2. Filling the water tank
Set the steam regulator to the "0"position and unplug
the iron from the mains!
Use only clean water from the tap without mixing anything with
it. The addition of other liquids, such as perfume, will damage
the appliance.
Do not use condensation water from tumble dryers, air
conditionings or similar. This appliance has been designed to use
normal tap water.
To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap water with distilled
water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is very hard, mix tap
water with distilled water 1:2.
mark.
Never fill beyond the "max." water level
7. Ironing without steam
This function enables the iron to be used for dry ironing.
1. Set the steam regulator (A) to the "0" position.
2. Select an appropriate temperature for the type of material being
ironed.
8. Spray
This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles.
1. Do not use the spray function with silk as staining may occur.
2. Make sure that there is water in the tank (D).
3. When ironing, press the spray button (M) and water will spray
out of the spray outlet (C) onto the garment.
9. After finishing each ironing session
1. Unplug the iron from the mains socket.
2. Set the steam regulator (A) to the "0" position.
3. Slide open the water tank cover (B).
4. Hold the iron with the point facing down and shake it gently
until all the water has come out.
5. Set the iron aside in a vertical position to cool down.
6. Coil the power cable (J) loosely around the heel of the iron,
before storing.
7. Store the iron in an upright position.
3. Setting the temperature
The temperature control (H) adjusts the temperature of the
soleplate (E).
1. Check the temperature instructions shown on the care label of
�� �����������
the garment you are ironing and set the temperature control
(H) to the corresponding position by lining it up with the pointer
(G) on the iron:
��������������
Fabric
Synthetics
Silk - Wool
Cotton - Linen

2. If you are unsure what type of material the garment is made from,
start ironing on the lowest temperature setting and increase
accordingly. If the garment is made from mixed fabrics, set the
temperature for the most delicate material.
3. Sort your garments based on their care labels, always
starting with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest
temperature.
4. The pilot lamp (I) will stay lit while the iron is heating up and go
out once the selected temperature has been reached. Wait a
few seconds after the lamp goes out before you start ironing.
Once the iron is ready, you can continue to iron even if the pilot
lamp comes on again.
5. If your iron has a lamp on the top of the handle (K) and it is
flashing, the auto shut-off has activated. Gently move the iron
side to side to restart it.
Additional Features (Model Dependent)
Anti-drip system ("drip stop")
Some irons in this range are equipped with an anti-drip system.
This will automatically stop the iron producing steam when the
selected temperature setting is too low. You may hear a clicking
sound when this system is in operation.
Textile protection air system ("air system")
All of the irons in this range are equipped with this feature. An
air chamber between the heating element and soleplate ensures
even distribution of heat and will banish soleplate hot-spots that
can ruin delicate materials.
Auto shut-off ("secure")
Some irons in this range are equipped with an auto-shut off
system.
The "secure" auto shut-off function switches off the iron
automatically when it is not being used, thus helping to prevent
accidents and saving energy. When the appliance is first plugged
in, this function will be inactive for the first 2 minutes to allow it to
reach the set temperature.
If during ironing, the iron is not moved for a certain length of time,
the iron will automatically switch off. The lenght of time will depend
on the position the iron has been left in:
Horizontally (flat) or on its side:
Vertically (upright):
The pilot light on the top of the handle (K) will flash when auto
shut-off has been activated. To switch the iron back on, move it
gently from side to side. The light will stop flashing.
4. Ironing with steam
The steam regulator (A) is used to adjust the amount of
steam produced when ironing.
1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (D).
2. Adjust the temperature setting and then set the steam regulator
according to the table below. Steam will automatically be
produced:
Temperature Setting
•
••
•••
Note: At a temperature setting of "•", the water is not hot enough
to produce steam so the steam regulator should be set to the "0"
position to avoid water dripping from the soleplate (E).
5. Ironing with shot of steam
This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles or to press
in a sharp crease. It cannot be used on a synthetic setting
for delicate items.
1. Set the temperature control (H) to the "•••" or "max"
position.
2. Set the steam regulator (A) to the "2" position.
3. Press the jet of steam (L) button on the handle repeatedly at
intervals of 5 seconds.
6. Vertical steaming with shot of steam
This can be used to remove creases from hanging clothes,
curtains etc. It cannot be used on a synthetic setting for
delicate items.
WARNING! Do not vertical steam while the item is being worn.
Never spray or aim steam at people or animals!
1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (F).
2. Set te temperature control (H) to the "···" or „max" position and
the steam regulator (A) to the "2" position.
3. Hold the iron in an upright position about 15 cm away from the
garemtne being steamed.
4. Press the shot of steam button (L) on the handle at intervals of
5 seconds, however, after 4 jets of steam, wait for 10seconds
to allow for continued steam production.
Multiple de-scaling system
This range of irons is equipped with de-scaling features.
These features are model dependent.
A. self-clean (models "1AntiCalc" and "2AntiCalc")
Each time you use the steam regulator (A), the "self-clean" system
cleans the mechanism of any scale deposits.
B. anti-calc (model "2AntiCalc" only)
The anti-calc cartridge has been designed to reduce the build-
up of scale produced during steam ironing, helping to extend
the useful life of your iron. Nevertheless, the "anti-calc" cartridge
cannot remove all of the scale that is produced naturally over
time.
For improved de-scaling, heat up the iron again fully and press
the shot of steam button several times in quick succession. Then
wait until the remaining water has evaporated from the soleplate
of the iron.
Spotlight ("spotlight")
Some irons in this range are equipped with a spotlight. This is
useful for dim lighting conditions and makes it easier to see the
creases in garments.
Fabric protection soleplate cover ("protect")
The fabric protector is used for steam-ironing delicate garments
at maximum temperature without damaging them. Use of the
protector also does away with the need for a cloth to prevent
30 seconds
shine on dark materials.
8 minutes
It is advisable to first iron a small section on the inside of the
garment to see if it is suitable.
To attach the fabric protection soleplate cover to the iron, place
the tip of the iron into the end of the fabric protector and press
the rear of the protector upward until you hear a click. To release
the fabric protector, pull down on the clip at the rear and remove
the iron.
