resting on its sole plate, the iron
will switch off after approx 30 seconds of
inactivity.
Vertical position:
When standing upright on its base, it will
switch off after approx. 8 minutes.
Steam jet
When the steam jet button is depressed,
an additional hot steam jet is emitted from
the soleplate. This function can be very
useful when the normal amount of steam
emitted is not sufficient to remove stubborn
creases, or when ironing difficult or thick
fabrics.
For optimum steam output, wait about 4
seconds before using this function again.
The steam jet function may also be used
with the iron held vertically, to remove
creases or wrinkles from fabrics.
Note:
For a more powerful steam jet, set the
steam control to 'dry ironing'.

General care and cleaning
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it
is disconnected from the power supply
and has cooled down completely.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
∙ If necessary, the unit may be wiped with
a dry lint-free cloth.
∙ Starch, fat and other deposits on the
soleplate may be removed by wiping
with a damp cloth.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.

Self-cleaning system
The self-cleaning system flushes out loose

has not been used for an extended period,
or otherwise every 10-15 days. Proceed
as follows:
∙ Set the steam control to 'dry ironing'.
∙ Fill the water reservoir with water up to
the maximum level mark.
∙ Place the iron on its base stand and put
the plug into the wall socket.
∙ Set the temperature control to its
maximum.
∙ Wait until the indicator light goes out.
