CAUTION: INITIAL USE:
Please proceed as follows:
• The tank should only be fi lled up to the maximum
mark. Do not overfi ll!
• If there is any residual water in the tank, we recom-
mend that you do the following:
• Continue ironing with steam until the control
lamp (8) shows that there is not enough
water and no further steam comes out of the
soleplate of the iron. Then fi ll up the water tank
as instructed (see under „How do I fi ll in water
during operation").
or:
• Pour the residual water into a measuring cup
and fi ll it with distilled water up to the maxi-
mum mark of the tank (0.8 litres).
• Close the water tank.
• Connect the base station to a 230 V / 50 Hz socket
with earthing contact.
• Turn the switch (10) on the base on.
• Set the desired temperature within the range „• •"
to „• • •".
• Please wait until the control lamp (7) on the base
lights up.
• Now press the steam jet button (14) for at least
1 minute or use the bar (13) to lock the steam jet
button in place.
NOTE:
• This time is needed for the steam to reach the
iron.
• Keep a cloth ready! During this phase water
also comes out of the soleplate of the iron.
• When only steam comes out without any water
you can stop the procedure. Then press the steam
jet button another 2-3 times without touching the
clothes that are to be ironed.
• After you have ironed an old but clean cloth a few
times, your station is ready for use.
• In order to regulate the steam quantity, please use
the steam regulator (11).
• When ironing at low temperatures, please ensure that
you do not use any steam. If the temperature is too
low water may leak from the soleplate.
Vertical Steam
This can be used to produce a jet of steam in a vertical
direction.
Hang your laundry on a clothes hanger and move the
iron to approximately 2-3 cm away .
How can I replenish the water during operation?
If the pressure falls during operation you can fi ll more
water into the tank at the same time. Refi ll with water
before the tank is completely empty. The lamp (8) shows
that there is not enough water.

• If you have been using the permanent steam func-
tion, release the bar (13).
• Turn the switch (10) on the base off .
NOTE:
If there is still some residual pressure in the water
tank, a safety lock prevents the water tank catch
(2) from being opened.
WARNING:
The residual pressure fi rst has to be relieved
before the device can be safely opened.
• With the steam jet button (14) you can now release
the residual steam pressure. If no more steam comes
out of the soleplate, please remove the plug and
release the water tank lock (2) carefully.
WARNING:
• The steam is hot! There is a danger of scal-
ding!
• Do not touch the hot iron!
NOTE:
If it is not yet possible to open the lock of the wa-
ter tank the device needs a further 2 to 3 minutes
to cool down. Then release the residual pressure
again.
• Fill the tank with the help of the funnel. Do not
overfi ll! Take care of water splashes that might come
out of the boiler. In order to avoid water splashing
out, the water should be fi lled into the funnel after
the safety lock has been opened and the iron allowed
to cool down for about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Close the water tank.
• Continue ironing.
NOTE:
Keep a cloth ready! At fi rst water may also be expelled
from the soleplate of the iron.
WARNING:
Never open the water tank lock while the device is
being operated.
When you have fi nished
• Now you can start ironing. Always turn the tempera-
ture control to „0" after use and remove the mains
plug (the control lamp in the handle goes off ).
• Turn the switch (10) on the base off .
• Remove the mains plug from the socket.
• Keep the plug in your hand.
• Press the cable winding button (6) and guide the
cable. Hold the cable to avoid wrapping.
• Allow the device to cool down before you put it
away.
