Using your appliance

Filling the water tank

Fill the water tank before every use and when the ‘water tank empty’ light ashes.

Do not add perfume, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.

1 Remove the water tank from the appliance and ll it with

tap water up to the MAX indication.

Tip: Your appliance has been designed for use with tap water. If you live in an area with very hard water, scale builds up quickly. In this case it is recommended to use distilled water to prolong the life of your appliance.

2 Put the water tank back into the appliance by sliding in the

bottom part rst. Then push the top part until it locks into place.

‘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.

OptimalTEMP technology

The OptimalTEMP technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron temperature 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.

ENGLISH

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.

Ironing

Note: For best result on tough fabrics such as cotton, linen and jeans, keep the steam trigger pressed continuously when you move the iron over the fabric. Then move the iron over the same area a few more times without steam to dry the fabric.

Note: For the best results on silk and shiny synthetic fabrics, it is recommended to keep the steam trigger pressed continuously while ironing.

ENGLISH

sensor and intelligent automatic steam mode

The intelligent sensor inside your iron knows exactly when and how your iron is moving. When you activate intelligent automatic steam mode, the sensor will start recognizing the movements of your iron and will enable your iron to release the right amount of steam automatically without you having to press the steam trigger. This will help you to get great results faster and easier.

- To activate the intelligent automatic steam mode, press the intelligent automatic steam button on top of the iron handle. The intelligent automatic steam light turns on.

- The ‘iron ready’ light moves back and forth when the iron is moving.

Note: in intelligent automatic steam mode, steam comes out automatically when you move the iron and stops when you stop moving the iron. You can still press the steam trigger in this mode to activate the steam when the iron is not moving.

Ironing tips

Minimising wrinkles while drying

Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out your laundry properly after washing and by putting garments on hangers to make them dry naturally with fewer wrinkles.

Best practice shirt ironing

Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cu links and sleeves. Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back to prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming parts. Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a more crisp nish. Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more eective and faster ironing.

Cleaning and maintenance

To properly maintain your appliance, clean the iron and the appliance regularly.

1 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth. To remove

stubborn stains, you can use a small amount of washingup liquid.

2 To easily and eectively remove stains from the soleplate,

switch on the appliance and let it heat up. When the appliance has heated up, move the iron over a moist cloth while you press the steam trigger.

Tip: Clean the soleplate regularly to ensure smooth gliding.

ENGLISH

IMPORTANT - EASY DE-CALC

It is very important to use the EASY DE-CALC function as soon as the EASY DE-CALC light starts to ash and the appliance beeps continuously.

The EASY DE-CALC light ashes and the appliance beeps continuously after about a month or 10 ironing sessions to indicate that the appliance needs to be descaled. Perform the following EASY DE-CALC procedure before you continue ironing.

To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two hours before you perform the EASY DECALC procedure.

1 Remove the plug from the wall socket.

2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.

3 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the

EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise.

4 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with

scale particles ow into the cup.

5 When no more water comes out of the appliance, reinsert

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

6 You can continue using your iron immediately after

completing the EASY DE-CALC procedure.

ENGLISH

IMPORTANT – Descaling the soleplate

If you do not use the EASY DE-CALC function regularly, scale particles may build up in the soleplate and brown stains may come out of the soleplate during ironing. In this situation, you need to descale the soleplate by following the procedure below. We advice you to repeat the procedure twice to better clean the soleplate.

To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two hours before you descale the soleplate.

1 Remove the plug from the wall socket. 2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop. 3 Make sure that the water tank is empty.

4 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the

EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise.
