Steam ironing
Place the appliance on a stable, flat surface.
Always place the iron on the heat insulating
stand.
Fill the water tank.
Connect the plug to the wall socket; the
device turns on.
Turn the temperature knob to the desired
setting, which depends on the fabric of the
garment; the temperature indicator lights
up and the iron starts to heat up.
When the temperature indicator turns off,
it means the selected temperature has
been reached. Now you may begin steam
ironing.
Gently press the steam button, steam will
be sprayed from the base continuously; you
can iron the clothes with steam.
NOTE - Water may drip while spraying
steam when the temperature is lower than
position 2 of the temperature knob. This is
normal.
CAUTION:
- Never touch the hot base until it has
cooled!
- Never point the steam at anyone!
- Do not turn on the steam feature when
the iron is placed on the base of the unit to
avoid burns from the steam.
- After ironing, remove the plug from the
wall outlet. The base will still be hot, so you
should not touch it with your hands.
- If it is necessary to refill the tank during
ironing, unplug the appliance from the
socket and let it cool down for at least 5
minutes before carefully removing the
water tank.
WARNING
During or after ironing, never rest the hot
base of the iron anywhere besides the
thermal insulation support.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, first unplug and let the
appliance cool.
Clean residues and any other deposits
from the base with a damp cloth or a non-
abrasive (liquid) cleaning product.
NOTE: Do not use chemical cleaning
products, steel, wood, or abrasives to
scrape the base.
Clean the upper part of the iron with a soft
damp cloth. Wipe off water droplets on the
base of the unit and the thermal insulation
bracket with a dry cloth.
Limescale filter
Due to the large amount of steam that this
appliance produces, limescale can form
inside the water tank. Since limescale can
affect the components of the appliance, it
is important that limescale build-up is kept
to a minimum.
The appliance is equipped with an anti-
scale filter, which cleans and prevents scale
build-up from affecting the pump and other
components inside the appliance.
The limescale filter must be replaced
periodically. How often the filter needs
to be replaced will depend on how often
the iron is used and the hardness of the
water in the area. For information on water
hardness in your area, consult your local
water supplier.
If limescale accumulates inside the water
tank or if the appliance loses performance,
