IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Use caution when the appliance is heated, if you come in contactwith the soleplate of the iron or the steamer jets you could beburned. The warning symbol "Hot surface" ( ) on the iron indicatesthat it is hot. Do not use solely demineralized water (e.g. distilled, battery water) to fill the water container. This could cause the steam ironingsystem to malfunction. Always place the iron with its soleplate horizontally on the restingsurface of the steam ironing system. Ensure the steam function isswitched off and the soleplate does not protrude over the edges. Donot place the iron anywhere else as this presents a fire hazard! Risk of burning! If the iron remains on the resting surface forlonger period of time, the surface will become hot. Avoid direct contact with the resting surface. Danger of burning! Never direct the steam or the steam jets or thesteam nozzles of the iron or steamer at people, animals or electricalappliances of any kind. Risk of burning! Never point the steam jet at clothing while theclothes are being worn! The clothing will intensify burning of skin. Switch off the steam ironing system before disconnecting thepower cable.

TransportThe steam ironing system is fitted withtwo wheels. This allows the applianceto be pulled across an even surfacewhen folded up. When transporting the appliance, useboth handles on the underside of theappliance. The steam ironing system must Hold the steam iron system by itshandle and tip it gently towards youuntil the wheels are free to roll.This allows you to navigate easilyacross obstacles such as carpet edges,door sills or single steps.

Before first use Before using the steam ironing system for the first time, remove allpackaging (e.g., the protective foilfrom the tower).Using the test strips to determine thewater hardnessDetermining the water hardnessTo ensure the steam ironing system willfunction properly and the descaling reminder appears at the appropriate time,the appliance must be set to the waterhardness level of your local water supply.The water hardness level indicateshow much calcium is dissolved in thewater. The higher the calcium content,the harder the water. The harder thewater, the more often the appliancemust be descaled.Your local water supplier can inform youof the water hardness level in your area.This information can also be found onthe internet and the home page of therelevant utility company.As an alternative, you may also determine the approximate water hardnessby using the test strips included in thedelivery. Dip the test strip for approx. 1 secondinto the water. Remove the test strip from the waterand shake the water off the test strip.After approx. 1 minute, and based onthe coloration, you will be able to readthe water hardness from the table below:Test stripWater hardness4 green areas 3 gpg (3 dH)1 red area 4 gpg (4 dH)2 red areas 7 gpg (7 dH)3 red areas 15 gpg (14 dH)4 red areas 22 gpg (21 dH)Tip: It is useful to know your waterhardness so that you can provide theservice technician with this informationin the event of any service calls.
