When you have finished
• Now you can start ironing. Always turn the temperature
control to "MIN" after use and remove the mains plug
(the control lamp in the handle goes off).
• Remove the mains plug from the socket. The tank illumi-
nation goes out.
• Empty the water tank.
• Allow the device to cool down before you put it away.
Anti-scale filter
Your steam iron station is fitted with an anti-scale filter. The
anti-scale filter cartridge becomes spent after filtering ap-
proximately 18 litres of water, depending on the hardness
of your water. It then loses its effectiveness and must be
replaced.
• Turn off the appliance.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains.
• Remove the water tank.
• Remove the anti-scale filter cartridge.
• Fill the tank up to the maximum mark. Do not overfill!
• Insert a new anti-scale filter cartridge.
• Before turning on the appliance, wait a few minutes until
the new filter cartridge is saturated with water.
NOTE:
If you do not have a new anti-scale filter cartridge, you can
still iron with the used cartridge and distilled water.
Cleaning
WARNING:
• Always remove the mains lead before cleaning!
• Wait until the machine has cooled down completely.
• Under no circumstances should you immerse the
device in water for cleaning purposes. Otherwise this
might result in an electric shock or fire.

• Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive items.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.

prolonged period.
