[. . . ] Above all please observe the safety instructions on the initial pages of these operating instructions!Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to any subsequent owner of the appliance. When steam ironing, steam is emitted from the holes in the soleplate ­ risk of burns! [. . . ] Follow on by ironing materials that require progressively higher temperatures. In this way you avoid damaging sensitive fabrics by using too high a temperature. When switched on, the power indicator lamp lights up (Figure 1/J); it goes out when the temperature set has been reached. However, if the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) is turned back, please note You can use tap water up to 3 mmol/I 17° dH water hardness level. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. If the water from your tap is harder than the above, please use distilled water available from a chemist or a 50:50 mixture of tap water and distilled water. When using for the first time, please note: 0 Fill the reservoir with water; set the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to maximum position (Figure 4/B). 0 Heat the appliance and place it with the soleplate facing downwards on an iron rest or plate (Figure 5) to allow the water to steam through and activate the steam chamber. You will obtain optimal steaming results and the noise produced by the steaming will be steadier after the water reservoir has been filled and drained three times. Steaming hanging items of clothing 0 Turn the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) to the "MAX" position and wait until the power indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out. 0 Hang the article concerned on a hanger and hold the steam iron at a distance of 10 ­ 20 cm from the material. 0 Now press the steam jet button (Figure 1/G). Wait at least 5 seconds before pressing the button again. To steam iron, set the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) to the required fabric type and wait until the power indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out - only then set the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to the desired position (Figure 4/B). You will find which temperature setting (fabric type) matches which steam setting in the ironing table. as soon as the steam iron is held horizontally steam begins to form. When the steam iron is set upright again the steam supply stops automatically. Warning: Do not attempt to freshen up clothing whilst it is still being worn. The drip stop immediately interrupts the creation of steam if the temperature selected is too low. The first time you use the appliance, or if you have not used it for a long time, you will need to press the spray function button (Figure 1/H) several times before water comes out of the spray nozzle (Figure 1/D). You can also use the spray function when dry ironing. The super steam jet function is of valuable assistance when ironing, for example, creases, embroidery etc. [. . . ] Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
