Intended use
The appliance must be used only for ironing
garments which are suitable for ironing according to
the care label. In addition the appliance can be used
for refreshing. Never iron or dampen garments
while wearing them.
Before fi rst use
Take the unit out of the carton. Remove all pieces of
the packing. Remove any possible extant labels on
the unit (do not remove the rating plate).
When steam is ready for the fi rst time we recommend
to iron for a few minutes over a rag to avoid that
manufacturing residues dirty your garments.
(A) Filling the water tank
• Make sure that the appliance is switched off and
the system is unplugged.
• Remove the water tank (9).
• Fill the water tank with tap water, taking care not
to exceed the «max» level. If you have extremely
hard water, we recommend that you use a mixture
of 50 % tap water and 50 % distilled water.
• Never use distilled water exclusively. Do not
add any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use
condensation water from a tumble dryer.
• Insert the water tank.
• Place the appliance on a stable, level surface.
Note: If you use fi ltering devices or in-house
permanent descaler, make absolutely sure the
water obtained is neutral ph.
Water tank empty LED
• When the water tank is empty, the LED (7) is
continuously on and the temperature control
LED (17) is fl ashing.
• If you want to continue steam ironing, refi ll the
water tank (A).
• Press the reset button (4).
(B) Start into operation
Before starting to iron, follow the garment care label
instructions carefully. Fabrics with this symbol
are not ironable.
• Place the iron on the iron rest (8) or on its heel
rest (18), unwind the cord completely, plug in the
appliance and press the On/Off button (1).
• The iron will start to heat up and the temperature
control LED (17) on the iron as well as the On/Off
LED (2) will fl ash. Once the temperature is
reached, both LEDs are permanently on.
Steam ironing
Press the steam button (15) or the precision shot
button (16).
Double trigger
Press the steam button (15) or the precision shot
button (16) twice in quick succession within 1 second.
There will be a continuous steam emission for a few
seconds. Press the steam button or the precision
shot button once again during steam emission to
stop the function.
Dry ironing
Iron without pressing the steam button (15) or the
precision shot button (16). Please note that after
10 minutes of dry ironing, the system switches to
the boiler sleep mode.
Vertical steam
The iron can also be used for steaming hanging
clothes (B). Hold the iron in a vertical position, tilted
slightly forwards. Press repeatedly the steam button
(15) or the precision shot button (16) while moving
the iron from top to the bottom.
Steam is very hot: never iron or dampen garments
while wearing them.
3D soleplate
The unique round shape of the 3D soleplate ensures
best gliding results on diffi cult parts (e. g. buttons,
pockets etc.)
