Preparations before ironing
(A)
For details of the following actions, please see the
related chapters of this user manual.
1. Release the iron from its secureLock 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).
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 having to
select the steam or temperature levels.
If required, you can select your preferred setting
manually by using the touch 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’nClean).
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
indicates when the water tank (1) must be filled.
The
icon will flash when the water tank is empty.
Important:
• Normal tap water can be used.
To prolong the optimum steam function you can 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 refilled 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 void the
guarantee.
• 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.
