Ironing with Steam
To steam iron, set the temperature sel-
ector (Figure 1/N) to the required
fabric type and wait until the power
indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out - only
then set the steam selector(Figure 1/F)
to position "1", "2", „3" or "4" (Figure
4/B). You will find which temperature
setting (fabric type) matches which
steam setting in the ironing table. As
soon as the steam iron is held horizon-
tally steam begins to form. When the
steam iron is set upright again the
steam supply stops automatically.
Spray Function (Figure 6/A)
The first time you use the appliance,
or if you have not used it for a long
time, you will need to press the spray
function button (Figure 1/G) several
times before water comes out of the
spray nozzle (Figure 1/D). You can also
use the spray function when dry iron-
ing.
Super Steam Jet Function
(Figure 6/B)
The super steam jet function is of
valuable assistance when ironing, for
example, creases, embroidery etc. You
can trigger the additional steam jet
both when steam ironing and when dry
ironing.

Care and Maintenance

Descaling
When using tap water for steaming,
limescale is deposited in the steam
chamber; heavy deposits reduce the
quantity of steam produced.
For descaling use lukewarm water and
vinegar essence – mixing ratio 1:1.
Pour the mixture into the appliance
when cold and disconnected from the
mains (Figure 3).
Proprietary brands of descaler are
too aggressive and must not be used!
0 Unplug from the mains.
0 Set the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to
position "0" (Figure 4/A).
0 Fill the water reservoir (Figure 1/O) to
the "MAX" mark.
0 Set the temperature selector
(Figure 1/N) to "max.".
0 Insert the plug into the socket.
0 Wait until the power indicator
(Figure 1/J) goes out.
