reinsert the water tank.

Note: If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an equal amount of distilled
water.

setting the temperature

temperature.
- 1 for synthetic fabrics ( e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide) and silk
- 2 for wool
- 3 for cotton

2 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial to the appropriate
position (Fig. 4).
3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
4 Switch on the appliance.

, The power-on light of the on/off button goes on.
, The temperature light on the iron goes on. When the iron has reached the set temperature,
the temperature light goes out.
Note: During ironing, the temperature light goes on from time to time. This indicates that the iron is
heating up to the set temperature.

to indicate that the steam generator is ready for steam ironing.
tips
- If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing
temperature by ironing a part that is not visible when you wear or use the article.
- If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature required by the
most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest temperature. For example: if a fabric consists of 60% polyester
and 40% cotton, it must be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester ( 1) and without
steam.
- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, i.e. those made of
synthetic materials.
- If you set a lower temperature during ironing, wait until the iron has cooled down to the set
temperature before you continue ironing. To make the iron cool down faster, simply press the
steam trigger or iron a piece of cloth.
