Important

• Read the instructions for use and look at the illustrations

before you start using the steam iron.

• To prevent damage: check if the voltage indicated on the

appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before you

connect the appliance.

• Never use the iron if it is damaged or does not function

properly.

• Make sure that children cannot touch the hot appliance and

that they cannot pull at the mains cord.

• The ejected steam is very hot and therefore dangerous. Never

direct the steam at people.

• Remove the mains plug from the socket before you fill the iron

with water and before you pour out the remaining water after

use.

• Never immerse the iron in water.

• When you have finished ironing and also when you leave the

iron for even a short while, always:

- set the steam control dial to position O

- put the iron on its heel

- remove the mains plug from the wall socket

• Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased. As a result,

the iron may smoke slightly when you use it for the first time.

This phenomenon is harmless and will soon cease.

• Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate before

you use the appliance for the first time. Clean the soleplate with

a soft cloth.

• Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water

reservoir.

• Do not use chemically descaled water for steaming.

• Do not allow the cord to touch the soleplate when it is hot.

• If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it may only be

replaced by an authorised service centre, as repair requires

special tools and/or parts.

Filling with water (for steam-ironing and spraying)

• Use tap water the first time you fill the iron.

• After the first time, you can still use tap water. However, if the water is

very hard (harder than 17° DH / 21° Clarke), it is advisable to use

demineralised or distilled water, which can be obtained from e.g.

chemists.

• Unplug the iron before filling it. Set the steam control (B) to position O

(= no steam).

• Open the lid of the filling opening (fig. 2).

• Fill the filling jug (M) with water (max. 240 ml). Hold the iron in a tilted

position and pour the water into the filling opening (fig. 3).

• Close the lid of the filling opening (fig. 4).

Ironing temperature

• First check if the article to be ironed contains a label with ironing

instructions (see table). Always follow the instructions on the label.

• If there are no ironing instructions but you do know what kind of fabric

the article is made of, you can use the table below.

• The table is valid for plain materials only; it does not take into account

any kind of finish (gloss, crinkle, relief, etc.) that has been applied to the

material. Materials to which some kind of finish has been applied, are

best ironed at lower temperatures.

• Sort the laundry according to the ironing temperature allowed before

you start ironing.

Vertical shot

of steam

The iron heats up more quickly than it cools down, so always start with

the fabrics that require the lowest ironing temperature (synthetic

fabrics).

• If the article consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the

temperature required by the most delicate fibre (so the lowest

temperature). If, for example, a piece of fabric consists of 60% polyester

and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature required by

polyester (11) without any steam.

If you are not sure what fabric the article to be ironed is made of, find

out which temperature is appropriate (starting at a relatively low

temperature) by ironing a piece of material that will not be visible when

you wear or use the article.

• 100% woollen fabrics may be pressed with the iron set to a steam

position. It is advisable to set the steam control to position 2 and to use

a dry pressing cloth.

When woollen fabrics are steam-ironed, shiny patches may occur. You

can prevent this by ironing the article inside out.

• Velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches should be

ironed in one direction only (along with the nap) without exerting any

pressure. Keep the iron moving constantly.

• Synthetic materials and silk should preferably be ironed inside out to

prevent the fabric from becoming shiny. Do not spray any water onto the

fabric since this might cause stains.

Setting the temperature

- Put the iron on its heel.

- Set the temperature control dial (A) to the temperature as indicated on

the label of the article or in the table (fig. 5).

- Put the mains plug in the socket.

- The iron is ready to be used as soon as the orange temperature pilot

light (H) has gone out and then comes on again.

Type HI 444: the iron is ready to be used as soon as the orange pilot

light (P) has gone out and then comes on again.

• While you are ironing, the orange pilot light will go on from time to time.

• If you set the temperature control dial to a lower setting after ironing at a

high temperature, do not begin ironing again until the orange pilot light

has come on and has gone out again.

Spraying

By pressing the spray button TT (C) a few times, you can moisten the

article to be ironed at any selected temperature (fig. 6). Make sure there

is enough water in the water reservoir.

Steam-ironing

• As the temperature control dial (A) and the table indicate, steam-ironing

is only possible at higher ironing temperatures:

22to 33for a little steam.

33to MAX for a lot of steam.

• If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip from the soleplate

of the iron. This may cause stains. The HI 424, HI 434 and HI 444 irons

have been equipped with a ‘Drip Stop’ steam shut-off system, which

will automatically stop the iron from steaming if the selected

temperature is too low. When this happens, you may hear a ‘click’.

Now set the temperature control dial (A) to the recommended setting.

The steaming will start again as soon as the iron has reached the

appropriate (higher) temperature.

• Make sure there is enough water in the water reservoir (J).

- Put the iron on its heel.

- Set the temperature control dial (A) to one of the settings in the ‘steam

area’ (22to MAX) (fig. 7).

- Put the mains plug into the socket.

- As soon as the orange temperature pilot light (H) has gone out and then

comes on again you can start ironing.

Type HI 444: the iron is ready to be used as soon as the orange pilot

light (P) has gone out and then comes on again.

- Set the steam control dial (B) to the desired position (fig. 8).

Shot of steam

When you press the shot-of-steam button U (E), a powerful burst of

steam will be ejected from the soleplate (fig. 9). This function is very

useful, e.g. for removing stubborn creases.

The shot-of-steam function can only be used when the iron has been set

to a high temperature (settings 22to MAX).

Vertical shot of steam

The shot-of-steam function can also be used when the iron is held in

vertical position (fig. 10). This is very useful if you want to remove creases

from hanging curtains, clothes etc. (settings 33to MAX).

Ironing without steam

If you want to iron without steam, follow the same procedure as described

for steam-ironing, yet set the steam control dial to position O(= no

steam).

“Auto Stop” automatic safety shut-off

(Only for type HI 444)

If the iron is not moved for some time, the heating element is shut off

automatically. To indicate that the appliance has switched itself off, the

red auto-stop pilot light (O) will start to blink (fig. 11).

If the iron is in horizontal position, it will be shut off after 30 seconds.

If the iron is in vertical position, it will be shut off after 8 minutes.

• When you pick up the iron again, the red auto-stop pilot light (O) will go

out.

• The orange temperature pilot light (P) will go on, indicating that the iron

is heating up again.

• Wait for the orange temperature pilot light (P) to go out before you start

ironing again.

Maintenance

• It is important to clean the appliance at least once every two weeks by

means of the self-clean function to remove scale and other impurities.

• Depending on the hardness of the water used to fill the iron with, you

will have to use the self-clean function more often. The harder the

water, the more the iron will have to be descaled.

Self-cleaning

- Set the stream control dial (B) to O(= no steam).

- Open the lid of the filling opening (F) and fill the water reservoir (J) to

the maximum level (MAX).

- Close the lid of the filling opening (F).

- Set the temperature control dial (A) to MAX.

- Put the mains plug in the socket.

- Leave the iron to heat up until the orange temperature pilot light (H)

has gone out (pilot light (P) for type HI 444).

- Unplug the appliance.

- Hold the iron horizontally over the sink.

- Press the self-clean button (I) (fig. 12) and keep pressing it. Boiling

water and steam will now be ejected through the vents in the soleplate,

washing away impurities and scale (if any) from the iron.

- Gently shake the iron from side to side while it is self-cleaning.

- Release the self-clean button after one minute or if the water reservoir

is empty.

- If the water reservoir still contains scale or other impurities, repeat the

self-clean procedure.

- After the self-clean procedure, put the iron on its heel.

- Put the mains plug in the socket again and leave the iron to heat up

again.

- Move the iron backwards and forwards over an (old) cloth to make sure

that the soleplate is dry when you put the iron away.

• Types HI 434/444 only: the built-in Anti Calc Cassette guarantees a

longer working life of the appliance.
