Using your appliance

Filling the water tank

Fill the water tank before every use and when the ‘water tank

empty’ light ashes.

Do not add perfume, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar,

starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled

water or other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting,

brown staining or damage to your appliance.

1 Remove the water tank from the appliance and ll it with

tap water up to the MAX indication.

Tip: Your appliance has been designed for use with tap water.

If you live in an area with very hard water, scale builds up

quickly. In this case it is recommended to use distilled water

to prolong the life of your appliance.

2 Put the water tank back into the appliance by sliding in the

bottom part rst. Then push the top part until it locks into

place.

‘Water tank empty’ light

When the water tank is almost empty, the ‘water tank

empty’ light goes on. Fill the water tank and press the steam

trigger to let the appliance heat up again. When the ‘iron ready’

light lights up continuously, you can continue steam ironing.

OptimalTEMP technology

The OptimalTEMP technology enables you to iron all types

of ironable fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron

temperature setting.

Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen,

cotton, polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.

Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include

synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed

fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on

garments.

ENGLISH

During ironing, you can place the iron either on the iron

platform or horizontally on the ironing board. Thanks to the

OptimalTEMP technology, the soleplate will not damage the

ironing board cover.

2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank

(see section ‘Filling the water tank’).

light’ and the power-on light stop ashing and light up

continuously. Additionally you hear a short beep.

fabric.

Note: For the best results on silk and shiny synthetic fabrics,

it is recommended to keep the steam trigger pressed

continuously while ironing.

Ironing tips

Minimising wrinkles while drying

Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading

out your laundry properly after washing and by putting

garments on hangers to make them dry naturally with fewer

wrinkles.

Best practice shirt ironing

Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cu links and

sleeves. Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back to

prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing

the time-consuming parts.

Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work

from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and

repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a more

crisp nish.

Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more

eective and faster ironing.

Cleaning and maintenance

To properly maintain your appliance, clean the iron and the

appliance regularly.

1 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth. To remove

stubborn stains, you can use a small amount of washing-

up liquid.

2 To easily and eectively remove stains from the soleplate,

switch on the appliance and let it heat up. When the

appliance has heated up, move the iron over a moist cloth

while you press the steam trigger.

Tip: Clean the soleplate regularly to ensure smooth gliding.

ENGLISH

IMPORTANT - EASY DE-CALC

It is very important to use the EASY DE-CALC function as

soon as the EASY DE-CALC light starts to ash and the

appliance beeps continuously.

The EASY DE-CALC light ashes and the appliance beeps

continuously after about a month or 10 ironing sessions to

indicate that the appliance needs to be descaled. Perform

the following EASY DE-CALC procedure before you continue

ironing.

To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool

down for at least two hours before you perform the EASY DE-

CALC procedure.

1 Remove the plug from the wall socket.

2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.

3 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the

EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise.

4 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with

scale particles ow into the cup.

5 When no more water comes out of the appliance, reinsert

the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn it clockwise to fasten it.

6 You can continue using your iron immediately after

completing the EASY DE-CALC procedure.
