SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Environment protection first !

i Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.

‹ Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.

BEFORE USE

Warning ! Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron.

Warning ! Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of Steam button a few times. During the first few uses, a harmless odor and a small amount of smoke may be given off. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

1 • What water may be used ?

Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check with your local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.

IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance : water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralized water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

IRONING BOARD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.

USE

2 • Filling the water tank

IMPORTANT Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron and set the steam control to dry position .

Tilt the iron. Open the filling inlet. Pour in

w ter upa to the max mark. Close the fil-

ling inlet and return the iron to the horizontal.

3 • Setting the temperature

Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the temperature control dial. Temperature control*: The temperature control light indi-

cates that the soleplate is heating up. When the temperature control light goes off , the set temperature is reached and you can begin ironing.

Ironing label	Fabric	Temperature control
	Synthetic fibres, e.g.	•
	viscose, polyester…
	Silk, wool	••
	Cotton, linen	•••

IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabric.

TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

5	* depending on model

1103908769 DW9150 US_110x154 27/07/11 15:41 Page6

4 • Dry ironing

Set the variable steam control to

and set the temperature to suit the type of material (care points •, ••, •••).

5 • Steam ironing

You can steam iron from temperature setting •• upwards. Steam function* : The steam level can be set between •

(minimum steam quantity) and (maximum steam quantity). We recommend setting to maximum steam quantity only when the iron is at temperature setting •••.

6 • Burst of steam (from temperature setting •• upwards)

Press the burst of steam button

to generate a powerful jet of steam. Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.

7 • Vertical burst of steam (from temperature setting •• upwards)

TIP Hold the iron 4 to 8 inches away from the garment to avoid burning delicate fabrics.

Hold the iron in the vertical position and press the burst of steam button to remove creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc.

IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals!

8 • Spray

Press the spray button to dampen difficult creases.

9 • Anti-Drip system*

This prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low to produce steam.

10 • Automatic electronic 3-position auto-off*

If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically switch off and the auto off light will blink after the following intervals:

-After 30 sec., if the iron is left resting on the soleplate or lying on its side.

-After 8 mins., if the iron is left resting on its heel.

To switch the iron back on, move the iron gently.

AFTER USE

11 • Emptying

Unplug the iron, pour away remaining water and set steam control to . Open and close the steam control several times to prevent the valve hole into the steam chamber from scaling or blocking up.

12 • Storing

Allow the appliance to cool down

before storing the iron standing on its heel .

IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate.

Never store your iron placed down on the soleplate.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and cleaning.

13 • Anti-scale system

Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced.

14 • Self Clean function (prolongs the life of the iron)

IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean the soleplate and other parts of the iron.

WARNING : Do not use descaling agents even if advertised for steam irons. They will permanently damage your iron.

The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber. Fill the water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark

and heat the iron to the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a

sink horizontally. Push the self clean button for 1 minute: steam will now

begin to build up. After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.

Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water has evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down. When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.

TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, clean the iron weekly.

15 • Cleaning the iron

When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as required. Remove the dirt from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge.

IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean soleplate and other parts of the iron. If the appliance has been standing unused for long periods, use the Self Clean function (see § 14).
