Steam ironing
Place the appliance on a stable, at surface.
Always place the iron on the heat insulang
stand.
Fill the water tank.
Connect the plug to the wall socket; the
device turns on.
Turn the temperature knob to the desired
seng, which depends on the fabric of the
garment; the temperature indicator lights
up and the iron starts to heat up.
When the temperature indicator turns o,
it means the selected temperature has
been reached. Now you may begin steam
ironing.
Gently press the steam buon, steam will
be sprayed from the base connuously; you
can iron the clothes with steam.
NOTE - Water may drip while spraying
steam when the temperature is lower than
posion 2 of the temperature knob. This is
normal.
CAUTION:
- Never touch the hot base unl it has
cooled!
- Never point the steam at anyone!
- Do not turn on the steam feature when
the iron is placed on the base of the unit to
avoid burns from the steam.
- Aer ironing, remove the plug from the
wall outlet. The base will sll be hot, so you
should not touch it with your hands.
- If it is necessary to rell the tank during
ironing, unplug the appliance from the
socket and let it cool down for at least 5
minutes before carefully removing the
water tank.
WARNING
During or aer ironing, never rest the hot
base of the iron anywhere besides the
thermal insulaon support.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, rst unplug and let the
appliance cool.
Clean residues and any other deposits
from the base with a damp cloth or a non-
abrasive (liquid) cleaning product.
NOTE: Do not use chemical cleaning
products, steel, wood, or abrasives to
scrape the base.
Clean the upper part of the iron with a so
damp cloth. Wipe o water droplets on the
base of the unit and the thermal insulaon
bracket with a dry cloth.
Limescale lter
Due to the large amount of steam that this
appliance produces, limescale can form
inside the water tank. Since limescale can
aect the components of the appliance, it
is important that limescale build-up is kept
to a minimum.
The appliance is equipped with an an-
scale lter, which cleans and prevents scale
build-up from aecng the pump and other
components inside the appliance.
The limescale lter must be replaced
periodically. How oen the lter needs
to be replaced will depend on how oen
the iron is used and the hardness of the
water in the area. For informaon on water
hardness in your area, consult your local
water supplier.
If limescale accumulates inside the water
tank or if the appliance loses performance,
