Risk of Burns!
•Always hold the steam iron by the handle when it is hot.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
•Never hold your hand over the steam spray or touch hot metal parts.
•The filler opening of the water reservoir must not be opened while the iron is in
use. First allow the steam iron to cool down and remove the plug from the power socket.
•The iron and its connecting cable must be kept out of the reach of children
younger than 8 years old when it is switched on or cooling down.
Risk of Injury! Risk of fire!
•Never leave a steam iron that is hot, switched on or connected to the mains power supply unattended.
•Do not put the steam iron into storage until it has cooled down completely.
•This steam iron must be used and placed on a stable surface.
•When ironing, only use the temperatures detailed in the garment care instructions, or those suitable for the material. Otherwise, you could damage the textiles. Should care instructions not be given or known, start with the lowest temperature setting.
•Always put the iron on a level, heat-resistant surface.
The iron must be in a stable position.
•Should you wish to put the steam iron down, always put it on the appliance
base.
Risk of electric shock!
• The rating of the local power supply must correspond with the details given on
the rating plate of the appliance.
•To avoid potential risks, arrange for defective appliances to be checked and
possibly repaired by a qualified specialist workshop, or contact our Customer
Service Department.
•Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced immediately
by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.
•To disconnect from the power source, only pull the plug itself, not the cable.

filling with tap water.
•Always unwind the power cable fully before switching on, and do not use an
extension cable.

•Under no circumstances should you submerge the steam iron in liquid or permit
liquids to penetrate the casing of the steam iron. Do not expose the appliance
to humidity and do not use outdoors. Should liquids enter the casing, unplug the
appliance from the socket immediately and arrange for it to be repaired by a
qualified technician.

distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the steam
blast function could calcify (become blocked) prematurely.
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix tap
water with distilled water as follows.

Cleaning
Drip-stop function
With conventional steam irons it can occur that water
drips from the ironing sole q at low temperatures.
However, this iron possesses a new equipment characteristic, the DRIP-STOP function. At low temperatures the iron automatically switches off the steamblast function. When this happens, a "CLICK" is
heard. You must then select a suitable temperature
using the thermostat 8. As soon as this is reached,
steam production continues.
Automatic switch-off
The iron is equipped with an automatic switch-off.
This stops the iron from heating up.
If the iron is standing on its ironing sole q and has
not been moved for approx. 30 seconds, acoustic
warning signals are heard and the automatic switchoff indicator lamp 6 flashes. The iron will no longer
be heated. To deactivate the automatic switch-off,
pick up the iron and move it around a little. The
automatic switch-off indicator lamp 6 will go off
and the iron will heat up again.
Self-cleaning function
• Fill the water tank to the "MAX" marking.
• Insert the plug into a wall socket.
• Move the thermostat 8 to the "MAX" position.

again glows.
• Hold the steam iron horizontally over a catchment
receptacle.
• Press and hold down the self-clean button w.
Move the steam iron back and forth a little.
Steam and boiling water flows from the steam
exit holes in the ironing sole q.

of the water has exited.
• Thoroughly dry the ironing sole q. For this, slide
the ironing sole q back and forth over a hand
towel or an old piece of material several times.
• Allow the steam iron to cool down before placing
it in storage.
If the iron is standing on its base 0 and has not
been moved for approx. 8 minutes, acoustic warning
signals are heard and the automatic switch-off indicator lamp 6 flashes. The iron is no longer heated.
To deactivate the automatic switch-off, pick up the
iron and move it around a little. The automatic
switch-off indicator lamp 6 will go off and the iron
