(A) Start ironing
Filling the water tank
• Make sure that the appliance is switched
off and unplugged.
• Fill the water tank with tap water by
holding the iron slightly inclined, taking
care not to exceed the "max" level. If you
have extremely hard water, we recom-
mend that you use a mixture of 50 % tap
water and 50 % distilled water.
• Attention: Never use distilled water
exclusively. Do not add any additives (e.g.
starch). Do not use condensation water
from a tumble dryer.
Ironing with steam
• Place the iron on its heel rest (9) and
plug in.
• The iron will start to heat up and the
temperature control LED (7) on the iron
will blink.
• Once the temperature has been reached,
the temperature control LED turns
permanently on. Thanks to the ultimate
iCare technology, it is possible to iron
with one temperature setting, which is
perfectly suitable for all garments, without
damaging even delicate garments.
Steam options:
• Continuous steam (normal)
Select the steam quantity by turning the
steam regulator (4) in a range from «1» to
«6». We recommend a medium steam
setting for regular ironing. Only when
ironing tough fabrics like linen, thick
cotton or jeans it is recommended to use
the maximum steam setting.
Note: While ironing, do not turn the steam
regulator beyond setting «6».
• Continuous steam (turbo)
When the steam regulator is positioned
anywhere between «0» and «6» it is
possible to activate the turbo function by
pressing the turbo steam button (5) in
order to emit the highest steam output
and remove stubborn creases.
Press the turbo steam button for not more
than 30 seconds.
• Steam shot
Prior to use, press the steam shot trigger
(6) 3 to 4 times to activate it.
• For a powerful boost of steam, press the
steam shot trigger at intervals of a few
seconds.
• It is possible to use the steam shot
function by holding the iron in a vertical
position and pulling the steam shot
trigger. This is useful for removing creases
from hanging clothes, curtains etc.

Spray function
The spray function (3) produces a fine mist
that evenly moistens the fabric and makes it
easier to iron out creases on very tough
textiles.
Dry ironing
Set the steam regulator (4) on position «0»
(= steam off).
3D soleplate
The unique round shape of the 3D soleplate
ensures best gliding results on difficult parts
(e. g. buttons, pockets etc.) and in all
directions – even backwards.
(B) Auto off
For safety and reduced power consumption,
the auto-off function is automatically
activated when the iron is positioned
horizontally on its soleplate for about 1
minute or vertically on its heel rest for about
8 minutes.
• When the iron is in the auto-off mode the
temperature control LED (7) is blinking.
• To turn the iron on again, just move it
forward.
• Before start ironing again wait until the
temperature control LED is turned on.
(C) After ironing
• Unplug the iron and empty the water tank.
• Let the iron cool down before storing.
(D) Descaling
Preparation
1. Set the steam regulator (4) on position
«0» (= steam off).
2. Fill the water tank.
3. Plug in.
4. Wait until the temperature control LED
(7) turns permanently on and unplug the
iron. Hold the iron over the sink.
5. Turn the steam regulator clockwise
beyond steam stetting «6». When you
hear a click pull it out vertically until the
end of the spring appears. It must not be
removed completely.
Self clean
6. Move the appliance over the sink. Hot
water and steam will come out from the
soleplate along with the calc particles
from the steam chamber. Repeat 1.-6.
