The traffic lights tells you whether the soleplate is at the
selected temperature (see table below).
Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate protector!
Before ironing for the first time heat the appliance at the
maximum setting (see D "Setting the temperature").
A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this
is only temporary. The water tank can then be filled
directly (see C "Filling with water/topping up").

.
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 tempe-
rature for the most delicate fabric.
What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using tap water.
However, if your water is very hard, you can mix it 50%
tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
Do not 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 water to your iron.

D1 Electronic temperature control (Thermo Control)
On your electronic iron you can set the precise ideal tem-
perature for each material. The different types of material
are shown on the temperature control dial:
E3 Intra Steam
Your iron is fitted with the new Intra Steam system. This
technology generates higher steam pressure to enable the
steam to penetrate much faster and further into the fabric.
This way you get excellent results from your ironing.
The steam is emitted in frequent bursts rather than conti-
nuously. The pressure generated may cause a slight noise.
This is not a technical fault!
E4 Power steam button (from temperature setting •• up)
To generate a powerful jet of steam and remove stubborn
creases, press the power steam button.
The soleplate of your iron is fitted with an electronic sen-
sor which continuously monitors the temperature of the
soleplate and keeps it at the precise selected setting. This
enables you always to iron at the optimum temperature.
Vertical steam ironing (from temperature setting •• up)
Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts,
hanging curtains etc.
Important:
Never steam or iron clothing that is being worn!
- Hang up the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric
slightly taut with one hand.
- Set the thermostat control to maximum steam
- Hold the iron a few centimetres away from the garment
to avoid burning delicate fabrics.
- Press the power steam button repeatedly, moving the

iron from top to bottom.
The power steam and vertical steam functions (E 4) are
also possible if the steam control is set to . The interval
between bursts of steam should be about two seconds.

Important: If the appliance has been standing unused for
long periods, hold it horizontal and allow it to emit
steam for approx. 1 minute to clean the steam ducts and
remove any residue from the iron.
