Preparing for use

Inserting and removing the cartridge

Inserting the cartridge

1 Remove the rubber seal from the cartridge

completely.

2 Insert the cartridge into the cartridge

compartment by pressing it firmly until you hear a click.

Make sure the compartment is dry before you insert the cartridge.

After you have inserted a new cartridge, some foam may come out of the spray nozzle during the first few seconds of spraying.

Removing the cartridge

◗ When the cartridge is empty, remove and

discard it and replace it with a new cartridge.

When the cartridge and/or the water tank is empty, you will hear a pumping sound and some foam will come out of the spray nozzle.This is a signal that the cartridge needs to be replaced and/or the water tank needs to be refilled.

If this happens, stop pressing the spray button immediately.

ENGLISH 9

1 Press and hold the cartridge release

button and pull the cartridge up to remove it.

Do not refill the cartridge with any other liquid.

Replacing the cartridge during ironing

The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may cause burns if touched.Therefore we advise you to unplug the appliance and to let it cool down before you replace the cartridge.

1 Put the iron horizontally on the iron

support or on a piece of cloth.

2 To replace the cartridge, follow the

instructions for removing and inserting the cartridge in the sections above.

Filling the water tank

Do not immerse the iron in water.

Do not pour water into the cartridge compartment.

1 Remove the mains plug from the wall

socket.

2 Set the steam control to position O (= no

steam).

3 Open the filling hole cover.

ENGLISH10

4 Use the filling jug to fill the water tank

with tap water up to the maximum level.

If the filling jug is full, there is enough water in it to fill the water tank twice.

Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication.

5 Close the filling hole cover properly.

Only use water to fill the water tank. Do not put vinegar, starch, ironing concentrate or chemically descaled water in the water tank.

After you have refilled the water tank, some foam may come out of the spray nozzle during the first few seconds of spraying.

If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an equal portion of distilled water, or to use distilled water only.

Setting the temperature

1 Set the temperature dial to the required

ironing temperature by turning it to the appropriate position.

Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature.

1 Silk, Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose,

polyamide, polyester)

2 Wool 3 Cotton, linen

ENGLISH 11

If you do not know what kind of fabric(s) a garment is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when the garment is worn.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.

2 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall

socket.

3 When the amber pilot light has first gone

out, wait a while before you start ironing.

The amber pilot light will go on from time to time during ironing.

Using the appliance

Steam ironing

◗ Make sure there is enough water in the water

tank for steam ironing. Put the iron on its heel and check if the water level is above the MIN level indication when you start steam ironing and during steam ironing.

◗ The steam function can be used at ironing

temperatures ranging from 2 to MAX.

This temperature range is also indicated on the temperature dial by means of steam clouds.

ENGLISH12

1 Set the temperature dial to the

recommended position.

See 'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature'.

2 Set the steam control to the steam

position:

- q: normal steam (temperature settings 2 to

MAX); When you put the iron down in horizontal position, always set the steam control to position O (= no steam).

◗ You can apply extra steam by pushing the

steam control to the following position:

- w: extra steam (temperature settings 3 to

MAX).

The steam control will return to the normal steam

setting when you release it.

Do not hold the steam control in the extra steam

position for more than 10 seconds at a time. Allow

at least a one-minute interval before using the

extra steam function again.

Ironing without steam

1 Set the steam control to position O (= no

steam).

2 Set the temperature dial to the

recommended position.

See 'Preparing for use', section 'Setting the temperature'.

ENGLISH 13

Spraying smoothing liquid

We strongly advise you to use the smoothing liquid during ironing to remove creases most effectively.

You will get the best results if you spray the

smoothing liquid onto the whole garment while

steam ironing.

1 Make sure the cartridge has been inserted

properly into the iron.

See 'Preparing for use', section 'Inserting and removing the cartridge'.

If you have just inserted a new cartridge, some

foam may come out of the spray nozzle during

the first few seconds of use.

2 Make sure there is enough smoothing

liquid in the cartridge and enough water in the water tank.

Because the smoothing liquid and water are mixed in the iron before spraying, the spray function only works when the iron contains sufficient amounts of water and smoothing liquid.

As the cartridge is transparent, it is very easy to

check how much smoothing liquid it still holds.

Put the iron on its heel and check if the water

level in the water tank is above the MIN level

indication.

◗ The smoothing liquid can be used at ironing

temperatures ranging from 1 (Silk) up to

MAX.

ENGLISH14

This temperature range is also indicated on the temperature dial as a blue area.

3 Press and hold the spray button to spray

continuously. Apply the spray generously and evenly onto the whole area to be ironed. Do not press and release the spray button in quick succession.

4 Iron the area you have just sprayed with

smoothing liquid.

Do not refill the cartridge with any other liquid.

Only use as the smoothing liquid as intended, i.e only use it on fabrics.

Avoid accidents: keep the car tridge out of the reach of children, do not spray directly at someone's face and flush the eyes with plenty of water if eye contact occurs.

Avoid spraying the smoothing liquid onto the floor. The floor could become slippery as a result.

Use the smoothing liquid generously on stubborn

creases, cotton and thick fabrics such as jeans.

The spray function does not work when the

cartridge is empty and/or the water tank is empty.

When the cartridge and/or the water tank is

empty, you will hear a pumping sound and some

foam will come out of the spray nozzle.

ENGLISH 15

The pumping sound and the foam tell you that the cartridge needs to be replaced and/or the water tank needs to be refilled.

It is better to prevent undiluted smoothing liquid

from getting into contact with fabrics.

Before spraying the smoothing liquid onto delicate

fabrics or fabrics on which water may cause stains

(silk, rayon), we advise you to try out the liquid by

spraying and ironing an area that will not be

visible when the garment is worn.

Other features

Drip-Stop function

◗ This iron is provided with a Drip-Stop

function: the iron automatically stops

producing steam when the temperature is too

low for steam ironing to prevent water from

dripping out of the soleplate.When this

happens, you may hear a sound.

Automatic Anti-Calc system

◗ The built-in Anti-Calc system reduces scale

build-up and prolongs the life of your iron.

Cleaning and maintenance

Calc-Clean function

The Calc-Clean function removes scale and impurities. Use the Calc-Clean function once

ENGLISH16

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

1 Set the steam control to position O.

2 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

Do not use vinegar or other descaling agents.

3 Set the temperature dial to MAX.

has gone out.

6 Leave the filling hole cover open.

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 will come out of the

soleplate, flushing out impurities and scale (if any).

8 Release the Calc-Clean button as soon as

all the water in the tank has been used up.

Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.

After Calc-Cleaning

- Plug in the iron to let the soleplate dry up.

- Unplug the iron when the amber pilot light has

gone out.

ENGLISH 17
