Ironing tips
Sort the articles to be ironed according
to the fabric. Ironing instructions are
usually stitched onto an inside seam of a
garment and these should be followed
at all times. Start your ironing with the
fabrics requiring the lowest heat setting.
If you are unsure of the fibre content of
a garment, test a small area (a seam or
inside hem) before ironing. When in
doubt, start with low heat. If wrinkles
remain, gradually increase the heat to
find the best setting for good results
without damaging the fabric.
How to fill with water
Check that the steam control gear µ is
in the dry position (position 0) when fil-
ling the water tank
ᕢ.
Pull back the water tank lid ᕩ and fill
the tank to the “MAX” line. Do not
overfill. Check the water level in the
tank in the position shown.
Use only clean mains water, without any
form of additive. Other fluids damage
the appliance. To extend the optimal
steam blast function, mix mains water
with distilled water according to the
table.
Water hardness Ratios - distilled
water to mains
water
very soft / soft 0
medium 1 : 1
hard 2 : 1
very hard 3 : 1
The water hardness level can be queried
at your local water works.
Auto shut-off safety feature
The automatic shut-off function ensures
that the iron is automatically shut off
after a standstill of 30 seconds in hori-
zontal position or 8 minutes in vertical
position.
When the iron is automatically shut off,
the blue shut-off indicator light in water
tank
ᕢ starts to flash.
If you move the iron gently back and
forth, it switches on again. The green
heater monitor light
Ƹ comes on again
when the temperature at the sole plate
ᕥ drops below the set ironing tempera-
ture. Wait until the green heater moni-
tor light
Ƹ goes out.
The iron has then reached the set iro-
ning temperature and can now be used.
