Setting the temperature

1Put the iron on its heel.

2To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial to the appropriate position (Fig. 5).

Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:

-1for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)

-1for silk

-2for wool

-3for cotton and linen

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that is not visible when you wear or use the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. To prevent stains, do not use the spray function. Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.

3Plug in the appliance. If the appliance has an earthed plug, put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

,The amber temperature light goes on (Fig. 6).

4When the temperature light goes out, wait a while before you start ironing.

Steam ironing

1Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.

2Set the recommended ironing temperature

(see chapter‘Preparing for use’,section ‘Setting the temperature’).

3Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam setting is suitable for the set ironing temperature: (Fig. 7)

-1 - 2 for moderate steam (temperature settings 2to 3)

-3 - 4 for maximum steam (temperature settings 3to MAX)

Note:The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it has reached the set temperature.

Note:If the selected ironing temperature is too low (MIN to 2),water may drip from the soleplate (see chapter‘Features’,section‘Drip stop’).

Ironing without steam

1Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam) (Fig. 3).

2Set the recommended ironing temperature

(see chapter‘Preparing for use’,section ‘Setting the temperature’).

2The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.

Calc-Clean function
