Preparations before
ironing
For the details of the following actions, please see
the related chapters of this user manual.
1. Release the iron from its fixation system (10) by
pulling the lever located at the heel of the iron
backwards.
2. Remove any label or protective covering from the
soleplate (16).
3. Place the appliance horizontally on a solid, stable
surface. You may remove the iron pad (2) from
the appliance and place the iron on it on another
solid, stable, horizontal surface.
4. Fill the removable water tank (1). If the tank is
removed, three beeps may be heard.
5. Unwind the mains cable (5) fully, and plug it into
an earthed socket.
6. Set the main power button (9) to the on position
(illuminated in red).
7. The temperature and steam level automatic
selection function will be selected by default.
This allows you to start ironing without selecting
the steam or temperature levels.
If needed, select your preferred setting manually
by touching the tactile icons on the display (8).
The selected temperature and steam icons will
stop flashing after a time, indicating that the
appliance is ready to use.
Remark:
The steam generator will take more time to generate
steam only on initial heating up, or after performing
the de-scaling operation (calc´n´Clean).
When water is already present in the steam
generator during regular use, heat up time to reach
the operating temperature will be faster.
8. This appliance has a built-in water level sensor
which shows when the water tank (1) must be
filled.
The icon will flash when the water tank is
empty (three beeps may be heard).
Important:
• Normal tap water can be used.
To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap
water with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water
in your district is very hard, mix tap water with
distilled water 1:2.
You can inquire about the water hardness with
your local water supplier.
• The water tank (1) can be filled at any time while
using the appliance.
• To avoid damage and/or contamination of the
water tank and the boiler, do not put perfume,
vinegar, starch, descaling agents, additives or any
other type of chemical product into the water tank.
Any damage caused by the use of the
aforementioned products, will make the
guarantee void.
• Do not use condensation water from tumble
dryers, air conditioning systems or similar. This
appliance has been designed to use normal tap
water.
• The iron is not designed to rest on its heel.
Please always position it horizontally on the iron
pad (2).
• The iron pad can be placed into the specially
designed recess on the appliance or somewhere
suitable alongside the ironing area.
Never rest the iron on the appliance without
the iron pad!
• During its first use the iron may produce certain
vapours and odours, along with white particles on
the soleplate, this is normal and will stop after a
few minutes.
• While the steam release button is pressed, the
water tank may produce a pumping sound, this is
normal, indicating that water is being pumped to
the steam tank.

Setting the
temperature
By default, the steam station automatically chooses
the “i-Temp” temperature setting. If necessary, the
temperature setting may be modified and adapted to
your needs.
1. Check the ironing instruction label on the garment
to determine the correct ironing temperature.
2. Select the required ironing temperature setting:

Suitable for:
any type of fabric which
can be ironed.
dark and delicate

risk of shiny marks.
synthetics.
silk – wool.
cotton – linen.
3. The selected temperature icon will flash while the
soleplate (16) is heating and will stop flashing as
soon as the soleplate has reached the selected
temperature.
Tips:
• Sort your garments out based on their cleaning
symbol labels, always starting with clothes that
have to be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
• If you are not sure what the garment is made
of then begin ironing at a low temperature and
decide on the correct temperature by ironing a
small section not usually seen when worn.
