IRONING WITH THE PRESSURIZED STEAM IRONING STATION
Never point the steam directly toward persons, animals,
plants, electric household appliances or any type of electric
device.
Risk of extreme burns and scalding.
The pressurized steam ironing station may not be moved or
transported during the ironing process.
Always place the iron on the storage shelf for the iron [8].
The storage shelf for the iron [8] and the sole plate [12]
may reach extremely hot temperatures and can cause burns
in case of improper use. Never touch the sole plate when
removing the water tank.
Never leave the device unsupervised:
• whileitisconnectedtothepowernetwork
• ifitiswithinthereachofchildren.
Unplug the power plug [2] from the power outlet:

Always place the iron on the storage shelf [8] designed for
this purpose. Never touch the pressurized steam ironing
station or the power cord with wet or damp hands.
Never use the device in a bathroom.
Never submerge the device in water or other liquids.

for cleaning/descaling. If steam continues to escape after this
and while the device re-heats, shut the device off and contact
an authorized customer service centre.
Water might escape from the sole plate if the steam button
[11] is pushed before the water in the steam generator’s
water tank has reached the optimum temperature (approx.
7 minutes), meaning before the device has heated up.

Leifheit customer service or authorized staff with similar
qualifications in order to avoid any possible risks.
Please contact customer service in case of damages to the
steam hose on the iron.
Never perform any independent repairs.
The use of original Leifheit replacement parts is imperative
when replacing individual parts of the pressurized steam
ironing station.
If required, please contact an authorized customer service
centre and insist on original replacement parts. Any disregard
of the above points may interfere with the safety of the
device.
The device must be made unusable (e.g. by cutting off the
power cord and plug) prior to disposal.
1. Preparation
Place pressurized steam ironing station on a secure, level
surface in a sturdy position. Place the iron on the textured
silicone surface of the storage shelf [8].
The power plug [2] of the pressurized steam ironing station
may not be connected to the power network (pull plug
from outlet if necessary).
Remove label or protective sheet from sole plate [12] and
clean sole plate with a soft cloth.
During first use:
•whiteparticlesmayleakfromthesoleplate
•somesteammayescapefromtheiron
This is normal and will stop after a short time.
The steam generator [1] may produce a pumping noise
when the pressurized steam ironing station is switched on.
This is normal for technical reasons and will last only a
short while.
2. Filling with water (prior to first use)
First open the lock [15] of the water tank and remove the
water tank [13] from the steam generator.
Through the fill opening [14] fill the water tank to
maximum level (see MAX indicator on the chart) with
water. (Observe note for filling the pressurized steam
ironing station)!
Then insert water tank into the corresponding holder of the
pressurized steam ironing station. The water tank lock [15]
must lock audibly!
If the device is used for the first time or after descaling, it
will pump a larger amount of water from the removable
water tank into the steam generator. Therefore fill the tank
when required.
Notes for filling the pressurized steam ironing station:
It is possible to use cold or hot tap water.
To increase the service life of your pressurized steam
ironing station you should always also use distilled water.
When using distilled water it must be mixed with tap water
(ratio 1:1).
Do not add any descaling or chemical substances or ironing
water additives! This will damage the steam station and
the iron.
Hard water in particular will require the use of distilled
water. Your competent water supply company will inform
you of the hardness of your water.
Inspection of voltage
The device is set to the correct voltage by the manufacturer. Inspect whether your voltage complies with the
information on the data plate of the device.
3. Start-up operation
Insert power plug [2] of the pressurized steam ironing station
into a wall outlet.
Switch the pressurized steam ironing station and the iron on
by using the power switch ON/OFF [5].
Set temperature control [10] of the iron to the desired
temperature. When ironing with steam please ensure that the
temperature for the iron is not set below the mark .
Steam generator and iron will now heat up.
Theironwilltakeapprox.1minutetoheattolevel(••),the
steam generator approx. 2.5 minutes.
Please observe of the sewn-on care instructions of all textiles
to be ironed. Compare the care symbols on the label with the
information of the following table. (Page 33)
The indicator light “steaming” [6] will light up as soon as
the steam generator has reached maximum pressure; steam
ironing is now possible.
The desired temperature has been reached once the indicator
light [9] goes out and the iron is ready for operation.
The laundry may now be steamed by using the steam
button [11]. Release the steam button if steam is no longer
required. Lock the steam button for continuous steam by
pushing the button down while simultaneously pushing it
toward the front. The iron can generate steam in a horizontal
as well as vertical position and can therefore be used to
freshen hanging clothing or fabric.
The indicator light “steaming” [6] will turn on occasionally to
indicate temperature and steam operation. A clicking noise
from inside the steam generator is normal while the steam
valve opens and closes.
When using the iron for the first time, do not point the steam
toward the fabric to be ironed but rather on a cloth until
steam escapes constantly.
The water tank will be almost empty if the steam volume
diminishes while ironing.
Never use the steam button [11] to produce steam
while the iron is on the storage shelf [8].
ATTENTION: The steam generator is always under
pressure!
