1. Before first use. Remove all 
adhesive remains and gently rub 
with a dampened cloth. Position the 
steam generator iron horizontally 
on the ironing-board or on a heat 
resistant, secure surface at the same 
height as an ironing-board. Unwind 
and straighten the power cord and 
the steam cord. When turned on for 
the first time, temporary vapours/
odours may occur. 2. Open the water tank lid. Fill 
the water tank using cold water. 
It is recommended to use AEG 
AquaSense filtered water, taking 
out impurities like limescale. 
Otherwise use destilled water. If 
the tap water is particularly hard, 
use a mix of 50% destilled water 
and 50% tap water. Empty the 
water tank to rinse out any foreign 
particles which may remain from 
the manufacturing process.3. Always refill the water tank to 
MAX level using cold water (A). 
Replace the water tank lid. 
 Caution! Never operate the 
appliance without any water in the 
tank.
4. Connect the steam generator iron 
to the mains supply. Press the power 
button  (A). Turn the temperature 
selector clockwise to maximum 
setting (B). The temperature 
indicator light on the iron will 
illuminate. Then, select a steam level 
by turning the 
steam level control 
knob between low - medium - high 
steam (C).
5. When the temperature indicator 
light turns on, the steam station is 
pre-heating. When the light turns off, 
it is ready to be used. Press and hold 
the steam button for some seconds 
to get steam. Then hold for a few 
more seconds in order to clean the 
steam generating system.6. Iron an old towel, to ensure that 
any residues inside the iron are not 
transferred to the laundry. 
 If necessary, wipe the soleplate with 
a slightly damp cloth.

Operating instructions
7. To activate the steam function, 
press the steam button for 3-5 
seconds, release the button to eject 
a concentrated jet of steam. When 
releasing the button, use up the 
steam before putting it back on 
the iron rest of the steam station. 
It is recommended that the steam 
button is used for short periods.  
Caution! Never release steam while 
the iron is standing on its rest.8. Continuous (AUTO) steam 
function: Press and hold the 
steam button, and move the steam 
activation slider forward, to lock 
the steam button. Release both 
buttons. A jet steam will eject 
continuously and steadily (AUTO 
STEAM). To unlock the steam button 
and stop the continuous jet steam, 
press the steam activation slider 
backwards.9. Turn off the station by pressing 
the button for a while and 
release.
10. Always cool the iron fully on the 
iron rest before stowing away. Once 
the iron is cool, empty the water 
tank. Store the steam generator iron 
on the iron rest.11. Always store the cord by the cord 
storage on the generator base. 
NEVER wind the power cord around 
the iron.12. Always store iron on its heel rest.   
To clean exterior surfaces, use a 
damp soft cloth and wipe dry.  
Caution: Do not use any chemical 
solvents, as these will damage the 
surface.

1. Position the appliance so that the 
boiler safety cap is uppermost. 
Remove the rubber cover, unscrew 
the boiler safety cap using the flat 
key enclosed in the bottom. Turn 
the appliance upside-down over 
a sink and completely empty the 
boiler. 2. Mix a descaler agent and water 
at the specified ratio, prepare at 
least 300ml descaler mixture. (Use 
recommended ratio for the mixture, 
if there is much scaling, properly 
increase the proportion of descaler.) 
Note: We recommend to use the 
descaler ECF5 from AEG. Please 
follow the water/ descaler liquid 
ratio instructions on the bottle. We 
recommend to clean the product 
every 2 months.3. Fill the mixture into the boiler 
and tighten the boiler safety cap. 
Soak for one to two hours under 
room temperature (increase the 
soaking time if necessary; max 8 
hours). 
5. When finished using the 
appliance, turn the temperature 
dial to the OFF (“MIN“) position. 
Store the iron on the iron rest.
  Note: Do not store the iron with 
water in the tank.4. Pour out the mixture. Fill the boiler 
with clean water, then pour it out. 
Repeat this step for several times 
until the scales are removed and 
there is no longer a descaler smell. 
Place back one measuring cup of 
clean water in the boiler before 
reassembling.
  THE WARRANTY DOES NOT 
COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY 
CLOGGING DUE TO LIME.
  Once cleaning is done, do not keep 
the boiler completely empty but 
leave some water still there (before 
closing it again).

GBProblemPossible cause Solution
Soleplate is not heating even though 
iron is turned on. Connection problem
Check main power supply cable, plug 
and outlet.
Temperature control is in MIN position. Select adequate temperature.
Iron does not produce steam. Not enough water in tank. Fill water tank (see “Getting started”, 
no 2).
Steam control is selected in non-steam 
position (‘MIN’). Set steam control between positions of 
minimum steam and maximum steam.
Selected temperature is lower than that 
specified to use with steam. Increase temperature to at least  
  .
Steam jet and vertical steam jet 
function does not work. Steam jet function was used very 
frequently within a short period. Put iron on horizontal position and 
wait before using steam jet function.
Iron is not hot enough. Adjust the proper temperature to 
steam ironing (up to 
  ). Put iron 
in vertical position and wait until 
temperature indicator light turns off.
Water leaks from the soleplate during 
ironing. The iron is not hot enough.
Set the temperature dial to a 
temperature  
(
   to maximum) suitable for steam 
ironing. Put the iron on its heel and 
wait until the light has gone out before 
you start ironing. 
Flakes and impurities come out of the 
soleplate during ironing. You have used hard water, which has 
caused scale flakes to develop in the 
water tank.  Press and hold the steam button for 
about one minute to get steam. Then 
hold one more minute in order to 
clean the steam generating system.
Iron an old towel, to ensure that 
any residues inside the iron are not 
transferred to the laundry.
Water leaks from the soleplate while 
the iron is cooling down or after it has 
been stored.  The iron has been put in horizontal 
position while there is still water in the 
water tank.  Empty the water tank and set the 
steam control to position off before 
storing the iron. 
Brown streaks come out of the 
soleplate while ironing and stain the 
linen. You have used chemical descaling 
agents.
Do not use any descaling agents.
Fabric fibres have accumulated in the 
holes of the soleplate and are burning. Clean the soleplate with a damp soft 
cloth.
Fabrics might not be properly rinsed or 
the garments are new and have not been 
washed before ironing. Please rinse the laundry properly 
again.
