Caution: Hot steam comes out from the
preconditioning nozzles.
Spray function
Press the spray button (5).
Dry ironing
Set the steam regulator (6) on position «0»
(= steam off).
D Automatic shut-off
(780 and 770 models only)
The «auto-off» mechanism causes a slight
rattling noise during ironing. This is normal
and in no case indicates a fault of the iron.
The red «auto-off» light (9) will fl ash when
the automatic shut-off is activated.
This happens when the iron has rested
– horizontally on its sole plate for about
30 seconds or
– vertically on its heel rest for about
8 minutes.
To turn on the iron again, just move it.
When the «auto-off» pilot light stops
fl ashing, the electrical power is on again.
The automatic shut-off will be activated
approximately 2 minutes after the iron is
plugged into a socket.
E Textile Protectors
Textile Protector (11) (only with
780, 770 and 760 models)
The Textile Protector protects delicate
fabrics from heat damage so that you can
iron most fabrics without an intermediate
cloth. A special coating avoids shiny
patches.
With the Textile Protector, you are able to
iron delicate fabrics with the temperature
setting within the solid red range so that
you can use all steam functions your iron
offers.
To check the reaction of your fabrics
before you start ironing, we recommend
that you iron a small section of material on
the reverse side. However, in order not to
damage the coating, avoid ironing over
e.g. zippers, metal buttons/rivets or strass
with the Textile Protector attached.
After having attached the Textile
Protector, wait about 1 1/2 minutes before
you start ironing.
Soft Textile Protector (12) (only with
780 model)
The Soft Textile Protector ensures an
increased heat protection and utmost
care for most delicate fabrics thanks to its
specially designed SoftTouch cushion.
Even most delicate, ironable* fabrics are
protected against heat damage and shiny
patches are avoided.
With the Soft Textile Protector attached,
you can iron all ironable fabrics without an
intermediate cloth. The Soft Textile
Protector is perfectly suited for touching
up e.g. creases of delicate business suits
without having to use an ironing cloth.
With the Soft Textile Protector, you are
able to iron delicate fabrics with the
temperature setting within the solid red
range so that you can use all steam
functions your iron offers.
However, in order not to damage the
SoftTouch cushion, avoid ironing over e.g.
zippers, metal buttons/rivets or strass
with the Soft Textile Protector attached.
(* in order to know whether a piece of
garment is ironable, please refer to its care
label.)
F After ironing
Unplug the iron and turn the steam
regulator to position «0». To prolong the
life of the iron, empty the water tank.
Store the cool iron in a dry place always
standing on its heel rest.
G Maintenance and cleaning
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or
other chemicals. To clean the soft material
on the handle, use soapy water.
H Cleaning the anticalc valve
The anticalc valve located on the lower
end of the steam regulator has to be
decalcifi ed regularly (e.g. whenever steam
development is insuffi cient). For this, the
water tank has to be empty.
Removing the steam regulator with the
anticalc valve
Turn the steam regulator clockwise
towards the steam setting «6». Keep
on turning fi rmly beyond the resistance
until the steam regulator is lifted. When
positioned at x, pull it out vertically.
Do not touch the anticalc valve at its lower
end. Immerse the anticalc valve in vinegar
(not vinegar essence) or lemon juice for
a minimum of 30 minutes. Brush off
remaining residues and rinse under
running water (fi g. H, 1-7).

Re-inserting the steam regulator
When re-inserting the steam regulator,
make sure the steam regulator base still
points on setting x (fi g. H, 8). Firmly push
down the steam regulator until it turns
back to setting «6» (fi g. H) where it
catches.
Notice: The iron must never be used
without steam regulator.
