Check the laundry care label for the fabric type.

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric

an article is made of, determine the right ironing

temperature by ironing a part that is not visible

when you wear or use the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse

side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. To

prevent stains, do not use the spray function.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest

ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic

bres.

Ironing with Ionic DeepSteam (specic

types only)

When you use the Ionic DeepSteam function during

steam ironing, the steam produced is ner than

during regular steam ironing. Fine steam reaches

deeper, especially into thick fabrics. This helps you

to remove stubborn creases easily.

ENGLISH 13

Note: The Ionic DeepSteam function is only effective

when it is used in combination with a steam setting

and a temperature setting between 2 and MAX.

Note: Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function when

you iron without steam and/or at low temperature

settings. However, ironing at low temperatures without

steam with the Ionic DeepSteam function switched on

will not damage the iron.

Note: The Ionic DeepSteam output may vary from time

to time, depending on the ironing temperature.

Features

Spray function

You can use the spray function at any temperature

to moisten the article to be ironed. This helps

remove stubborn creases.

1 Makesurethatthereiswaterinthewater

tank.

2 Pressthespraybuttonseveraltimesto

moisten the article to be ironed.

Steam boost function

A steam boost from the special Steam Tip soleplate

helps remove stubborn creases. The steam boost

enhances the distribution of steam into every part of

your garment.

The steam boost function can only be used at

temperature settings between 3 and MAX.

1 Pressandreleasethesteamboostbutton.

ENGLISH14

Vertical steam boost

1 Youcanalsousethesteamboost

functionwhenyouholdtheironinvertical

position.

This is useful for removing creases from hanging

clothes, curtains etc.

Never direct the steam at people.

Drip stop

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the

iron automatically stops producing steam when

the temperature is too low, to prevent water from

dripping out of the soleplate. When this happens,

you may hear a sound.

Automatic shut-off function (specic types only)

The automatic shut-off function automatically switches

off the iron if it has not been moved for a while.

the steam vents. This tablet is constantly active and

does not need to be replaced.

- The Calc-Clean function removes the scale

particles from the iron.

Using the Calc-Clean function

Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks.

If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. when akes

come out of the soleplate during ironing), use the

Calc-Clean function more frequently.
