CORDLESS STEAM IRON  
KH1283  
• When ironing, use only the temperatures detailed in  
the garment care instructions, or those suitable  
for the material. Otherwise, you could damage  
the textiles. Should care instructions not be given  
or known, start with the lowest temperature  
setting.  
Intended Use  
The steam iron is intended exclusively for the ironing  
of textiles. The iron may only be used indoors and  
in private households. All other use is deemed  
improper use.  
• NEVER permit children to use the steam iron.  
• Place the station on a level and heat-resistent sur-  
face. The station must be stable when you place  
the steam iron onto it.  
• Place the steam iron only on the supplied station  
when you put it down.  
Safety instructions  
Risk of electrical shocks.  
• The rating of the local power supply must tally  
completely with the details given on the rating  
plate of the appliance.  
• To avoid potential risks, arrange for a defective  
appliance to be checked and possibly repaired  
by qualified technicians, or contact our Customer  
Service Department.  
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables  
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians  
or our Customer Service Department.  
• To disconnect from the power source, pull only  
on the plug itself, not on the cable.  
• Never bend (kink) or crush the power cable.  
Arrange it in such a way that it cannot come into  
contact with hot surfaces and so that no-one can  
step on or trip over it.  
Risk of burns!  
• Grasp the steam iron only by the handle when it  
is hot.  
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals  
(including children) with restricted physical, physio-  
logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in  
experience and/or knowledge unless they are  
supervised by a person responsible for their safety  
or receive from this person instruction in how the  
appliance is to be used.  
• Children should be supervised to ensure that  
they do not play with the appliance.  
• Never hold your hand over the steam spray or  
on hot metal parts.  
• You should not open the filler opening of the  
water reservoir while the iron is in use. First allow  
the steam iron to cool down and remove the  
plug from the power socket.  
• After every use, before cleaning and when re-  
filling with water, remove the plug from the power  
socket.  
• Always unroll the power cable fully before switching  
on and do not use an extension cable.  
• Never touch the power cable or the power plug  
with wet hands.  
Risk of fire!  
• Never leave the steam iron unattended when it  
is hot or switched on.  
• Put the steam iron into storage only when it has  
cooled down completely.

Tips for utilisation  
In addition to the typical utilisation with a cable,  
you can also separate the steam iron from the cable  
base 8 for a short period to iron textiles which are  
not located close to an electrical power socket.  
Operation  
Filling with mains water  
• In a cooled condition, place the steam iron  
horizontally on its sole e.  
• Slide off the cover of the filler opening for the  
water tank 2.  
To separate the steam iron from the cable base 8:  
• Place the steam iron, with the cable base 8

position  
. The steam iron now allows itself  
to be lifted off. The cable base 8 remains  
combined with the station q.  
Note  
Note:  
Should the mains water at your locality be rated as  
hard, it is recommended that you mix mains water  
with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the  
steam blast function could calcify (become blocked)  
prematurely.  
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix  
mains water with distilled water according to the  
table.  
As the steam iron cannot be heated up without the  
cable base 8, you can only work for a short period  
without the cable base 8. Reconnect the steam iron  
with the cable base 8 as soon as the steam blast  
or the ironing quality diminishes.

• Adjust the steam regulator 3 to maximum steam  
power.  
• Allow the steam iron to heat up until the heat

• Position the steam regulator 3 at the maximal  
steam power level. Press and hold down the  
button Self-clean r. Thereby, steam and boiling  
water flows from the steam exit holes in the sole  
of the iron e. Impurities that may be present are  
washed out.  
• Release the Self-clean button r as soon as all  
of the water has exited.  
• Thoroughly dry the sole of the iron e. For this,  
slide the sole of the iron e back and forth over  
a hand towel or an old piece of material several  
times.  
• Allow the steam iron to cool down before placing  
it in storage.  
Drip-Stop Function  
With conventional steam irons it can happen that  
water drips from the iron sole eat low temperatures.  
This iron however possesses a new equipment charac-  
teristic, the DRIP-STOP function. At low temperatures  
the iron automatically switches off the steam-blast  
function. When this happens, a “CLICK” is to be  
heard. You must then re-set a suitable temperature  
with the temperature controller 7. As soon as this  
is reached, steam production is continued.  
Housing  
Risk of personal injury!  
ALWAYS remove the plug before cleaning the ap-  
pliance. There is a danger of electric shock! Allow  
the appliance to cool down. Risk of Burns!  
• Clean the housing with a soft, dry cloth only.  
Important!  
Do not use aggressive, abrasive or chemical cleaning  
agents. These could attack the surfaces and cause  
irreparable damage to the appliance.
