Steam ironing

Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures. Please see the table above.

• 

Make sure that the appliance is unplugged

• 

Set the steam selector at      first to prevent water from running out right away. 

Add  water  through  the  water  filling  inlet  (the  tank  shall  be  at  least  ¼  full  of 

water) as described above.

• 

Reinsert the plug into the socket and set the temperature control at 

•••.

The 

thermometer light will be on, but goes 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 at      (normal amount of steam) or     (bigger 

amount) depending on the amount of steam you want. You can now start ironing.

When steam ironing at low temperatures some dripping may be seen from the 

soleplate as the water in the tank will not evaporate sufficiently. Therefore, always be 

sure to set the steam selector corresponding to the temperature setting. 

Before ironing, in particular for the first time, we recommend to pump the spray 

and burst of steam buttons 3 to 4 times in order to activate these functions. 

Burst of steam

Make sure that the water tank is at least ¼ full of water. Set the temperature at  

•••

, 

and wait until the temperature has been reached (wait until the thermostat light goes 

out again).

Lift the iron a few centimetres from the garment and press hard on the burst of steam 

button. The soleplate will now release a powerful burst of steam onto the garment. 

It may be necessary to activate the burst of steam button a couple of times in order 

to ensure the optimum power of the pump in the iron. Wait a few seconds before 

reactivating the burst of steam button.

Note that the burst of steam can be activated at high temperatures.

IMPORTANT!

The steam is hot when you use the burst of steam, and therefore keep children 

away to avoid burns. Keep your fingers off the steam jet when this function 

is on.

Vertical ironing

The iron can also be used for vertical ironing, which is perfect for removing creases 

on hanging clothes, curtains etc. The process is the same as for burst of steam (see
