Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
- 1 for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 for silk
- 2 for wool
- 3 for cotton and linen
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right
ironing temperature by ironing a part that is not visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny
patches. To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those
made of synthetic fibres.
3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
, The amber temperature light goes on (Fig. 6).
4 When the temperature light goes out, wait a while before you start ironing.
The temperature light goes on from time to time during ironing.
Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the rst time. This stops after a
short while.
Steam ironing
1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
2 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’,
section ‘Setting the temperature’).
3 Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam setting is suitable for
the set ironing temperature: (Fig. 7)
- 1 - 2 for moderate steam (temperature settings 2 to 3)
- 3 - 4 for maximum steam (temperature settings 3 to MAX)
Note: The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it has reached the set temperature.
Note: If the selected ironing temperature is too low (MIN to 2), water may drip from the
soleplate (see chapter ‘Features’, section ‘Drip stop’).
1 Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam) (Fig. 3).
2 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’,
section ‘Setting the temperature’).
Spray function
You can use the spray function at any temperature to moisten the article to be ironed.
This helps remove stubborn creases.
1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
2 Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be ironed (Fig. 8).
A powerful steam boost helps to remove very stubborn creases.
The steam boost function can only be used at temperature settings between 2 and MAX.
1 Press and release the steam boost button (Fig. 9).
The concentrated steam boost from the long vents in the Steam Tip enhances the
distribution of steam into every part of your garment. The concentrated steam boost
function can only be used at temperature settings between 2 and MAX.
1 Press and release the steam boost button (Fig. 10).
You can also use the steam boost function when you hold the iron in vertical position.
This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position and press and release the steam boost
button (Fig. 11).
Never direct the steam at people.
This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically stops producing
steam when the temperature is too low, to prevent water from dripping out of the
soleplate. When this happens you may hear a sound.
