• Wait for the product to cool completely before putting it away.

WARNING!
Risk of fire. Wait for the appliance to cool completely before storing it.

• Remove the tank using the relative handle on the base.
• Drain off all the water in the tank.
• Reconnect the tank to the appliance base.

MAINTENANCE

Respect the safety warnings when following the procedure below.

CALC CLEAN SYSTEM – Scale removal function.
The scale must be removed whenever the Calc Clean indicator light button (5) begins flashing and the appliance emits an intermittent acoustic signal.

Make sure there is water in the tank, and that the temperature knob is set to the CALC CLEAN /MAX position.

Hold the iron above a container or the sink, and press the CALC CLEAN button for about 2 seconds. The red indicator light will remain fixed and the iron will begin the cleaning phase (which lasts about 2 minutes). During this time, water, steam and scale particles will emerge from the plate. Do not move the iron until the cleaning process has ended.

When the acoustic signal and the indicator light go off, this means the cleaning process has been completed. Before starting to iron again, wipe the plate with a cotton cloth to remove any residue.

NOTE:
The CALC CLEAN indicator light button is only active when the memo is activated, illuminating the indicator light and emitting the acoustic signal. Do not leave the appliance unattended while the CALC CLEAN function is active. Do not interrupt the CALC CLEAN process once it has begun.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Make sure the power supply cable plug (1) is inserted correctly, or try inserting it in another socket.
Check the temperature adjustment knob

(8) is not set at the minimum temperature.

The plate temperature indicator light (6) switches on and off.| Normal procedure.| The indicator light switches on and off to indicate the heating phase of the iron.

The LED goes off once the set temperature

is reached.

Impurities emerge from the holes, dirtying the fabrics.| Chemical additives, scented liquids or descaling agents are being used.| These substances damage the appliance. Do not add additives to the water.
Starch is being used.| Always spray the starch on the reverse side of the fabric.
Water leaks from the plate.| The plate (8) temperature setting is too low.| Rotate the temperature adjustment knob

(8) to    or MAX.

The steam request button (4) has been over-used.| Wait slightly longer between one steam jet request and the next.
The iron emits an acoustic signal and the CALC CLEAN indicator light flashes.| It’s time to use the CALC CLEAN function.| Refer to the Maintenance and Storage chapter.

DISPOSAL
The appliance packaging is made of recyclable materials. Dispose of the packaging in accordance with the environmental protection regulations. Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life.

The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling center for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the user can hand over the appliance to the retailer when a new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over electronic products measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at least 400 m2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent procedure for the decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes treatment and environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that the appliance consists of.

SUPPORT AND WARRANTY

The appliance is guaranteed for a period of two years from the date of delivery. This date is taken as the date on the receipt/invoice (as long as it is clearly legible), unless the purchaser can prove that delivery was made at a later date.

In the event of a product flaw already present at the time of delivery, the cost-free repair or replacement of the appliance is guaranteed unless one of the two solutions is out of proportion with the other. The purchaser is responsible for informing an authorized assistance center about the conformity flaw within two months of discovering it.
The warranty does not cover parts that may be faulty due to:

• damage from transport or accidental drops,
• incorrect installation or inadequate electrical system,
• repairs or modifications performed by unauthorized personnel,
• cleaning and maintenance not carried out, or carried out badly
• products and/or product parts subject to wear and/or consumables, including the reduced operating time of the batteries (if installed) due to usage or age,
• non-observance of the operating instructions for the appliance, negligent or careless usage,
• the water used is different from that described in the manual,
• thinner, scented liquids or descaling agents are used,
• plate damage caused by ironing unsuitable fabrics or with inadequate temperatures for the fabric.

The above list merely gives examples; it is not complete, as this warranty in any case does not cover circumstances that cannot be traced back to manufacturing flaws. In addition, this warranty is not considered valid in cases of improper appliance use or professional use. No responsibility can be taken for any harm or damage caused directly or indirectly to people, pets, or property as a result of the failure to observe all the indications given in the “Instructions and warnings booklet” with regard to the installation, use, and maintenance of the appliance.

This does not apply to contract warranty actions in relation to the seller.

Assistance
The appliance may only be repaired by an authorized service center. If the faulty appliance is under warranty, it must be sent to the assistance center along with a fiscal document proving the date of purchase or delivery.
