IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using
1. Only use an iron for its intended use.
2. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the
iron from the electrical outlet.
Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical
outlet; instead, grasp the plug
and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
4. Do not let the cord touch hot
surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron
away. Coil the cord loosely
around the iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect the iron
from the electrical outlet before
filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and
when the iron is not in use.
6. Do not operate the iron with a
damaged cord or in the event the
iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble the
iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might
result in a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used after reas-
sembly.
7. Close supervision is required
for any appliance used by or near
children. Do not leave the iron
unattended while the iron is
connected or on an ironing
board.
8. Burns can occur from touching
hot metal parts, hot water, or
steam. Use caution when you
turn a STEAM IRON upside down
– there might be hot water in the
reservoir.
9. In the event the malfunction indicator goes on, the iron is not
operating properly. Disconnect
the iron from the electrical outlet
and have the iron serviced by
qualified service personnel.
10. To avoid a circuit overload, do
not operate an iron on the same
circuit with another high wattage
appliance.
11. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an
ampere rating equal to or greater
than the maximum rating of the
iron shall be used. A cord rated
for less amperage can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock due to
overheating. Care shall be taken
to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.

17. The iron must not be left unattend while it is connected to supply mains.
18. Always disconect the iron from the electrical outlet, before you
leave the room.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Environment protection first !
i Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be
recovered or recycled.
‹ Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.
BEFORE USE
Warning ! Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron.
Warning ! Before using your iron with the steam function for the first
time, we recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for
a few moments, away from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of Steam
button a few times. During the first few uses, a harmless odor and a
small amount of smoke may be given off. This has no effect on the
use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
12. This appliance is not intended
for use by children and other persons whose physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the
appliance safely without supervision or instruction by a responsible person to ensure that they
can use the appliance safely.
13. Children should be supervised by the responsible person to
ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
14. the iron must be used and
rested on a stable surface;
15.when placing the iron on its
stand, ensure that the surface on
which the stand is placed is stable;
16. the iron is not to be used if it
has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is
leaking.

1 • What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check with your
l
ocal water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated tap
w
ater with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types
of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting,
brown staining or premature wear of the appliance : water from clothes dryers, scented or
softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralized water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered
or bottled water.
IRONING BOARD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be
used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.
USE
2 • Filling the water tank
IMPORTANT Before filling the water
tank, unplug the iron and set the steam
control to dry position .
Tilt the iron. Open the filling inlet. Pour in
w ater up to the max mark. Close the filling inlet and return the iron to the horizontal.
3 • Setting the temperature
Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using
the temperature control dial.
Temperature control*: The temperature control light indicates that the soleplate is heating up. When the temperature control light goes off , the set temperature is reached
and you can begin ironing.
IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that
you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabric.
TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

4 • Dry ironing
Set the variable steam control to
a
nd set the temperature to suit the type
o
f material (care points •, ••, •••).
5 • Steam ironing
You can steam iron from temperature setting •• upwards.
Steam function* : The steam level can be set between •
(minimum steam quantity) and (maximum steam quantity).
We recommend setting to maximum steam quantity only when
the iron is at temperature setting •••.
6 • Burst of steam
(from temperature setting •• upwards)
Press the burst of steam button
to generate a powerful jet of steam.
Wait a few seconds between each shot
before pressing the button again.
7 • Vertical burst of steam
(from temperature setting •• upwards)
TIP Hold the iron 4 to 8 inches away from the garment to avoid burning delicate fabrics.
Hold the iron in the vertical position and press the burst of steam button
to remove creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc.
IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals!
8 • Spray
Press the spray button
to dampen difficult creases.
9 • Anti-Drip system*
This prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low to produce
steam.
* depending on model

10 • Automatic electronic 3-position auto-off*
If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically switch off and the
a
uto off light will blink after the following intervals:
-
After 30 sec., if the iron is left resting on the soleplate or lying on its side.
- After 8 mins., if the iron is left resting on its heel.
To switch the iron back on, move the iron gently.
AFTER USE
11 • Emptying
Unplug the iron, pour away remaining
water and set steam control to .
Open and close the steam control several times to prevent the valve hole into
the steam chamber from scaling or
blocking up.
12 • Storing
Allow the appliance to cool down
before storing the iron standing on its heel .
IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate.
Never store your iron placed down on the soleplate.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and cleaning.
13 • Anti-scale system
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably prolongs
the operational life of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank
and does not need to be replaced.
14 • Self Clean function
(prolongs the life of the iron)
IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean the soleplate
and other parts of the iron.
WARNING : Do not use descaling agents even if advertised for steam irons. They will permanently damage your iron.
The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam
chamber. Fill the water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark
and heat the iron to the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a
sink horizontally. Push the self clean button for 1 minute: steam will now
begin to build up. After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate,
rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water
has evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down.
When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.
TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, clean the
iron weekly.
