Before using the Iron for the first time
Please carry out the following steps:
1. Remove the protective cover from the soleplate before using the
iron.
2. While the iron is unplugged, fill the water tank (E) with tap water and
set the temperature control (I) to "max" by lining it up with the pointer
(H).
3. Plug the appliance into the mains and when the iron has reached the
correct temperature (the pilot light [K] goes out), set the steam regulator
(A) to the "2" position.
4. Hold the iron horizontally and repeatedly press the shot of steam button
(L). Any residue should come out of the soleplate (G). It may smoke
and smell – this is normal and will cease after a short while.
5. If necessary, carefully clean the soleplate down with a dry, folded
cloth.
