Steam Iron
Basic Safety Instructions
Risk of Burning!
• Grasp the steam iron only by the handle when the iron is hot.
• Keep the steam iron out of reach of children. Never let children use the steam iron.
• Never hold your hand over the steam spray or on hot metal parts.
• You may not open the filler opening of the water reservoir while the iron is in use. Allow the steam iron to cool down first and remove the power plug from the power socket.
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.
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.

KH 1281
• 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.
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.
Proper use
The steam iron is strictly intended for ironing clothes. You may only use the iron in a closed room and in the private household. All other use is deemed im­proper use.
Before the First Use
• Remove the steam iron from the packaging.
• Remove all stickers and films from the steam iron and the gliding sole .
• Plastic bags can present a danger. To avoid any danger of suffocation, keep this bag away from babies and children.
• Plug the power plug into a power socket of 230 V~/50 Hz.
• Hold the steam iron horizontally.
• Set the temperature control to the position "MAX“.
• Heat the steam iron for several minutes on the highest setting.
• Iron on a piece of scrap material to remove any possible unclean patches from the gliding sole.

Operation
Filling with Tap Water
• When it is cool, place the steam iron in a horizontal position on its gliding sole .
• Open the filler opening for the water reservoir .
• Fill the reservoir with tap water using the measuring cup , at most to the "MAX" marking.
• Close the water reservoir filler ope­ning , making sure it "clicks" shut.
Plugging In and Ironing
Dry ironing without steam is possible at all temperatures, steam ironing is only possible from setting 2 (••).
• Plug the power plug into a power socket of 230 V~/50 Hz.
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.
The control light for the temperature lights up. When the control light goes out, the chosen temperature has been reached.
• Wait until the temperature control light goes out.
• To moisten the material, press the button for the water fog .
This function is suitable for very dry, crumpled or creased materials.
Steam Ironing
• Set the steam control to the desired steam strength setting.
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 .
• Check the care instructions on the labels of the clothing article whether and at which temperature the clo­thing article may be ironed.
• Set the appropriate temperature set­ting with the temperature control .
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 to the position "MIN“.
• Only put the steam iron down on its standing foot , fig. 2.

KH 1281
Putting the Steam Iron Away After Use
• Remove the power plug from the power socket.
• Empty the water reservoir and clean the gliding sole .
• Place the cool steam iron horizontally on a soft, clean base.
Drip-Stop Function
In conventional steam irons, it is possible that at too low ironing temperature wa­ter begins to trickle from the base of the iron. However, this iron possesses a new technical feature, namely the DRIP-STOP function, to switch off steam. The iron automatically switches off the steam ejection at low temperatures. A “CLICK” noise is heard when this happens. Using the temperature rotary controller , set the required temperature. Steam generation will continue as soon as this temperature level is reached.
Cleaning
Self-cleaning function
• Fill the water container up to the marking MAX.
• Insert the plug into the power socket.
• Set the temperature regulator to the position MAX.
• Let the iron warm up till the control light cuts off and lights up again.
• Hold the iron horizontally over a trap vessel.
• Set the steam regulator to Self­Clean position and hold it in this posi­tion. Now steam and boiling water will start emerging from the steam escape holes at the base of the iron. Any dirt, if present, will get washed out.
• Release the steam regulator as soon as the water in the water container is used up.
• To ensure that no water remains in the steam chamber, dry the base of the iron thoroughly. For this purpose, wipe the base of the iron a few times on a towel or an old cloth.
• Allow the iron to cool down before storing it away.
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
• Clean the casing only with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not use aggressive or chemical cleaning agents.
Metal Parts
• Clean the metal parts with a cloth slightly moistened with water and a mild, non-foaming cleaning agent.
Troubleshooting
The steam iron puts out only little or no steam
The water reservoir in the steam iron is empty. Fill the water reservoir with tap water (see "Filling with Tap Water“).
