Ironing with Steam Spray
The steam spray is especially suited to smoothing
places in the laundry that are difficult to access.
• Raise the steam iron a little way.
• Press the steam spray button to release the steam
spray
i
.
Setting the Steam Iron
Temporarily Aside
Fire Hazard!
Never leave the steam iron unattended when it is
hot or switched on.
• Set the temperature control
a
to the position
"MIN“.
• Only put the steam iron down on its standing
foot
e
, fig. 2.
Putting the Steam Iron Away
After Use
• Remove the power plug from the power socket.
• Empty the water reservoir and clean the gliding
sole
r
.
• Place the cool steam iron horizontally on a soft,
clean base.
Drip-Stop Function
With conventional steam irons it can happen that
water drips from the iron sole
r
at too low ironing
temperatures. This iron however possesses a new
equipment characteristic, the Drip-Stop function:
At low temperatures the iron automatically switches
off the supply of water for generating steam (for
steam blast and steam ironing). When this happens,
a “CLICK” is to be heard.
This prevents water dripping from the soleplate.
You must then re-set a suitable temperature with the
temperature controller
a
. As soon as this is reached,
steam production is continued.
Additionally, if you set the steam iron down or just
let it cool off, the drip-stop function prevents water
leakage from the soleplate
r
.
Cleaning
Self-cleaning function
• Fill the water container up to the marking MAX.
• Insert the plug into the power socket.
• Set the temperature regulator
a
to the position
MAX.
• Let the iron warm up till the control light
w
cuts
off and lights up again.
• Hold the iron horizontally over a trap vessel.
• Set the steam regulator
u
to Self-Clean position
and hold it in this position. Now steam and boiling
water will start emerging from the steam escape
holes at the gilding sole
r
. Any dirt, if present,
will get washed out.
• Release the steam regulator
u
as soon as the
water in the water container is used up.
• To ensure that no water remains in the steam
chamber, dry the gilding sole
r
thoroughly. For
this purpose, wipe the gilding sole
r
a few
times on a towel or an old cloth.
• Allow the iron to cool down before storing it
away.
Note:
The effect of the self-cleaning function can diminish
after extended usage of the iron. We therefore re-
commend the addition of decalcification agent into
the water tank.
