A Description
1 Spray nozzle
2 Water tank opening
3 Steam regulator
4 Spray button
5 Steam shot button
6 Temperature selector
7 Pilot light
8 Heel rest
B Before starting off
This iron is designed for tap water. If you have
extremely hard water, we recommend that you
use a mixture of 50 % tap water and 50 %
distilled water. Fill the water tank to «max»
marking. Never use distilled water exclusively.
Do not add any additives (e.g. starch). Do not
use condensation water from a tumble dryer.
• Before filling with water, turn off the steam
regulator («0» = steam off).
• Holding the iron slightly inclined (as shown in
B), fill the water tank up to the «max» marking.
• Place the iron upright on its heel rest and
connect it to the mains.
Select the temperature according to the
ironing guide on the heel rest of the iron or on
the label in your garments.
The pilot light (7) goes off when the desired
temperature is reached (after approx. 1 1/2
min.).
C Ironing
1 Vario steam
You can select the steam quantity using the
steam regulator (3)
(0= no steam,
= maximum steam).
Notice: While ironing, do not turn the steam
regulator beyond
.
The temperature selector (6) has to be set
between «••» and «max».
Preconditioning
Steam also develops horizontally at the front
area of the sole plate. This preconditions the
textiles by «pre-steaming», thus making
ironing easier.
Be careful – steam comes out laterally.
