[. . . ] When operating the steam iron, hold only by the handle. Do not allow steam to escape in the direction of anyone nearby. The iron must be used and stored on a stable and durable surface only. With the iron placed on its base stand, ensure that this too is on a stable and durable surface. [. . . ] - Close the water fill hole. 6 General information about ironing Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be ironed. - The meaning of the ironing symbols is as follows: · synthetics (low temperature) ·· silk and wool (medium temperature) ··· cotton and linen (high temperature) - These markings can also be found on the temperature control knob of the steam iron in form of dot symbols. Laundry to be ironed should be sorted according to the fabric ironing temperature. Follow the ironing symbols and start with the lowest temperature. When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or if you are not sure about the fabrics, you may carefully test-iron at a non-visible point, e. g. If the laundry is being dried in a dryer before ironing, the temperature should be adjusted to "iron dry". Start up Clean the steam iron before using for the first time, according to the instructions given in the paragraph "General Care and Cleaning". This will result in the removal of possible dust particles from the soleplate and subsequently lessen the smell typically encountered when first switching on. Ironing Steam ironing requires high temperatures. The temperature level for steam ironing is indicated on the temperature control knob. - After filling the reservoir with water, place the steam iron upright on its base stand and insert the plug into the wall socket. - Set the temperature control knob to the required ironing temperature as indicated by the ironing symbols. - During the heating-up process the green and red indicator light will be on. The red indicator light will go out once the required ironing temperature is reached. Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate should be cleaned by passing it over an old, clean cotton cloth, while using the steam jet function; this helps to flush out any dirt residues or lint particles trapped inside the openings in the soleplate. The steam output can be adjusted to different levels with the steam control button, or turned off completely for dry ironing. For dry ironing, the water reservoir may be empty. Should there be water left in the reservoir, the steam jet function may also be used when dry-ironing at higher temperature settings. Place the steam iron upright on its base stand after use and remove the plug from the wall socket. Automatic switch-off If the appliance is switched on but not being used for a certain period of time, it will automatically switch off. This automatic switch-off is indicated by an acoustic signal; in addition, the green indicator light is flashing. As soon as the appliance is moved, it will switch on again. Horizontal position: With the iron standing on its soleplate, it will switch off after approx 30 seconds of inactivity. [. . . ] - Pour any remaining water out of the reservoir through the water fill hole. To avoid damage to the soleplate, store the steam iron in upright position on its base stand.
