Before first use
• Before using the iron for the first
time, check if the voltage rating on
the base plate corresponds to the
mains voltage in your home.
• Remove the storage cover, sticker or
any protective items from the solepla-
te
´.
• It is important to remove any residues
of the polishing compound, used on
the soleplate
´, which may have lod-
ged in the steam vents. Using the
measuring cup
ᕧ supplied, pour
water into the iron up to the MAX
line. Clean the steam vents by using
“Calc Clean” system. (See using the
Calc Clean Button
ᕤ). When finished,
wipe the soleplate ´ with an old
cloth. Cotton swabs may be used to
clean and dry the steam vents.
• Some parts of the iron have been
slightly greased and as a result the
iron may smoke slightly when swit-
ched on for the first time. After a
short while, however, this will cease.
Open a window.
• Normal tap water can usually be used
for ironing. But if you live in a hard
water area we recommend to use
distilled water to insure
optimum performance of your iron.
