• Warning: risk of burns from steam and
sprayed hot water when using the
steam burst button. When using the
steam burst, always point the sole plate
towards the item of laundry or ironing
board.
• The sole plate becomes very hot during
operation. Only touch the handle and
control elements of the steam iron dur-
ing operation.
Never iron items of clothing on a per-
son's body.
WARNING! Risk of material damage
• Use the original accessories only.
• Do not use any astringent or abrasive
cleaning agents.
• Do not iron over e.g. zippers, metal but-
tons or applications that could damage
the sole plate.
• Do not put vinegar, limescale remover
or any other additives into the water
tank. Additives can damage the device.

5. Before using for the
first time
1. Ensure that you have pulled out the
mains plug 9.
2. Peel the protective foil off the
sole plate 19.
3. Open the lid 2 (of the water tank).
4. Half-fill the water tank 15.
5. Insert the mains plug 9 into a wall sock-
et corresponding to the technical data.
6. Set the temperature controller 16 to
max.
The temperature control lamp 11 lights
up.
7. When the device has reached the de-
sired temperature (temperature control
lamp 11 goes out), iron an old cotton
cloth in steam mode (steam flow rate con-
troller 3 on
), until the water tank 15
is empty.
6. Operation
DANGER! The sole plate 19 be-
comes very hot during operation.
Only touch the handle 7 and con-
trol elements of the steam iron dur-
ing operation.
• Even during short interruptions, always
place the steam iron upright and never
on its sole plate 19. There is a fire haz-
ard!
• NOTE: you may notice an odour when
using for the first time. This is a result of
the manufacturing process and is not a
defect with the device. Ensure adequate
ventilation.
The sole plate 19 cools down slightly during
ironing. In order to reach the set temperature
again, the device heats the sole plate up
again, during which the temperature control
lamp 11 lights up. It goes out again when
the set temperature has been reached. This
process repeats itself during ironing.
6.1 Filling the water tank
DANGER! Pull the mains plug 9
out of the socket before you fill up
the water tank 15.
• Use clean tap water without any addi-
tives (e.g. vinegar, limescale remover,
starch, perfume, softener).
