If you have extremely hard water we recommend using a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water. Keep the iron in the upright position and plug it into the outlet. Select the desired temperature according to the ironing guide on the heel rest (8) or the label in your garment. ⷠThe temperature pilot light (7) goes off when the desired temperature is reached (after approximately 1 minute). When limescale particles come out of the steam vents or when the steam development is insufficient even after cleaning the «anti-calc» valve, you should clean the steam chamber as follows: 1) Make sure the steam button (3) is in the lowered position (steam off). 4)­5) Wait until the pilot light (7) turns off, then unplug the iron from the outlet. 6)­7) Holding the iron over a sink, press the steam button (3) so it is in the upright position, carefully pull it up, turn it and let it rest in that position. Caution: When the steam button (3) is pulled up, hot water and steam will be released from the soleplate. 8) Turn the steam button (3) back into place by pushing it down until it clicks into place. 11)­13) When the pilot light (7) goes off, press the power shot button (5) 4 times to rinse the iron. Disconnect the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool off, then clean it as described above in section E.

With the steam button (3) in the upright position, turn the steam regulator (3a) to adjust the steam quantity. Pre-Conditioning Steam (available on models SI 6285 and SI 6245) Steam comes out of the channels on the upper part of the soleplate around the front of the iron. This preconditions the fabric by «pre-steaming», thus making ironing easier. Use caution as steam comes out laterally. 2 Power shot Prior to use, press the power shot button (5) 3 to 4 times to activate it. Press the power shot button (5) in intervals of at least 5 seconds. Power shot (5) can be activated when dry ironing (see point 4 below). However, the temperature selector (6) must be set in the range between «· The power shot function can also be used in the vertical position for steaming hanging garments or curtains. [. . . ] To attach the Textile Protector, lay it flat on the ironing board, position the tip of the iron into the Textile Protector tip, pull back the plastic release, place the iron into the Textile Protector, and click it into place by letting go of the plastic release.
