If the garment has print, sequins or similar, special care is required as such materials may
melt. Consequently, the above table is not valid for such materials. We recommend that
fabrics that have a tendency of becoming shiny are ironed on the reverse side. If ironed on
the right side, do it carefully and always keep the iron moving.
Filling with water
If you want to use the iron with steam, start by filling water direct from the tap. Do
not
use
distilled or demineralised water as such liquids may combine with the metal parts of the iron.
Using other liquids than tap water may damage the iron and may furthermore result in
black
spots
on the garment to be ironed. Damage to garments due to the use of other liquids than
tap water is not covered by the warranty and possible use of other liquids can be ascertained
by our repair shop.
If you live in an area with very hard water (above 17 dh), you should clean the steam chamber
of the iron regularly in order to avoid lime deposits. Follow the self-cleaning process as
described in this manual. The iron is furthermore equipped with a built-in anti-calc filter (not
replaceable), which has been designed to reduce the building up of limestone in the steam
chamber and thus to prolong the lifetime of the iron. The anti-calc filter will, however, not
entirely prevent the natural building up of limestone in the iron, and it is therefore important
to follow the self-cleaning procedure at regular intervals.
Remove the mains plug from the electrical outlet and pour water into the delivered beaker.
Set the steam selector at “0”. Keep the iron in a horizontal position and open the filling inlet
by pulling the lid backwards.
Pour the water slowly into the filling hole. The water level must not exceed the Max indication.
Close the lid to the filling inlet.
NOTE:
If you are going to steam iron afterwards, it is important
that the iron is heated before switching the steam selector to steam ironing.
Steam ironing
Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures – indicated by the word “Steam” on the
temperature control. Please see the table above.
• Make sure that the appliance is unplugged
• Add water through the filling inlet (the water tank shall be at least
¼
full of water), cf. the
relevant section. Remember to set the steam selector at “0” first to prevent water from
running out right away.
• Reinsert the plug into the socket and set the temperature at the level you want.
• The thermometer light will be on and go off again, once the iron has reached the
temperature set and is ready for use. The thermostat light will flash at certain intervals,
as the thermostat will automatically go out while ironing to ensure the right temperature.
• Finally, set the steam selector and start ironing.
