• Never use vinegar,
descaling agents or
other chemicals.
- Close the steam tank
by turning the screw
cap clockwise by hand
until tight (fig. 3).
• If you begin ironing
- Fill the steam tank before inserting the mains
plug into the wall socket.
• While ironing
Caution: If heated-up, the steam tank will be
under pressure.
Only refill if the steam tank is empty (i.e.
when no more steam comes from the soleplate
during steam-ironing).

- Switch the steam tank off by setting switch (B)
to position O (fig. 4).
- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
- Carefully unscrew the cap of the steam tank
(anti-clockwise) until you can hear steam
escaping (fig. 5).
Wait for the hissing sound to stop.
This high-pitched sound is completely normal
and is not dangerous.
- Carefully unscrew the cap of the steam tank
further, until you hear the hissing sound again.
Wait again until the sound stops. Proceed in the
same manner until the cap is unscrewed.
- Wait for a few minutes. Then slowly pour
water into the filling opening (C) (fig. 2).
- Close the steam tank by turning the screw cap
manually (clockwise) until tight (fig. 3).
Steam-ironing
• As indicated on the temperature dial (G) and
the table, steam-ironing is only possible at
higher ironing temperatures, so set the dial to
2 or 3.
- Insert the mains plug into a wall socket.

- Set switch "On/Off" (B) to position |. The pilot
light in the switch (B) as well as pilot lights (F)
and (O) will come on (fig. 6).
- Select the required ironing temperature with the
temperature dial (G) (fig. 7).
- After a few minutes, pilot light (F) will go out.
This indicates that the soleplate has reached
the set temperature.
- When pilot light (O) goes out, this indicates that
the steam tank is heated up and that steam is
ready. You can now start steam ironing.
8
- To select the required steam output rotate the
steam control (H) clockwise (fig. 8). The further
the control is rotated clockwise, the more steam
is produced.
- While steam-ironing keep the steam activator
(E) pressed-in (fig. 9).
• During steam-ironing the two pilot lights (O) and
(F) will come on from time to time. When this
happens, either the iron or the steam tank is
being heated-up to the required temperature.
You can continue ironing.
"Shot-of-steam"
Applying "Shot-of-steam" (i.e. high steam
output coming from a limited number of holes in
the soleplate) can help remove stubborn
wrinkles over a large area.
- Always set the temperature dial (G) to the
steam range (2 or 3). Otherwise the
soleplate is not hot enough so that water may
drip from it.
