3 To set the required ironing temperature,

turn the temperature dial to the appropriate position (see the ‘Temperature and steam settings’ table above).

Check the laundry care label for the fabric type. 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.

Steam ironing with extra steam

1 For extra steam during ironing, press and hold

the steam boost button.

Ironing with Ionic DeepSteam (specific types only)

When you use the Ionic DeepSteam function during steam ironing, the steam produced is finer than during regular steam ironing. Fine steam reaches deeper, especially into thick fabrics. This helps you to remove stubborn creases easily.

1 Make sure that there is water in the water

tank.

ENGLISH 13

switch off the Ionic DeepSteam function.

Note: The Ionic DeepSteam function is only effective when it is used in combination with a steam setting and a temperature setting between 2 and MAX.

Note: Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function when you iron without steam and/or at low temperature settings. However, ironing at low temperatures without steam with the Ionic DeepSteam function switched on will not damage the iron.

ENGLISH14

Note: The Ionic DeepSteam output may vary from time to time, depending on the ironing temperature.

Features

Spray function

You can use the spray function at any temperature to moisten the article to be ironed. This helps remove stubborn creases.

tank.

2 Press the spray button several times to

moisten the article to be ironed.

Steam boost function

A steam boost from the special Steam Tip soleplate helps remove stubborn creases. The steam boost enhances the distribution of steam into every par t of your garment. The steam boost function can only be used at temperature settings between 3 and MAX.

1 Press and release the steam boost button.

Vertical steam boost

1 You can also use the steam boost

function when you hold the iron in vertical position.

This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.

Never direct the steam at people.

ENGLISH 15

Drip stop

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically stops producing steam when the temperature is too low, to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate. When this happens, you may hear a sound.

Automatic shut-off function (specific types only)

The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it has not been moved for a while.

, The red auto-off light flashes to indicate that

the iron has been switched off by the automatic shut-off function.

To let the iron heat up again:

1 Pick up the iron or move it slightly.

, The red auto-off light goes out. , If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped

below the set ironing temperature, the amber temperature light goes on.

2 If the amber temperature light goes on after

you have moved the iron, wait for it to go out before you start ironing.

Note: If the amber temperature light does not go on after you move the iron, the soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready for use.

ENGLISH16

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

1 Set the steam control to position 0, remove

the plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down.

2 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the

soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.

To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.

3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp

cloth.

4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water.

Empty the water tank after you have rinsed it.

Double-Active Calc System

- The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. This tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.

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

Using the Calc-Clean function

Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.

1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.

2 Set the steam control to position 0.

3 Fill the water tank to the MAX level.

ENGLISH 17

Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

4 Set the temperature dial to MAX.

5 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.

6 Unplug the iron when the temperature

light goes out.

7 Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the

Calc-Clean button and gently shake the iron to and fro.

, Steam and boiling water come out of the

soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) are flushed out.

the water in the tank has been used up.

9 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still

contains a lot of impurities.

After the Calc-Clean process

1 Put the plug back into the wall socket and let

the iron heat up to let the soleplate dry.

2 Unplug the iron when it has reached the set

ironing temperature.

3 Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used

cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.

4 Let the iron cool down before you store it.

Do not use the heat-resistant protective cover during ironing.

1 Wind the mains cord around the cord storage

facility and fix it with the cord clip.

2 Put the iron on the heat-resistant protective

cover.
