[. . . ] Burns can occur from touching the hot parts of the housing or the soleplate and from hot water or steam. Always place the appliance on a heatresistant surface during operation. Do not position the appliance on or near hot surfaces or open flames such as hot-plates or gas flames. Always remove the plug from the wall socket - after use, - in case of any malfunction, - before cleaning the appliance. [. . . ] €“ Fill the empty water reservoir using the measuring cup provided. Fill the reservoir to the indicated ‘Max’ level only. Anti-drip function If the temperature of the soleplate is not sufficient to produce steam, the water supply is cut off automatically to prevent dripping. 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. 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. If the laundry is being dried in a dryer before ironing, the temperature should be adjusted to ‘iron dry’. 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 and the steam jet function both involve high temperatures. The suitable temperature range is between the steam symbol ( ) and the ‘Max’ setting. €“ 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 indicator lamp will show red. It will change to green 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 with the steam control button or completely switched off for dry ironing ( ). 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. Horizontal position: With the iron standing on its sole plate, it will switch off after approx 30 seconds of inactivity. Vertical position: When upright on its base stand, the iron will switch off after approx. Soleplate with extra-fine tip The fine-tipped soleplate allows for ironing even hard-to-reach areas such as around button panels or zippers. [. . . ] €“ 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.
