steam ironing is indicated on the
temperature control knob.
- After filling the reservoir with water,
place the steam iron upright on its base
stand and insert the plug into the wall
socket.
- Set the temperature control knob to the
required ironing temperature as
indicated by the ironing symbols.
- During the heating-up process the
indicator lamp will be on. The lamp will
go out once the required ironing
temperature is reached.
●
Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate
should be cleaned by passing it over an
old, clean cotton cloth, while using the
steam jet function; this helps to flush out
any dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the soleplate.
●
The steam output can be adjusted with
the steam control button or completely
switched off for dry ironing.
●
For dry ironing, the water reservoir may
be empty. Should there be water left in
the reservoir, the steam jet function may
also be used when dry-ironing at higher
temperature settings.
●
Place the steam iron upright on its base
stand after use and remove the plug from
the wall socket.
Steam Jet
When the steam jet button is depressed, an
additional hot steam jet is emitted from the
soleplate. This function can be very useful
when the regular amount of steam emitted is
not sufficient to remove stubborn creases or
when ironing difficult or thick fabrics. The
steam jet function may also be used with the
iron held vertically, to remove creases or
wrinkles from fabrics.

The laundry can be dampened by pressing
the spray button. This will help to smooth
out difficult areas. The spray nozzle may be
used at any temperature level during dry or
steam ironing.
General Care and Cleaning
●
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
●
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
- If necessary, the unit may be wiped with
a dry fuzz-free cloth.
- Starch, fat and other deposits on the
soleplate may be removed with a woollen
cloth soaked in a vinegar-water solution.
- In order to protect the clean soleplate,
you may occasionally apply a small
amount of paraffin to the warm plate,
wiping it off with a woollen cloth.
●
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
●
Do not put vinegar or other descalers
into the water reservoir.
Self-cleaning system
The self-cleaning system flushes out loose
mineral deposits and keeps the appliance
free of lime and dust particles. Self-cleaning
should be performed if the iron has not been
used for an extended period of time, or
otherwise every 10-15 days. Proceed as
follows:
- Fill the water reservoir up to the
maximum level mark with water.
- Place the iron on its base stand and insert
the plug into the wall socket.
- Set the temperature control to its
maximum.
- Wait until the red indicator light goes
out.
- Remove the plug from the wall socket.
- Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
- With the self-cleaning button depressed,
swing the iron lightly to and fro until no
