INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Filling the Tank Before Use:

• Warning: Make sure the iron is unplugged from the supply mains before filling the tank with water.
• Set the steam control knob (C) onto “0” (Fig. 2).
• Open the door (B) by pushing it upwards and, holding the iron horizontally, fill the water tank up to the maximum level using the measuring cup (F) provided (Fig. 5).
• Close the cover (B) again. If your tap water is very hard, use demineralized water. NEVER exceed the MAX mark when filling the tank.
• Do not pour vinegar, descalers, or other scented substances into the tank; under penalty of immediate cancellation of the warranty.
• If it proves necessary to add water while ironing, always turn off the iron and unplug the power cord before filling the tank with water.
• Open the water filling cover and turn the iron upside down to empty the tank.

Turning On the Appliance:

• It is possible that there white powder leaks from the soleplate the first time the iron is used; this is normal, and the effect will disappear after a few jets of steam.
• You may notice a delay in the formation of steam the first time the iron is used; this is normal and is because the water starts to circulate inside the iron. It may be necessary to press the steam and spray button a few times for it to operate correctly.
• Rest the iron upright on the iron stand (1) (Fig. /).
• Plug it into the socket. The temperature control lamp (J) turns on.
• Select the desired temperature by turning the temperature adjustment knob (K), lining it up with the reference (G) on the iron. When the iron reaches the selected temperature, the lamp (J) turns off (the temperature lamp turns off and on while ironing, indicating that the iron is maintaining the right temperature).
• Follow the instructions on the care label of the garment to be ironed so that the dots shown on the iron correspond to those shown on the label.

Ironing Tips and Suggestions

1. Avoid Hard Objects:
   • Do not run the iron over zippers or other objects made of hard material to prevent damage to the anti-adherent coating.
2. Organize by Material:
   • Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material, such as wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
3. Temperature Control:
   • Start with fabrics that require lower temperatures and gradually move on to those requiring higher temperatures since the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down.
4. Mixed Fiber Materials:
   • If the material is made up of more than one type of fiber, set the temperature to the fiber that requires less heat. For example, if the material is 70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to the position (°) for synthetic fabrics without steam.
5. Unknown Material Composition:
   • If you don’t know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose an inconspicuous part and do a test ironing to determine the appropriate temperature. Always start with a relatively low temperature and adjust until the ideal temperature is reached.
6. Ironing Pure Wool:
   • Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one of the steam positions. To prevent shine on pure wool, silk, and synthetic materials, iron them on the reverse side.
7. Preventing Shine on Materials:
   • For materials prone to becoming shiny, like velvet, cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction only, using light pressure. Keep the iron constantly moving over the fabric.

Note:

• The symbol on the label indicating “cannot be ironed” (e.g., chlorofibre, elastodiene) should be heeded and not ironed.

Steam Ironing Instructions

Temperature Preparation:

• Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures.
• Ensure that there is enough water in the water tank.
