Resting it horizontally with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam. Cleaning and Maintenance Attention !For general cleaning, follow the information below: Problem Dirty/lightly marked iron body or soleplate Mark develops on soleplate during use Heavily stained soleplate Solution Clean the body of iron or soleplate with a damp cloth then dry it. Set the iron to its maximum temperature setting. Rub the iron a few times over with a dry cotton cloth folded several times. While the iron is cold, iron a linen cloth soaked in white vinegar. Then dampen a cloth with water and wipe the soleplate clean and dry thoroughly. DO NOT de-scale or clean the water tank with cleaning products or solvents, as these could cause the iron to drip when using the steam function. DO NOT use a “professional steam cleaner” for cleaning the appliance. DO NOT use sharp objects or abrasive products to clean the soleplate or any other part of the appliance. To keep the soleplate in good condition, do not allow it to come into contact with metal objects. Using Your Iron 1. Your iron 3. Setting the temperature The temperature control (H) adjusts the temperature of the soleplate (E). 1. Check the temperature instructions shown on the care label of the garment you are ironing and set the temperature control (H) to the corresponding position by lining it up with the pointer (G) on the iron: Fabric Synthetics Silk - Wool Cotton - Linen Temperature Setting • •• ••• 4. Ironing with steam The steam regulator (A) is used to adjust the amount of steam produced when ironing. 1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (D). 2. Adjust the temperature setting and then set the steam regulator according to the table below. The “e” steam setting (energy saving “e” setting: 24% energy saving*) can be used for most fabrics. The steam setting should only be used on thick fabrics where there are still wrinkles. Steam setting 2. Filling the water tank ”position and unplug the iron from the mains!1. Place the iron at an angle of 45° with the point facing upwards. 2. Fill the water tank (D) via the water tank inlet but never above the “max” mark (F). [. . . ] 2. Set the temperature selector to the “max” position and plug in the iron. 3. After the necessary warm-up period, the pilot light (I) goes out. Press the “clean” button (O) and gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out, carrying scale or deposits that might be there. [. . . ]
