off the steam and rub off any residue 
immediately with a thickly folded, damp cotton 
cloth.
5. Never use abrasive products or solvents. To 
keep the soleplate (20) smooth, you should 
avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never 
use a scouring pad, or chemicals to clean the 
soleplate.
6. Storing the appliance 
 
See the leaflet sides
1. Always allow the appliance to cool down 
before storing it.
2. Set the main power button to the “0” position 
(the red light will go off) and disconnect the 
mains cable.
3. Empty the water tank.
4. 
Model dependent: Place the iron on the iron 
pad (2), standing on the soleplate, and fix it by 
inserting the tip of the iron into the front slot 
and moving the lock lever (14*) against the 
heel of the iron.  
Use the iron´s handle when moving the 
appliance.
5. Store the mains cable in the storage 
compartment (5) and the steam hose in the 
storage fixing (3). Do not wrap the cords too 
tight.
Tips to help you save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To 
help minimise the energy used, follow the advice 
below:
•  Start by ironing the fabrics that require the 
lowest ironing temperature. 
Check the recommended ironing temperature 
in the label on the garment.
•  Regulate the steam according to the selected 
ironing temperature, following the instructions 
in this manual.
•  Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp 
and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be 
generated from the fabrics rather than the iron. 
If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing 
them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’ 
programme.
•  If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the 
steam regulator completely.
5.3.  Rinsing the iron steam 
chamber

Caution! Risk of burns!
This procedure helps to remove scale particles 
out of the steam chamber. 
This cleaning procedure may be performed 
occasionally (approximately once a year), when 
after a long period of use with very hard water, 
scale particles start to come out of the soleplate.
Ensure that the iron is cooled down.
Set the temperature selector (16) of the iron to 
the “min” position. 
Fill the tank with tap water. 
Plug in the mains cable and set the main 
power switch (13) to the “I” position.
Wait until the “steam ready” indicator lamp (9) 
lights up. 
If the steam station has steam regulator (11*), 
set it to the maximum position  . 
Hold the iron over the sink or a container to 
collect the water.
Press the steam release button (17) and 
gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam 
will come out, carrying scale and or deposits 
that might be there. This could take 
approximately 5 minutes.
Set the temperature selector (16) of the iron to 
the “max” position, without pressing the steam 
release button (17). The water in the steam 
chamber will start evaporating. Wait until all 
the water inside the chamber has been 
evaporated.
To clean the soleplate, immediately rub off any 
residue by running the hot iron over dry cotton 
cloth.

Attention! Risk of burns!
 
Always unplug the appliance from the 
mains supply before carrying out any 
cleaning or maintenance operation on it.
1. After ironing, pull out the plug and allow the 
appliance to cool down before cleaning.
2. Wipe the housing, handle and iron body with a 
damp cotton cloth.
3. If the soleplate is soiled with dirt or scale, clean 
it with a damp cotton cloth.
4. If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the 
high temperature on the soleplate (20). Switch
