Allow the steam iron to cool down first and remove the power plug from the power socket. Danger of Electrocution! · The mains voltage at the mains socket must match that shown on the rating plate on the device. · If the connection lead or device does not work perfectly or is damaged, have it examined and repaired immediately at the service centre. · Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced as soon as possible by a qualified technician or by our Customer Service Department to avoid the risk of injury. · Only pull on the power plug and never on the cord. · Never bend (kink) or crush the power cord. Arrange it in such a way that it can not come into contact with hot surfaces and such that no-one can step on it or trip over it. · Always remove the power plug from the power socket after every use and when cleaning or filling. · Always unroll the power cord fully before switching on and do not use an extension cord. · Never touch the cord or the power plug with wet hands. · Under no circumstances should you submerge the steam iron in any liquid or let any liquid into the device casing of the steam iron. You should never expose the appliance to moisture or use the device outside. Should any liquid get into the appliance casing, remove the power plug immediately from the power socket and have the appliance repaired by qualified technicians. · Never use the steam iron near water in the bathtub, shower, wash basin or other vessels. Nearby water presents a danger, even when the appliance is switched off. · You may never open the steam iron casing. Have the defect steam iron repaired by qualified technicians. · Discontinue using the iron if it has fallen down, shows signs of visible damage or leaks water. Fire Hazard! · Never leave the steam iron unattended when it is hot or switched on. · Only ever store the steam iron away once it has cooled down. · Only ever iron with the temperature settings instructed by the care instructions for the material. You could otherwise cause damage to the material. If you do not know the care instructions, start with the lowest temperature setting. · Grasp the steam iron only by the handle when the iron is hot. · Never let children use the steam iron. · Place this iron only on a stable and heat resistant surface. · Use this iron only on a stable and heat resistant surface, for example, on an ironing board. -2- Important! · Should the care instructions for a clothing article not mention ironing, (Symbol ), you should not iron that clothing article. You could otherwise cause damage to the clothing article. · You may only fill the water reservoir with tap water. You will otherwise damage the steam iron. · You may not clean the steam iron with solvents, alcohol or abrasive cleaning agents. You could otherwise cause damages. · Heat the steam iron for several minutes on the highest setting. · Press the button a few times for the steam blast i. · Iron on a piece of scrap material to remove any possible unclean patches from the gliding sole r.

Otherwise, the jets for the steam blast function could calcify (become blocked) prematurely. To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix mains water with distilled water according to the table. Water hardness very soft / soft medium hard very hard Ratios - distilled water to mains water Important! Should the care instructions for an article of clothing not mention ironing, (Symbol ), you should not iron that clothing article. You could otherwise cause damage to the clothing article. · Check the care instructions on the labels of the clothing article whether and at which temperature the clothing article may be ironed.

Silk, wool, polyester blended fabrics Cotton, linen, viscose Plugging In and Ironing You can dry iron without steam at all temperatures. Steam ironing is first possible at level 2 (··), we however recommend level 3 (···) should be used for steam ironing, because at this level the temperature to generate steam is optimal. · Plug the power plug into a power socket of 220 - 230 V~/50 Hz. · Set the appropriate temperature setting with the temperature control a. The control light for the temperature w lights up. When the control light goes out, the chosen temperature w has been reached. · Wait until the temperature control light w goes out. · To moisten the material, press the button for the water fog o. This function is suitable for very dry, crumpled or creased materials. Steam Ironing · Set the steam control u to the desired steam strength setting. -4- Ironing with Steam Spray The steam spray is especially suited to smoothing places in the laundry that are difficult to access. · Raise the steam iron a little way. · Press the steam spray button to release the steam spray i. This prevents water dripping from the soleplate. You must then re-set a suitable temperature with the temperature controller a. As soon as this is reached, steam production is continued. Additionally, if you set the steam iron down or just let it cool off, the drip-stop function prevents water leakage from the soleplate r. Setting the Steam Iron Temporarily Aside Fire Hazard! Never leave the steam iron unattended when it is hot or switched on. · Set the temperature control a to the position "MIN". · Only put the steam iron down on its standing foot e, fig. 2. Cleaning Self-cleaning function · Fill the water container up to the marking MAX. · Insert the plug into the power socket. · Set the temperature regulator a to the position MAX. · Let the iron warm up till the control light w cuts off and lights up again. · Hold the iron horizontally over a trap vessel. · Set the steam regulator u to Self-Clean position and hold it in this position. Now steam and boiling water will start emerging from the steam escape holes at the gilding sole r. Any dirt, if present, will get washed out. · Release the steam regulator u as soon as the water in the water container is used up. · To ensure that no water remains in the steam chamber, dry the gilding sole r thoroughly. For this purpose, wipe the gilding sole r a few times on a towel or an old cloth. · Allow the iron to cool down before storing it away. Putting the Steam Iron Away After Use · Remove the power plug from the power socket. · Empty the water reservoir and clean the gliding sole r. · Place the cool steam iron horizontally on a soft, clean base. Drip-Stop Function With conventional steam irons it can happen that water drips from the iron sole r at too low ironing temperatures. This iron however possesses a new equipment characteristic, the Drip-Stop function: At low temperatures the iron automatically switches off the supply of water for generating steam (for steam blast and steam ironing). When this happens, a "CLICK" is to be heard. -5- Note: The effect of the self-cleaning function can diminish after extended usage of the iron. We therefore recommend the addition of decalcification agent into the water tank. Casing Disposal Do not dispose of the appliance in your normal domestic waste.
