Important
• Please read these instructions for use
carefully in conjunction with the
illustrations before using the appliance.
• Check if the voltage rating on the
typeplate (under the steam tank)
corresponds to the mains voltage in
your home.
• Never unscrew the cap of the steam tank
while the appliance is connected to the
mains wall socket.
• Before using the first time remove any
sticker or protective foil from the
soleplate. Clean the soleplate with a soft
cloth.
• Only connect the appliance to a mains
earthed wall socket.
• Never use the appliance if damaged in
any way.
• Fully unwind the mains cord and supply
hose before starting to iron.
• Always unplug the iron and place it on
the stand when leaving, even when only
for a short while.
• Always place the iron on the iron stand.
Do not place the hot iron on the steam
tank, the supply hose or the mains cord.
The cordset should not be allowed to
touch the soleplate when it is hot.
• Fill the steam tank from a beaker with a
spout to avoid spillage.
• Never fill the steam tank with vinegar,
descaling agents or other chemicals.
• Never immerse the iron or the steam
tank in water.
• Some parts of the iron have been slightly
greased and as a result the iron might
slightly smoke when switched on for the
first time. After a short while, however,
this will cease.
• Take care that children cannot touch the
iron when hot and that they cannot pull
the mains cord or supply hose.
• Always place the steam tank on a stable
ironing board or table.

Ironing temperature
- Always check first if a label with ironing
instructions is attached to the article to be
ironed. Follow these ironing instructions in
all cases.
- If ironing instructions are missing but you know
the kind of fabric, then see the table for
recommended ironing temperatures.
- After the pilot light (G) has gone out and come
on again you can start ironing.
• During ironing the pilot light will come on from
time to time. When this happens, the soleplate
is being heated-up to the required temperature
again. You can continue ironing.
• The table is valid for the fibre materials only.
If some kind of finish has been applied (gloss,
wrinkle, relief etc.), the textile can best be
ironed at a lower temperature.
• First sort out the fabrics according to ironing
temperature: wool with wool, cotton with cotton,
etc.
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down.
Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring the
lowest temperature such as those made of
synthetic fibres. Then progress to the higher
temperatures.
• If the article is made of a mixture of different
fibres, you must always select the lowest
ironing temperature of the composition of those
fibres.
(E.g. an article consisting of "60% polyester and
40% cotton" should be ironed at the
temperature indicated for polyester (1) and
without steam.)
If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the
article has been made of, find a spot which will
be invisible when wearing or using the article to
