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 (B) to “0” (Fig. 2).
• Open the door (A) by pushing it upwards and, holding the iron horizontally, fill the water tank up to the maximum level using the measuring cup (P) provided (Fig. 5).
• Close the cover (A) again. If your tap water is very hard, use natural 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 (H) (Fig. 7).
• Plug it into the socket. The temperature control lamp (E) turns on.
• Select the desired temperature by turning the temperature adjustment knob (F), lining it up with the reference (I) on the iron. When the iron reaches the selected temperature, the lamp (E) 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. Suggestions
• Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc…
• Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is advisable to start with those fabrics which require lower temperatures and move on to those which require progressively higher temperatures.

Suggestions

• Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc…
• Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is advisable to start with those fabrics which require lower temperatures and move on to those which require progressively higher temperatures.
• If the material is made up of more than one type of fibre, always set the temperature to the fibre which requires less heat. For example, if the material is made up of 70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to position(•) (see table) without steam, that is, the temperature for synthetic fabrics.
• If you do not know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a part of the article which will not be seen. Do a test ironing on this part to establish the appropriate temperature (always start with a relatively low temperature and work up until the the ideal temperature is reached).
• Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one of the steam positions. To avoid pure wool, silk and synthetic materials becoming shiny, it makes good sense to iron them on the reverse side. For other materials, especially velvet, which can become shiny very easily, cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction only, using light pressure. The iron must be kept constantly moving over the fabric.

Steam Ironing

• Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures.
• Ensure that there is enough water in the water tank.
• Rest the iron upright on the iron stand (H).
• Insert the plug into the wall socket.
• Position the temperature adjustment knob (F) on position(•••) or higher.
• When the temperature control lamp (E) turns off, move the steam adjustment selector (B) to the desired position. You get maximum steam dispensing by moving the selector to the “MAX” position.
• Steam is not dispensed when it is moved to (Fig. 2).

Shot of steam
If there is water in the tank and the temperature is set to (•••) or on a higher level, all you have to do is press the steam button (C).

Spray button
Make sure the steam adjustment selector is set on “0” and that there is water in the tank. Press the spray button (D).
It may be necessary to press the spray button repeatedly to activate this function.

DRY IRONING
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Move the steam adjusting knob (B) onto “0”. Set the temperature control knob (F) according to the type of fabric to be ironed. Wait a few minutes for the soleplate to reach the set temperature.

Vertical ironing

• This special ironing procedure serves to remove creases from curtains, fabrics, etc.
• Set the ironing temperature by turning the adjustment knob (F) past the symbol ( •••). Put the curtain or fabric in the position you want to iron it vertically and press the steam button.
  If the temperature lamp is on, do not press the steam button more than three times in a row.

Warning!

• Do not iron fabrics held by other people.

After ironing

• Turn the temperature control knob (F) to “MIN”.
• Disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
• Put the iron in a vertical position and let it cool down.

Empty the tank: open the water filling cover (A), turn the iron upside- down and let the water pour out (Fig. 8).

Warning!

• Let the iron cool down before emptying the tank: danger of burns.
• Wrap the power cord around the iron without pulling it too tight (Fig. 6).
• Store the iron in a vertical position (Fig. 7).

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

Warning!
Before cleaning, always disconnect the plug from the power point and allow the iron to cool down.
Warning!
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
Warning!
Check the state of the power cable of your iron regularly before using it, and if it is damaged, take it to the service centre closest to you to have it replaced only by specialised personnel.

SELF CLEAN system

• To prolong the life of your iron, we recommend that this procedure be carried out at regular intervals (once or twice a month).
• Fill the tank one-fourth full with water using the measuring cup (P) provided (Fig. 5).
• Set the iron on a stable surface in a vertical position on the iron stand (H). Plug it into the socket. Make sure the steam adjustment selector is set to “0”.
• Position the temperature adjustment knob on “MAX”.
• Heat the iron until the lamp (E) turns off a second time.
• Position the temperature adjustment knob on “MIN”.
• Unplug the iron and keep the iron in a horizontal position on a sink.
• Press the SELF CLEAN button (M) and keep the iron in a horizontal position. Steam and boiling water will come out of the holes of the soleplate. They will remove the lime deposits and impurities that have accumulated inside the soleplate.
• Gently move the iron back and forth until the tank is completely emptied.
• Put the steam adjustment selector back on minimum “0” at the end of the self-cleaning procedure. Put the iron in a vertical position on its stand and wait for the soleplate to cool down completely.
• Make sure that the soleplate is completely dry before storing the iron.
• Before using the iron again, try it on an old piece of cloth to make sure that the soleplate and tank are clean and to allow residual water to vaporize. The warranty does not cover damage caused by clogging due to lime

Cleaning the soleplate and shell

Warning!
Do not use abrasives for cleaning the soleplate. Try and keep the sole plate smooth: avoid contact with metal objects.

Deposits and other residues on the soleplate can be removed with a rough cloth soaked in a vinegar/water solution.
Clean plastic parts with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry them with a dry cloth.
