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"). Before ironing for the first time and after filling and heating up, the iron should be allowed to emit steam for at least 1 minute to remove any impurities. D 2 LED "TRAFFIC LIGHT" DISPLAY The traffic lights tells you whether the soleplate is at the selected temperature (see table below). Colour YELLOW LED display This means: The soleplate is still too cold for the selected material. The soleplate is at the right temperature for the selected material. The soleplate is still too hot for the selected material. What to do You can start ironing now, but the soleplate is not yet at the selected temperature. You can start ironing now. The soleplate is at the optimum temperature for your material. Wait for the iron to cool down to the selected temperature and the LED display to switch to GREEN. GREEN C Filling / topping up water Before filling the water tank, pull out the mains plug and set the steam control to position . Tilt the iron. The filler inlet can easily be opened by pressing the push-button. The inlet will open with a "click". Pour in water up to the max (9) mark. Close the filler inlet by pressing the push-button again, before returning the iron to the horizontal. 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. RED 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 temperature for the most delicate fabric. E Ironing and Steam functions E1 Dry ironing To iron without continuous steam, turn the steam control to and set the temperature to suit the type of material (care points ·, ··, ···). E 2 Steam ironing You can steam iron from temperature setting ·· up. The steam quantity can be set to between (minimum steam quantity) and (maximum steam). We recommend setting to maximum steam quantity only when the iron is at temperature setting ···. 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 continuously. 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. 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 3 iron from top to bottom. D Setting the temperature D 1 Electronic temperature control (Thermo Control) On your electronic iron you can set the precise ideal temperature for each material. The different types of material are shown on the temperature control dial: The soleplate of your iron is fitted with an electronic sensor 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. 2 Innenteil - DX9200 18.02.2003 9:51 Uhr Seite 4 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: Never direct the steam at persons or animals! E5 Spray function To dampen stubborn creases, press the spray button. I Problems? Problems Possible cause Solution Check that the mains plug is properly inserted or try plugging the iron into a different socket. Set the temperature control to a higher temperature (D). Turn the temperature control to the required setting. Fill the water tank (C). No mains supply. The iron is plugged in, but the soleplate of the iron remains cold. The soleplate is not heating up properly. The temperature control is set too low. F Additional functions F1 Anti-Drip system Prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low. F2 Anti-scale system Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and need not be replaced. Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam function. F 3 Automatic electronic 3-position cut-out (depending on model) If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically switch off after the following intervals: After 30 sec., if the iron is standing on the soleplate or lying on its side.
