- Remove the mains
plug from the wall
socket.
- Using the spanner,
carefully unscrew the
cap of the steam tank
(anti-clockwise) until
you can hear steam
escaping (fig. 6).
Wait for the hissing
sound to stop.
This high-pitched sound is completely normal
and is not dangerous.
- Carefully unscrew the cap of the steam tank
further, until you hear the hissing sound again.
Wait again until the sound stops. Proceed in the
same manner until the cap is unscrewed.
- Wait for a few minutes. Then slowly pour
water into the filling opening (D) (fig. 2).
- Close the steam tank by turning the screw cap
manually (clockwise) until tight (fig. 3).
Steam-ironing
• As indicated on the temperature dial (H) and
the table, steam-ironing is only possible at
higher ironing temperatures, so set the dial to
2 or 3.
- Insert the mains plug
into a wall socket.
- Set switch "Steam
tank On/Off" (B) to
position |. The pilot
light in the switch will
come on (fig. 7).
• The iron heats up
faster than the steam
tank. Hence you can
switch on the iron a
few minutes later than
the steam tank.
- Select the required
ironing temperature
with the temperature
dial (H) (fig. 8).
- Set switch "Iron
On/Off" (C) to
position |. The pilot
light in the switch as
well as pilot light (G)
will come on (fig. 9)
- After a few minutes,
pilot light (G) will go
out. This indicates that
the soleplate has
reached the set
temperature.
- When pilot light (B) goes out, this indicates that
the steam tank is heated up and that steam is
ready. You can now start steam ironing.
- While steam-ironing
keep the steam
activator (F) pressed-
in (fig. 10).
• During steam-ironing
the two pilot lights (B)
and (G) will come on
from time to time.
When this happens,
either the iron or the
steam tank is being heated-up to the required
temperature. You can continue ironing.
Steaming in a vertical
position
Hanging curtains and
clothing (jackets,
woman's suits, coats)
can be steamed by
holding the iron in a
vertical position (fig. 11).
Dry-ironing
• For ironing without steam, do not press-in the
steam activator (F).
• You may switch off the steam tank by setting
switch (B) to Off-position ( O ).
When finished ironing
- Switch off the steam
tank and the iron
(fig. 12, 13).
- Remove the mains
plug from the wall
socket.
- Place the iron on the
stand and let it cool
down.
• It is not necessary to
pour the remainder of
the water out of the
steam tank.
