Instructions
Unpacking
• Remove any protective foils and stickers from the sole-
plate.
• Please unwind the lead completely.
Electrical connection
• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and the
line voltage match.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly
installed 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket with earthing contact.
Power Requirements
The station has a total maximum wattage of 2200 W. With
this connected load a separate supply line protected by a
16 A household circuit breaker is recommended.
CAUTION: OVERLOAD!
• If you use extension leads, these should have a cable
cross-section of at least 1.5 mm²
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this device is too
powerful.
Function of the Handle (9)
The handle attached to the base
serves for carrying the appliance
when the mains plug has been
pulled from the outlet.
• To carry the appliance, raise the
handle until it engages (Fig. A). A
"click" confirms that the handle
has been locked. You can use
the handle for transport of the
appliance.
• To unlock the handle lock, press
both buttons "UNLOCK" (7) at
the same time and lower the
handle (Fig. B).
Temperature Control on the Iron (2)
The symbols on the control correspond to the following
settings:
MIN
(Synthetics)
(Wool, Silk)
(Cotton)
(Linen)
Water Tank (8)
• The water tank has a recessed grip on the bottom so that
it can be removed.
• The lock of the water tank is also the lime filter cartridge.
Take out the lime filter cartridge to fill with water. With
this, proceed as described under "How can I replenish
the water during operation?".
• The tank volume is 1.0 litres.
• The tank illumination lights once the mains plug has
been inserted into the outlet. It indicates readiness for
steam ironing when the lime filter cartridge and the water
tank have been set correctly.
Water
Use only tap water or distilled water.
Do not fill battery water, water from the clothes dryer and
water containing additives (such as starch, perfume, softener
or other chemicals) into the water reservoir.
This could damage the iron due to residues forming in the
steam chamber. These residues may cause impurities to the
fabric when dropping out of the holes in the soleplate.
