6.1 Filling the water tank
DANGER!
~ Pull the mains plug|10 out of the socket
before you fill up the water tank|13.
• Use clean tap water without any addi-
tives (e.g. vinegar, limescale remover,
starch, perfume, softener).
• The integrated anti-limescale protection
reduces limescale deposits for average
water hardness, and thus extends the
service life of the device. If your tap wa-
ter is hard, use distilled water. Where
the water is moderately hard, mix dis-
tilled water and tap water at a ratio of
1:1.
1. Disconnect the mains plug|10 from the
wall socket.
2. Set the steam flow rate controller|3 to
.
3. Open the lid|2 (of the water tank) and
tilt the iron forwards slightly to fill it.
4. Use the measuring beaker|19 to pour in
water up to the mark|17 max, but at
least up to one quarter. Hold the steam
iron upright to check.
5. Close the lid|2 (of the water tank).
6. Place the steam iron on the base
unit|12 and set the steam flow rate con-
troller|3 to the desired position.
6.2 Set iron temperature
1. Figure B: Set the desired temperature
using the temperature controller|15:
- MIN the device is not getting hot
-
÷ temperature: up to
approx. 110 °C
(synthetic materials - e.g. poly-
ester)
-
÷÷ temperature: up to
approx. 150 °C
(Silk, wool)
-
÷÷÷ temperature: up to
approx. 210 °C
(linen, cotton)
- MAX maximumtemperature
2. The temperature control lamp |7 is lit
for as long as the steam iron is heating.
It goes out when the set temperature has
been reached. You can then begin iron-
ing.
6.3 Spray function
Use the spray function in order to dampen
dry items of laundry. This option is available
irrespective of the set temperature. For this
purpose, the water tank|13 must be at least
one quarter full.

atures and without steam. In order to damp-
en them, the spray function is available.
1. Set the steam flow rate control|3 to
and set the temperature controller|15 to
MIN.
2. Fill the water tank|13 if you wish to use
the spray function.
3. Place the steam iron on the base
unit|12.
4. Connect the mains plug|10 with the
wall socket.
5. Set the desired temperature using the
temperature controller|15. The tempera-
