2. Filling the water tank

Set the steam regulator (A) to the “0” position (no steam) by

lining it up with the pointer (B) on the iron and unplug the iron

from the mains!

1. Place the iron at an angle of 45° with the point facing upwards.

2. Fill the water tank (E) via the water tank inlet (C) but never above the

“max” mark (F) using the beaker * (N).

Use only clean water from the tap and do not mix anything with it. The

addition of other liquids, such as perfume, will damage the appliance.

DO NOT use condensation water from tumble dryers, air conditioners

or similar appliances. This appliance has been designed to use normal

tap water.

To prolong the optimum steam function it is possible to 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.

You can inquire about the water hardness with your local water

supplier.

3. Setting the temperature

The temperature control (I) adjusts the temperature of the

soleplate (G).

1. Check the temperature instructions shown on the care label of the

garment you are ironing and set the temperature control (I) to the

corresponding position by lining it up with the temperature control

pointer (H) on the iron:

Fabric

Temperature Setting

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. For silk, woollen or synthetic materials iron the reverse side of the fabric

to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent

stains.

4. Sort your garments based on their care labels, always starting with

those that have to be ironed at the lowest temperature.

5. The pilot light on the top of the handle (K) will stay lit while the iron

is heating up and go out once the selected temperature has been

reached. Wait for a few seconds after the light goes out before you

start ironing. Once the iron is ready, you can continue to iron even if

the pilot lamp comes on again.

6. If your iron has auto shut-off and the pilot light is flashing, the auto-shut

off has activated. Gently move the iron from side to side to restart it.

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 (E).

2. Adjust the temperature control (I) and then set the steam regulator (A)

according to the table below by lining it up with the steam regulator

pointer (B). Steam will automatically be produced.

Temperature Setting

Steam Regulator Setting

••• to “max”

3. You can get extra steam by pressing and holding the steam regulator

(A) for a maximum of 2 seconds.

Note: At a temperature setting of “•”, the soleplate is not hot enough to

produce steam, so the steam regulator (A) should be set to the “0” position

to avoid water dripping from the soleplate (G).

5. Ironing with shot of steam

This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles or to press in a

sharp crease or pleat. It cannot be used on a synthetic setting

for delicate items.

1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (E).

2. Set the temperature control (I) to the “•••” or “max” position and the

steam regulator (A) to the “2” position.

3. Press the shot of steam button (L) 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 (E).

2. Set the temperature control (I) 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 garment

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 10 seconds to allow

for continued steam production.

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 (E).

3. When ironing, press the spray button (M) and water will spray out of

the spray outlet (D) 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. Hold the iron upside down over a sink and shake it gently until all the

water has come out from the water tank inlet (C).

4. Set the iron aside in a vertical position to cool down.

5. Coil the power cable (J) loosely around the heel of the iron before

storing.

6. Store the iron in an upright position.

10. Multiple de-scaling system

This range of irons is equipped with the following descaling

features “AntiCalc”.

A. self-clean.

Each time you use the steam regulator (A), the “self-clean” system cleans

the mechanism of any scale deposits.

B. calc’n clean.

The “calc’n clean” function helps to remove scale particles out of the

steam chamber. Use this function approximately every 2 weeks:

1. Fill the water tank (E) with water.

2. Set the temperature control (I) to the “•••” or “max” position and plug

in the iron.

3. After the necessary warm-up period, unplug the iron.

4. Hold the iron over a sink (the correct way up) and remove the steam

regulator (A) by turning it to the “calc” position while pressing it down,

then carefully taking out the spring wrapped around the needle.

5. Using one fully filled beaker * (approximately 150 ml) slowly pour water

into the steam regulator hole (see picture below).

6. Gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out of the

soleplate (G), carrying scale or deposits that might be there. When the

iron stops dripping, reassemble the steam regulator by reinserting it,

lining up the “calc” position with the pointer, pressing it in and turning

it to the “0” position.

7. If the steam regulator needle is soiled, remove any deposits from the

tip with vinegar and rinse it off with clean water.

C. anti-calc (model dependent).

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.

11. Anti-drip system "Drip Stop"

The 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 to prevent water from dripping out of the

soleplate.

You may hear a clicking sound when this system is in operation.

Using Your Iron

1. Your iron

Additional Features (Model Dependent)

Large filling inlet with lid

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 length of time will depend on the

position the iron has been left in:

Horizontally (flat) or on its side:

30 seconds

Vertically (upright):

8 minutes

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.

Tips to help you save energy

Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise the

energy used, follow the advice below:

• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing

temperature.

• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing temperature.

• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray function

instead.

• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam

setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather than the iron.

If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble

drier to the ‘iron dry’ programme.

• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator

completely.

• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally with the

steam regulator on generates wasted steam.
