5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On and Heating

• Press the On/Off button on the base unit. The indicator light will illuminate.
• The appliance will begin to heat up. This typically takes a few minutes. The steam ready indicator light on the iron's handle will stop flashing and remain solid when the iron is ready for use.

5.2 Selecting Ironing Mode (Smart Steam Technology)

The iron features an intuitive control panel on the handle with 5 preset modes:

• Smart Mode: This intelligent mode automatically detects the iron's movement and delivers steam accordingly. Steam is released when the iron moves and stops when it is stationary, providing an optimal balance of steam and temperature for most fabrics.
• Max Mode: For maximum steam output and high temperature, ideal for thick or heavily creased fabrics.
• Normal Mode: A balanced setting for everyday ironing.
• Delicate Mode: Lower steam and temperature for delicate fabrics.
• Eco Mode: Energy-saving mode with reduced steam output.

Press the 'Mode' button on the iron's handle to cycle through these settings. The selected mode will be indicated by an illuminated light.

• The Durilium AirGlide Autoclean soleplate ensures smooth gliding over all fabric types.

The iron can also be used for vertical steaming of hanging garments, curtains, or delicate fabrics. Hold the iron a few centimeters away from the fabric and press the steam trigger.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your appliance.

6.1 Anti-Calc System (Scale Collector)

1. Ensure the appliance is unplugged and completely cool.
2. Unscrew the scale collector cap located on the side of the base unit.
3. Remove the scale collector rod and rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove any limescale deposits.
4. Reinsert the clean scale collector rod and screw the cap back on tightly.
