Filling with water
Fill the water reservoir before using the
steam function or the spray nozzle.
Remove the plug from the wall socket
before filling the reservoir.
- This steam iron is to a large extent
resistant to hard water (up to 15º dH).
Although normal tap water may be used,
it is advisable to use distilled,
demineralised or decalcified water.
Should you be unsure about the hardness
of the water in your area, please enquire
of the relevant local authority
department.
●
To prevent water from dripping from the
sole plate, ensure that the steam control
button is closed. It should be opened only
once the temperature level required for
steam ironing (as indicated on the
temperature control knob) has been
reached.
- Open the cover of the water fill hole.
- Fill the empty water reservoir using the
measuring cup provided. Fill the
reservoir to the indicated "Max" level
only.
- Close the water fill hole.

(low temperature)
••
silk and wool
(medium temperature)
•••
cotton and linen
(high temperature)
- These markings can also be found on the

●
Laundry to be ironed should be sorted
according to the fabric ironing
temperature. Follow the ironing symbols
and start with the lowest temperature.
●
When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or
if you are not sure about the fabrics, you
may carefully test-iron at a non-visible
point, e.g. inside of seam. Start with the
lowest temperature.
●
If the laundry is being dried in a dryer
before ironing, the temperature should
be adjusted to "iron dry". Very dry
fabrics are difficult to iron.
Start up
Clean the steam iron before using for the
first time, according to the instructions given
in the paragraph "General Care and
Cleaning". This will result in the removal of
possible dust particles from the soleplate and
subsequently lessen the smell typically
encountered when first switching on.
Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
