Before first use

NOTE
► As every steam brush is tested for functional-
ity after manufacture, it is possible that drop-
lets of water remain in the water tank 1 .
♦ Fill the water tank with water 1 (see chapter

"Filling the appliance with water") .

♦ Insert the plug 7 into a properly installed and
grounded wall socket .
♦ Hold the steam brush horizontally .
♦ Set the temperature control 3 to "MAX" .
♦ Heat the steam brush up for several minutes at
the highest setting . This will loosen production
residue from the ironing sole 0 .
♦ Activate the steam blast button 8 several times
so that steam comes out of the ironing sole 0 .
♦ Then iron over a piece of scrap fabric to remove
any production residues that may remain on the
ironing sole 0 .
NOTE
► The first time the appliance heats up, a small
amount of smoke and odour may result from
production-related residues . This is normal and
is completely harmless . Ensure sufficient venti-
lation; for example, by opening a window .
