Filling the water tank

• Make sure that the appliance is switched off and the system is unplugged.
• Remove the water tank (8a) or open the water tank (8b).
• Fill the water tank with tap water, taking care not to exceed the "max" level.
• If you have extremely hard water, we recommend that you use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water. Never use distilled water exclusively. Do not add any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use condensation water from a tumble dryer.
• Insert the water tank (8a) or close the water tank opening (8b).
• Place the appliance on a stable, level surface (like a table or the floor).

Note:
If you use filtering devices, make absolutely sure the water obtained is neutral ph.

Water tank empty LED

• When the water tank is empty the LED (3) is continuously on.
• If you want to continue steam ironing, refill the water tank (A).
• Press the reset button (4).

Start ironing

• Place the iron on the iron rest (7) or on its heel rest (18), plug in the appliance and press the On/ Off button(1).
• The iron will start to heat up: While this is happening, the temperature control light (17) is continuously on and the On/Off LED(2) is flashing.
• Once the desired temperature is reached the temperature control light turns off and the On/Off LED (2) is continuously on.
• Set the desired temperature with the temperature selector (15). Temperature level 1 (•) is suitable for synthetics, temperature level 2 (••) for wool, silk, polyester and temperature level 3 (•••) for cotton and linen. During use, the temperature control light turns on from time to time indicatating that the iron is heating up.
• For steam ironing, set the temperature between temperature level 2 (••) and "max" on the temperature selector and press the steam button (14) or the precision shot button (16). You can adjust the steam quantity by turning the steam regulator (6). We recommend a medium steam setting for all delicate and synthetic garments. When ironing linen, cotton or similar fabrics we recommend the maximum steam setting.
• Dry ironing: Do not press the steam button (14) or the precision shot button (16).
• Double trigger: Press the steam button (14) or the precision shot button (16) twice in quick succession within 1 second. There will be a continuous steam emission for a few seconds. Press the steam button (14) or the precision shot button (16) once again to stop the function.
• Vertical steam: The iron can also be used for steaming hanging clothes (B).
• The unique round shape of theeloxal 3D soleplate ensures best gliding results on difficult parts (e.g. buttons, pockets, etc.).

Precision shot

• Press the precision shot button (16) completely down.
• Steam will come out of the tip area of the soleplate only.
• If you do not press it down completely, some steam may also come out from the rear steam holes in the soleplate.

Boiler Sleep Mode

In the sleep mode the temperature of the boiler goes down in order to reduce power consumption. Please note, that the temperature of the iron remains unchanged.

• It is activated if there has been no steam emission for 10 minutes.
• To restart steam ironing either the steam button (14), the reset button (4) or the precision shot button (16) has to be pressed.

After ironing

• Press the On/Off button (1) to turn off the appliance.
• Unplug and let the appliance cool down before storing.
• Empty the water tank.
• For models with lock system (12), lock the iron (F).

Lock system

The lock system can be used for a safe and easy storage of the appliance.
Do not lift or carry the appliance on the handle of the locked iron.

• Place the soleplate into the recess on the iron rest.
• To lock the iron push the slider (12) toward the iron.
• To unlock the iron push down the button on the slider (12). The iron will be released.

Descaling

To maintain optimum performance, the system needs to be decalcified after every 15 litres of water consumption (about 8 complete refills). The LED (5) is flashing.

• First, switch off and unplug the appliance. Wait until the appliance has cooled down (minimum 2.5 hours).
• Empty the water tank (E).
• Remove the iron from the iron rest (if applicable unlock the iron).
• Remove the transparent cover (9) and unscrew the cleaning valve (11).
• Empty the boiler.
• Pour in 500 ml tap water only. Do not use any chemicals, additives or calc remover.
• Screw the cleaning valve (11) to close the boiler.
• Shake the base unit to rinse, then empty the boiler.
• Repeat this procedure one more time.
• After having finished the descaling procedure, plug in, switch on (1) and press the reset button (4) for 5 seconds until the LED (5) turns off.

If the appliance is switched off without descaling, the LED (5) will start to flash again when it is next switched on. .

Cleaning and maintenance

• Before cleaning, always make sure that the appliance is switched off, unplugged and has cooled down completely.
• Wipe the soleplate clean with a damp or dry cloth. Never use scouring pads, vinegar or other chemicals.
• To clean the soft material on the handle use a damp cloth.
