information about water hardness at the water-management authorities, or at the local sanitary
station. For water hardness > 15 °N we recommend filling the iron in the following ratio:
Water hardness Ratio of tap water : distilled water
medium 2 : 1
hard 1 : 1
very hard 1 : 2
Sprinkling appliance (additional spray)
It is used for moistening fabrics and it is effective in ironing extremely creased fabrics. It is
activated by repeated pressing of additional spray button E. We do not recommend applying
additional spray for fine fabrics (e.g. silk and synthetic) as the used water may stain the fabric.
Intensive steaming (steam shock)
Use only if the steam ironing is insufficient. In this case press intensive steaming button
F several times (Fig. 6A – ). Thus you will get additional steam except for the steam
created by standard steaming.
Warning
When you press intensive steaming button F several times, water may drip from the ironing
plate due to excess water in the steam chamber. Do not consider this as faulty operation.
VERTICAL SYSTEM
It is intensive vertical steaming for steaming of freely hanging textiles (such as hanging
clothes, draperies, hangings). Set the regulation wheel H to the marked area for steaming
(Fig. 2). As soon as the indication lamp G turns OFF, stretch the fabric slightly with one
hand and move the iron vertically bottom-up (Fig. 6B – ). Press the intensive steaming
button F so that you reach vertical steam hammer. Do not hold the intensive steaming button
pressed continuously and do not use it more than 3 times consecutively.
WARNING
– Prevent burning of sensitive fabrics, do not close them to the iron to distance of 10 to 20 cm.
– Use the VERTICAL function only if the regulation wheel H to the ••• or maximum position.
DRIP STOP
The appliance prevents leaking water from the ironing plate when its temperature is insufficient.
Self-cleaning system (SELF CLEAN)
Hold the iron disconnected from power supply in your hand, turn steaming regulator D to
position (Fig. 5) and lift off cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour water into container
I using the enclosed cup O to fill half of it and close the filling hole lid (Fig. 4) by snapping
it. Keep the position of the iron for pouring water in it. Put the iron to the rest position
(Fig. 7) and set the regulation wheel H to the maximum position. Plug power cord M into a
socket. When the control light G switch off, disconnect the iron from the electric power. Hold
the iron in the horizontal position over a sink. Press the SELF CLEAN button repeatedly (two
to three times), each time for about 5 seconds. Then wait till water stops going out from the
ironing plate. If the iron still contains a lot of impurities, repeat the procedure while pushing
the intensive steaming button between individual pushing of the SELF-CLEAN button. After
completing the cleaning, plug the iron into the electric power, set the selected program and
then iron a clean piece of cotton cloth so that the ironing plate is cleaned. Clean the ironing
plate using the SELF CLEAN function continuously (about once a month).
