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 socket with earthing contact.
Connected Wattage
The maximum power consumption of the appliance is 1700 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.

The symbols on the control correspond to the following settings:
MIN
Acrylic, rayon

Water Tank (4)
• Place the iron with the sole plate in an upright position on a
heat resistant surface.
• Fill the water reservoir at the refill opening (8). Use the
supplied measuring cup (12). Close the lid of the tank.
• The tank volume is 135 ml.
Water
Please use only 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.
Operation
Before Initial Use
• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please
pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.
