Operation
Before Initial Use

• 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 tem-
peratures.
• Always set the temperature control to "MIN" before
connecting the appliance to a power point, or before
disconnecting it.
• If the handle should still be in the carrying position,
unlock the lock as described above under "Function of
the Handle".
• Place the iron on the rest (6).
• Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety
socket, 230 V~, 50 Hz.
• Set the temperature on the temperature control (2). If you
have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the lowest
temperature.
NOTE:
The control lamp (10) 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: INITIAL 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 tank illumination indicates readi-
ness for steam ironing.
• 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 tem-
perature has been reached the control lamp goes off.
CAUTION: INITIAL USE:
• Press the steam jet button (1) for at least 1 minute. As
an alternative, you can pull back the lock (12) to lock the
steam jet button (11). This time is needed for the steam
to reach the iron. A slightly louder noise of the pump is
normal with this.
NOTE ON STEAM IRONING:
If the temperature control is set to less than " " the
production of steam is prevented.
Vertical Steam function (Vertical Steam)
This can be used to produce a jet of steam in a vertical
direction. This function can be used to remove creases from
hanging clothes or from curtains.
WARNING:
Never point the steam jet at other people. Danger of
burns.
Hang your laundry on a clothes hanger and move the iron to
approximately 5-15 cm away.
How can I replenish the water dur-
ing operation?
Refill with water before the tank is
completely empty. A loud noise of
the pump during operation indicates
that the water level is too low.
• Place the iron on the rest (6).
• Set the temperature control to "MIN".
• Remove the mains plug from the socket.
• In order to remove the tank, press the
RELEASE button below the water tank.

• Remove the lime filter cartridge (Fig. D).
• Fill the tank up to the maximum mark
(Fig. E). Do not overfill!
• Reinsert the lime filter cartridge and
push the tank back into the base
(Fig. F + G). A "click" confirms that the
water tank
has been
set correctly.
• You can
now
continue
ironing.
NOTE:
The tank illumination lights once the mains plug has been
inserted into the outlet. If it does not light, the lime filter
cartridge or the water tank has not been set correctly.
Check both positions.
