Notes on ironing
V
During ironing, water can be topped up as follows:
1. Warning light of the low water indicator [11]
lights up and an acoustic signal sounds!
2. Turn the steam off by pressing the steam button
[17] and place the iron in the placement area.
The complete system must not be turned off.
3. Remove the water container, fill with fresh water
and reinsert. (see information about filling the
steam system)
As soon as the warning light turns off [11], the
complete steam iron system is ready to use again.
The complete steam iron system is intended for
ironing with steam.
It is also suitable for dry ironing.
(ironing without steam)
The steam button is not used for this.
Ensure that the iron temperature regulator is always
set to the right temperature for the steam iron.
When the steam iron is used for the first time, there
may be a slight smell of burning and some smoke,
which are quite normal. This is caused by adjustments
of densities and the material to the temperature.
Therefore test the iron on a piece of cloth before
ironing your fabric.
Please follow the recommendations and instructions
for the best possible performance of the
• steam extraction and
• expansion functions under ironing tips on page 20!

Ironing instructions

• During ironing, water droplets may escape along
with the steam if the right temperature has not yet
been reached or there was condensation water in
the feed cable.
• To achieve a good ironing result, we recommend
pressing the steam pressure button [17] at regular
intervals to steam and dry the ironed item.
• Open the fabric with steam and fix it without steam.
• The warning light for steam availability [12] will
turn off during ironing with steam and will light up
during work breaks.
• When ironing with steam, do not set the tempe-
rature regulator [16] of the steam iron under the
marking as otherwise, water may escape from
the iron sole.
Caution: This continuous use in this mode
may damage to the iron sole.
• All common textiles can be steam-ironed.
• Make sure that the set temperature of the iron does
not fall below the marker while ironing with
steam. Protect delicate textiles by covering them
with a Leifheit ironing cloth (72415), for example.
• When ironing delicate materials or in cases of
doubt, test the ironing result beforehand in an
unnoticeable location.
• When ironing without steam (steam button [17] not
on) ensure that the temperature regulator [16]
of the steam iron is placed on the laundry item to be
ironed.
Note: If the temperature is too low, water may
escape from the iron sole.
• Iron the seams, folds of fabric and folds first.
• Do not iron any plastic-coated materials or decora-
tions or use the special care iron sole.
• It is not necessary to spray the fabric with water and
starch; from this point of view, steam ironing is very
environmentally friendly.
• Carpets are like new and pressure marks from furni-
ture are removed when the compressed pile is
treated with steam and then carefully brushed.
• White and light laundry can be ironed from the
right. Fabrics with dark or strong colours should be
turned inside out before being ironed so that they
do not fade.
• We recommend ironing wool, cotton and fine linen
fabrics from the left or place a thin ironing cloth
on top so that no shiny areas are created.
Reinforced materials require more moisture.
Stitching is effectively accentuated by ironing from
the left.
• Linen can be ironed with plenty of steam. Lapels can
be accentuated by ironing from the right.
When using the extra case iron sole, everything can
be ironed from the right.
• Velvet and wool fabrics (including mohair), gloves
and bags can be very effectively freshened up
through gentle steaming. Do this by moving the
steam iron slowly across the material in steam
mode, leaving a slight gap.
• Do not iron over or place the iron on zips, hooks
etc., as these might scratch the sole.
• The iron sole must always be kept clean (see
cleaning instructions).
• After use, wait for the equipment to cool down.
Ensure that the cable does not come into contact
with hot parts.
• Always store the steam iron in a dry location.
• When using a special care iron sole, all materials can
be ironed from the right without creating shiny
areas.
• Each time the iron is used (for the first time) and if
you have not used the iron with steam for several
minutes. Press the steam button several times to
remove cold water from the steam circuit and clear
the inner circulation.
