This iron is designed to be used with tap
water. If you have extremely hard water we
recommend using a mixture of 50% tap
water and 50% distilled water. Fill the water
tank to the «max» marking. Never use
distilled water exclusively. Do not add any

least 5 seconds.
Power shot (5) can be activated when dry
ironing (see point 4 below). However,
the temperature selector (6) must be set in
the range between «•••» and «max». The
power shot function can also be used in
the vertical position for steaming hanging
garments or curtains.

5 Automatic Shut-Off
(available on models SI 6285, SI 6245 and
SI 6225)
Important: the auto shut-off feature is
mercury-free. The auto shut-off mecha-
nism causes a slight rattling noise during
ironing. This is normal and in no case
indicates a fault of the iron. The «auto-off»
pilot light (7) will flash when the automatic
shut-off is activated. This happens when
the iron has rested:
– horizontally on the soleplate for about
25 seconds or
– vertically on the heel rest (8) for about
12.5 minutes or
– when the iron has been lying on its side
for about 25 seconds.
Subject to change without notice.
To turn on the iron again, just move it.
When the «auto-off» pilot light (7) stops
flashing the electrical power is on again.

Unplug the iron and press the steam on/off
button (3) down so that it catches in the
lowered position (steam off).
To prolong the life of the iron empty the
water tank after each use.
Always allow the iron to cool down before
storing it in the upright position in a dry
place.
To clean the soleplate use steel wool.
Then wipe the soleplate clean with a cloth.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other
chemicals. To clean the soft material on
the handle and the knobs, wipe with
soapy water.
The iron's «anti-calc» valve is a long wand
that is located beneath the steam button

regularly (e.g., when the steam develop-
ment is insufficient).
