BURST OF STEAM

The• burst• of• steam• function• is• useful• for• ironing•
folds• and• can• only• be• used• at• high• ironing• tem-
peratures• (in• this• case• the• temperature• control•
knob•(11)•is•set•to•«

•••

»•or•

«MAX»

)

•

When• pressing• the• burst• of• steam• button• (5)•
steam• will• go• out• of• the• iron• soleplate• more•
intensively.

Note

To• avoid• water• leakage• from• steam• open-
ings,• press• the• burst• of• steam• button• (5)• with•
a• 4-5• sec.• interval.• To• avoid• dripping,• do• not•
hold• the• burst• of• steam• button• (5)• longer• than•
5•seconds.

VERTICAL STEAM

Vertical•steam•function•can•be•used•only•at•high•
ironing• temperatures• (in• this• case• the• tempera-
ture•control•knob•(11)•is•set•to•«

«MAX»

).

Hold• the• iron• vertically• at• the• distance• of•
10-30• cm• from• the• clothes• and• press• the• burst•
of• steam• button• (5)• with• 4–5• second• intervals,•
steam• will• be• released• from• the• soleplate• (13)•
intensively.

Important information

Vertical• steaming• is• not• recommended• for• syn-
thetic•fabrics.

•

To• avoid• fabric• melting,• do• not• touch• it• with•
the•iron•soleplate•while•steaming.

•

Never•steam•clothes•on•a•person•as•the•steam•
temperature•is•very•high,•use•a•clothes•hanger•
or•a•coat•rack.

•

After•you•finish•ironing,•switch•the•unit•off,•wait•
until•it•cools•down•completely,•then•open•the•
water•inlet•lid•(2),•turn•over•the•iron•and•pour•
out•the•remaining•water.

AUTO SWITCH-OFF FUNCTION

If• the• iron• remains• still• for• about• 30• seconds• in•
horizontal•position•or•for•about•8•minutes•in•ver-
tical•position,•it•is•switched•off•automatically,•and•
you•will•hear•a•sound•signal.•To•switch•the•iron•on•
again•just•start•ironing.

Note

After  the  iron  is  switched  on  the  preset  sole-
plate  temperature  will  be  restored  after  some 
time depending on the temperature control knob 
position.

STEAM CHAMBER CLEANING

To• prolong• lifetime• of• the• iron• we• recommend•
cleaning•the•steam•chamber•regularly.

•

Set• the• continuous• steam• supply• knob• (3)• to•
the•utmost•right•position•–•continuous•steam•
supply•is•off.

•

Fill•the•water•tank•(10)•until•its•filled•half•way.

•

Place•the•iron•on•its•base•(8).

•

Insert•the•power•plug•into•the•mains•socket.

•

Set• the• control• knob• (11)• to• the• maximum•
soleplate• temperature• «

»,• the• pilot• lamp•

(9)•will•light•up.

•

When• the• iron• soleplate• (13)• reaches• the• set•
temperature,•the•pilot•lamp•(9)•will•go•out•and•
you•can•start•cleaning•the•steam•chamber.

•

Switch• the• iron• off• setting• the• temperature•
control•knob•(11)•to•the•«OFF»•position.

•

Remove• the• power• cord• from• the• mains•
socket.

•

Hold•the•iron•above•the•sink•horizontally,•press•
and•hold•down•the•self-clean•button•(14).

•

Boiling• water• and• steam• with• scale• will• be•
released• from• the• iron• soleplate• (13)• open-
ings.

•

Slightly•sway•the•iron•back•and•forth,•until•all•
the•water•leaves•the•water•tank•(10).

•

Place• the• iron• on• its• base• (8)• and• let• it• cool•
down•completely.

•

When• the• soleplate• (13)• cools• down• com-
pletely,•wipe•it•with•a•dry•cloth.

•

Before• you• take• the• iron• away• for• storage,•
make• sure• that• there• is• no• water• in• the• water•
tank• (10)• and• that• the• iron• soleplate• (13)• is•
completely•dry.

CLEANING AND CARE

•

Before• cleaning• the• iron,• make• sure• that• it• is•
unplugged•and•has•cooled•down•completely.

•

Wipe•the•iron•body•with•a•slightly•damp•cloth•
and•then•wipe•it•dry.
