Always pull the plug, not the cord.
• The cord should never come in contact with hot
objects or the sole plate.
•
Never immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron must be used and rested on a stable
surface.
• During ironing pauses, always place the iron
upright on its heel rest and ensure that the heel

the red range (between «••» and «max»).
Preconditioning
(only with model SI 2040)
Steam also develops horizontally at the front
area of the sole plate. This preconditions the
textiles by «pre-steaming», thus making ironing
easier.
Be careful – steam comes out laterally.

Prior to use, press the Power shot button (5)
3 to 4 times to activate it.
Press the Power shot button in intervals of at
least 5 seconds.

4 Dry ironing
Set the steam regulator (3) on position «0»

D After ironing
Unplug the iron and turn the steam regulator to
position «0». To prolong the life of the iron,
empty the water tank. Store the cool iron in a dry
place always standing on its heel rest.
E Maintenance and cleaning
To prevent damaging the sole plate, do not iron
over metal buttons or zippers. Clean the sole
plate regularly with a damp cloth. To remove
mineral/starch residues, use a vinegar/water
mixture in the ratio of 1 : 2. Never use steel wool,
abrasive scouring pads, powders or other
chemicals to clean the sole plate.
F Cleaning the anticalc valve
The anticalc valve located on the lower end of
the steam regulator (3) has to be decalcified
regularly (e.g. whenever steam development is
insufficient). For this, the water tank has to be
empty.
Removing the steam regulator with the anticalc
valve:
Turn the steam regulator clockwise towards .
Keep on turning firmly beyond the resistance
until the steam regulator is lifted. When
positioned at «•» (anticalc system), pull it out
vertically. Do not touch the anticalc valve at its
lower end. Immerse the anticalc valve in vinegar
(not vinegar essence) or lemon juice for a
minimum of 30 minutes. Brush off remaining
residues and rinse under running water
(fig. F 1–5).
Re-inserting the steam regulator:
When re-inserting the steam regulator, make
sure the steam regulator base still points on
setting «•» (anticalc system) (fig. F 6). When
firmly pushing down the steam regulator, it turns
back to (fig. F 7) where it catches.
Notice: The iron must never be used without
steam regulator.
In order to clean the steam chamber from
residues, decalcify it as shown in picture section
G 1–11.
Caution: Hot water and steam will come out
from the sole plate when the steam regulator is
turned clockwise beyond .
Wait for the sole plate to cool down, then clean
it as described above.
Then refill the tank with water, heat up the iron
and press the Power shot button four times to
rinse the iron before ironing (fig. G 12–14).
Do not use commercial decalcifiers, they may
damage the iron.
Remedy
Turn the steam regulator
anti-clockwise to reduce
the steam or turn it off.
Take longer intervals when
pressing the Power shot
button.
Select a higher tempera-
ture setting.
Check water level. Clean
the anticalc valve.
Decalcify the steam
chamber.
