Steam setting

- MAX: This setting gives out highest steam output to provide the best ironing results

on thicker garments.

- ECO: This steam setting enables you to save energy, reduce steam output and still

have sucient steam to iron your garments.

- Dry: This steam setting enables you to iron without steam or to stop steam when the

iron is not in use.

- Iron with extra steam: Press and hold the steam boost trigger to get more steam to

remove stubborn creases.

Steam boost function and vertical steaming

- Press and release the steam boost trigger for a powerful boost steam. This can be used to remove targeted stubborn creases or creases from a hanged garment.

Note: The steam boost function should only be used at temperature setting between

Hot steam comes out of the iron. Do not remove wrinkles from a garment while some one is wearing it. To prevent burns, do not direct the steam at people.

Safety auto-o (specic types only)

The safety auto-o function automatically switches o the iron if it has not been used for 30 seconds resting on its soleplate or 8 minutes resting on its backplate. The auto-o light will light up.

- To let the iron heat up again, pick up the iron or move it slightly. The auto-o light goes out.

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.

ENGLISH

Calc clean function

IMPORTANT: This iron comes with a Built-in calc container, which collects loose scale particles during ironing. The calc container is not meant for removal by the user. The scale particles are flushed out of the iron during calc clean process. Perform calc clean once every 1 month to maintain good steam performance and prolong the life of your iron. If water in your area is hard, or you see scales coming out from the soleplate during ironing, use calc clean more frequently.

1 Make sure the iron is unplugged and the steam slider is set to dry setting (Fig. 11). 2 Fill the water tank to the MAX indication (Fig. 12).

Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.

3 Plug in the iron and set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 13-14). 4 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out (Fig. 15-17). 5 Hold the iron over the sink. Keep pushing the calc clean button and gently shake the

iron forth and back until all water in the water tank has been used up (Fig. 18).

Scales is ushed out, steam and boiling water also come out of the soleplate.

Note: Repeat steps 2 to 5 if the water that comes out of the iron still contains scale particles.

6 Plug in the iron and let the iron heat up to dry the soleplate (Fig. 19). 7 Unplug the iron when the temperature indicator light goes out. 8 Move the iron gently over a piece of cloth to remove any water stains on the
