[. . . ] This considerably prolongs the operational life of you iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced. Do not use descaling agents, as they will damage the lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam function. F3 Anti-Drip System (depending on model) If the temperature is set too low, the iron cannot produce steam because of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water leaking from the soleplate. I Problems? Problem The soleplate does not heat up or the thermostat light does not come on. Possible cause No power supply. Solution Check that the mains plug is properly inserted or try plugging the iron into a different socket. The temperature Turn the temperature concontrol is on position trol to the required setting. [. . . ] A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this is only temporary. The water tank can then be filled directly with untreated tap water using a jug (see C). ­ Each time you begin ironing, allow the iron to emit steam for at least 1 minute. During this time press the power steam button from time to time to release several bursts of steam. Any particles released through the soleplate during first use are harmless and are due to the newness of your iron Tip: We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature as the iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabrics. E Ironing and Steam functions E1 Dry ironing To iron without continuous steam, turn the steam control ( ) to the position and set the temperature to suit the type of material (care points ·, ·· or ···).

Tilt the iron and pour in untreated tap water up to the maximum level ( ). Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix it 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water. Do no add anything to the contents of the water tank and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water. These contain organic waste or mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear to your iron. [. . . ] The thermostat light ( ) indicates that the soleplate is heating up. When the light goes out, the required temperature has been reached. Please note: When heating up the iron from cold, wait until the thermostat light has gone out a second time. Only then is the set temperature reached. [. . . ]
