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.

Environment protection first !
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.
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.

WHAT WATER MAY BE USED ?
• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check with
your local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated
tap water 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
1 • Filling the water tank
IMPORTANT Before filling the
water tank, unplug the iron
• Tilt the iron. Open the filling
inlet. Pour in water up to the
max mark. Close the filling
inlet and return the iron to the
horizontal.
2 • Setting the temperature
• Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam function, it automatically
adjusts the steam amount and the temperature based on the selected
fabric for optimum results.
• Select the fabric to be ironed on the temperature control dial. For
perfect results, an optimum position for each fabric has been pre defined. This position is marked on the dial and also represented with a
louder “click” sound. You can also set your iron based on the international temperature measurements •, ••, •••. Ensure your temperature
control dial is positioned on these settings.
• When your iron reaches the required temperature, the thermostat indicator turns off.
• You can start 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.
3 • Dry ironing
• Set the temperature to suit the type of material without pushing the autosteam trigger or
burst of steam button.
4 • Steam ironing (Autosteam & Steamforce)
• Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam function.
The steam quantity and the temperature will adjust automatically to
the selected fabric.
To get continuous steam push the autosteam trigger.
Your iron is equipped with a pump called Steamforce Technology
which pushes 30 % more steam into the heart of the fibres. The
pump may make a slight noise.
• This is not a technical fault! A few seconds are required to produce
or to stop the steam.
5 • Burst of steam
• Press the burst of steam button
to generate a powerful burst of steam.

• Hold the iron vertically 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!
TIP Hold the iron 4 to 8 inches away from the garment to avoid burning delicate fabrics.
7 • Spray
• Press the spray button to dampen fabrics
and iron out tough creases.
8 • Anti-Drip system
• This prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low.
9 • Automatic electronic 3-position auto-off*
• If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically
switch off and the auto 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
10 • Emptying
• Unplug the iron, pour away remaining water.
.
11 • 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.
12 • 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.
13 • Self Clean (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 power outlet 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.
14 • Cleaning the iron
• When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as required.
• Remove the dirt from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge.
IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean soleplate
and other parts of the iron. If the appliance has been standing unused for long periods, use
the Self Clean function (see § 14).
