In order to comply with safety
regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs
of electrical appliances must be carried
out by qualified personnel, including the
replacement of the power cord. If repairs
are needed, please send the appliance to
one of our customer service departments.
The address can be found in the

Anti-scale filter
A special filter in the reservoir softens the
water and reduces the build-up of lime
deposits in the sole plate
Start up
Clean the steam iron before using for the
first time, according to the instructions given
in the paragraph 'General Care and
Cleaning'. This will result in the removal of
possible dust particles from the sole plate
and subsequently lessen the smell typically
encountered when first switching on such an
appliance.
Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
Steam control
The steam control is used to regulate the
steam output.
Always wait until the appliance has reached
the selected temperature level for steam
ironing before using the steam control.
●
Ensure that the steam control is closed
when filling with water or topping up,
and also while the appliance is heating
up. With the steam control open, hot
water may be emitted through the sole
plate.
Filling with water
Fill the water reservoir before using the
steam function or the spray nozzle.
Remove the plug from the wall socket
before filling the reservoir.

resistant to hard water (up to 15º dH).
Although normal tap water may be used,

demineralised or decalcified water.
Should you be unsure about the hardness
of the water in your area, please enquire
at the relevant local authority
department.

General information about ironing

ironing instructions is attached to the article
to be ironed.
- The meaning of the ironing symbols is as
follows:
• Synthetics
(low temperature)
•• Silk and wool
(medium temperature)
••• Cotton and linen
(high temperature)
- These markings can also be found on the
LED indicator lights of the iron in the
form of dot symbols.
●
Laundry to be ironed should be sorted
according to the fabric ironing
temperature. Follow the ironing symbols
and start with the lowest temperature.
●
When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or
if you are not sure about the fabric, you
may carefully test-iron on a non-visible
point, e.g. inside a seam. Always start
with the lowest temperature.
●
If the laundry is put into a dryer before
ironing, the temperature should be
adjusted to 'iron dry'. Very dry fabrics
are difficult to iron.
