Preparing for use

Filling the detachable water tank

Do not put hot water, perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents,
ironing aids or other chemicals in the water tank.

Fill the water tank before use and as soon as the ‘water tank empty’

light ashes.

1 Removethedetachablewatertankfromthesteamgeneratorandll

the water tank with tap water.

Note: Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live
in an area with very hard water, fast scale build-up may occur. In this case, it is
recommended to mix 50% distilled water and 50% tap water to prolong the
life of your appliance.

2 Slide the water tank back into the steam generator (‘click’).

’Water tank empty’ light

When the water tank is almost empty, the ‘water tank empty’ light goes on.
Fill the water tank and press the steam trigger to let the appliance heat up
again. When the ‘iron ready’ light lights up continuously, you can continue
steam ironing.

ENGLISH 7

Using the appliance

OptimalTemp technology

Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.

This steam generator is equipped with OptimalTemp technology,
which enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics without adjusting the
iron temperature or steam setting.

- Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton,
polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.

- Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic
fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and

polyolens (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on garments.

Ironing

1 Place the steam generator on a stable and even surface.
2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank

(see section ‘Filling the detachable water tank’).

3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/off

button to switch on the steam generator. The ‘iron ready’ light starts
toash,toindicatethatthesteamgeneratorisheatingup
(this takes approx. 2 minutes).

, When the ‘iron ready’ light lights up continuously, the steam

generator is ready for use.

4 Specictypesonly:Pressthecarrylockreleasebuttontounlockthe

iron from the iron platform.

ENGLISH8

5 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing. Keep the steam

trigger constantly pressed when you move the iron over the fabric.

Never direct steam at people.

Steam boost function

There are two steam boost functions for removing stubborn creases.

- Press the steam boost button for extra-strong steam output.

- Press the steam trigger twice quickly for a high continuous steam
output. You do not have to press the steam trigger continuously,
which gives a more comfortable ironing experience.

Vertical ironing

Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove creases
from a garment that someone is wearing. Do not apply steam near your
or someone else’s hand.

You can use the iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from hanging fabrics.

1 Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch

the garment lightly with the soleplate.

Putting down the iron during ironing

- During ironing, you can place the iron either on the iron platform
or horizontally on the ironing board. Thanks to the OptimalTemp
technology, the soleplate will not damage the ironing board cover.

ENGLISH 9

Energy saving

ECO mode

By using ECO mode (reduced amount of steam), you can save energy

without compromising on the ironing result.

1 To activate the ECO mode, press and hold the on/off button for

2 seconds. The light turns green.

2 To switch back to the ‘OptimalTemp’ setting, switch the steam

generator off and on again.

Safety Auto-off (specic types only)

The Safety Auto-off function automatically switches off the appliance if it
has not been used for 10 minutes, to save energy.

IMPORTANT - Cleaning and maintenance

IMPORTANT - Descaling the steam generator

To ensure a long life for your steam generator, it is very important that
you perform the descaling procedure when the EASY DE-CALC light

startstoash.

- The EASY DE-CALC light starts ashing after approx. one month or
10 ironing sessions to indicate that the steam generator needs to be
descaled. To descale the steam generator, perform the steps below.

Never remove the EASY DE-CALC knob when the steam generator is hot.

1 Press the on/off button to switch off the steam generator and

remove the plug from the wall socket.

2 Place the steam generator on a stable table with the EASY

DE-CALC knob sticking out beyond the edge of the table or take
the steam generator to a sink.

3 Hold a cup under the EASY DE-CALC knob. Turn the EASY

DE-CALC knob anti-clockwise and let the water with scale particles

owintothecup.Whennomorewatercomesoutofthesteam

generator, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob. Turn the knob
clockwise to fasten it and put the plug back into the socket again.

You can now use the steam generator again.

ENGLISH10

Cleaning the soleplate

Clean the soleplate regularly to remove stains from the soleplate.

- To maintain a good gliding of your soleplate, it is recommended to

clean it regularly (once every 2 months). You can do that by heating up

the iron and moving the soleplate over a moist cloth.

- Descaling the soleplate: if you do not descale your steam generator
regularly, scale may build up on the soleplate. You can remove scale by
following the instructions below:

1 Descale the steam generator before you clean the soleplate

(see section ‘IMPORTANT - Descaling the steam generator’).

2 Tilt the steam generator and pour 500ml distilled water into the

opening. Reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob
clockwise to fasten it.

3 Press the on/off button and wait for 5 minutes.

4 Put a piece of thick cloth on your ironing board. Place your iron on

the cloth, press and hold the steam trigger. While pressing the steam
trigger, slowly move the iron back and forth across the cloth until no
water comes out anymore or when steam comes out.

Hot, dirty water comes out of the soleplate.

5 Switch off the steam generator and let it cool down for 2 hours.
6 RemovetheEASYDE-CALCknobandletthewaterowintoacup.

Reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob clockwise to
fasten it.

7 Repeat steps 2 to 6 of this cleaning procedure.

1 Switch off the steam generator and unplug it.
2 Remove the water tank and empty it.
3 Puttheironontheironplatform.Specictypesonly:pushthecarry

not tightened properly.

Impurities or chemicals
present in the water have
deposited in the steam vents
and/or on the soleplate.

Too much scale and minerals
have accumulated inside the
steam generator.

The surface to be ironed was
uneven, for instance because
