•  When first used someday our may be emitted, after a short while, however, this will cease.

• Use iron only for its intended use.

• To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.

•  The iron should always be turned to a minimum before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never pull the cord to disconnect from the electrical outlet instead, grasp the plug, and pull to disconnect.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. High temperatures are generated during use which could cause burns.

• Always use the handle and warn others (especially children) of the possible dangers of burns from steam, hot water or the soleplate, especially when ironing vertically.

• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when not in use.

• Store the unit out of reach of children.

• Do not allow the power cord to hang down over edges where it can be reached by children.

Instructions for Use

The product has many functions such as temperature regulating, dry ironing, variable steam, bursting steam, etc. When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an
ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

First sort items to be ironed, according to the International Textile Care Labeling Code.
Use

• Stand the iron on its heel and turn the temperature dial to a minimum. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
• Select the temperature setting required by rotating the temperature dial so that the desired setting is aligned with the heating indicator P7 – fig.1.
• The control light will glow showing that the iron is heating up. When it goes out, the iron has reached the selected temperature and is ready for use. The light will glow and go out as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature.

IMPORTANT:
The steam iron incorporates a thermal safety fuse to protect steam iron from overheating. However, the iron should not be left unattended while it is connected to an electrical outlet. Special care should always be taken when there are children in the home.

FILLING WITH WATER

• First, ensure that the iron is disconnected from the electricity supply before filling it with water.
• Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special filling beaker and take care not to go over the maximum level (about 40ml), fig. 2.
• Push firmly to close the water filling inlet cover.
• During the ironing process, always ensure there is sufficient water in the water tank.

DRY-IRONING
Turn the steam selector to position this and shuts off the steam flow, should there be any water in the tank. Select the temperature setting most suitable for the fabric to be ironed. Once the temperature has been reached, ironing may commence. warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand by putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining.
STEAM-IRONING
As per the indications on the temperature dial and table A (see section „Setting the temperature“) that steam-ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures.
– Plug into the mains supply and switch it on.
– Set the temperature dial at the required position within the steam area ( or ) and wait until the heating indicator light has gone out.
– Set the steam selector to the position
. You can then begin steam ironing.
SURGE OF STEAM
The Surge of Steam provides an extra burst of steam which is ideal for removal of stubborn creases and wrinkles during STEAM or DRY ironing.
– Turn the temperature setting to the hottest setting within the steam area and wait until the heating indicator light goes out.
– Lift the iron slightly above the surface of the fabric, press the Surge of Steam button down firmly and then release it during ironing (Fig.3).
An intense „burst“ of steam penetrates deep into the fabric. For optimum steam quality, leave an interval of at least four seconds between pressing the Surge of a Steam button.
warning: the shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emission when the plate temperature control light (P7) comes on, then start ironing again only after the light has gone off.

ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING

• We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).
• If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature of the fiber requiring the lower temperature.
• If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
• Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.
• To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.
• To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fiber) and do not press down on the iron.
• The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased. This also happens when the spin-drying revolutions are very high.
• Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
• For example, silk should always be ironed damp.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

AFTER USE

• Set the steam selector knob to
• Disconnect from the mains supply.
• Open the water filling inlet cover.
• Invert the iron and shake the iron to empty the water tank (fig.4), and then stand the iron in an upright position to allow to cool.
• Always store the iron (with water emptied from the water tank) on its heel rest, not on the soleplate. Even the smallest amount of moisture will cause corrosion and staining of the soleplate if the iron is stored with the soleplate facing downwards.
• Any deposits, starch residue, or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or an unabrasive liquid detergent.
• The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth and then wiped over with a dry cloth.
• Press the button and turn the handle to the low position (Fig. 5).

CARE AND CLEANING

• Disconnect from the main supply by removing the plug.
• Certain fabric finish residues may build up on the soleplate, these may be removed by cleaning with a rough cloth soaked in a vinegar water solution. Dry with a cloth.
• Do not use abrasives or scouring pads to clean the soleplate. Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact with metal objects. Do not scratch or damage the surface of the soleplate.
• Wipe the outside housing with a damp cloth and polish with a dry one. Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaners as they may damage the surface of the iron.
• Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
• To clean steam holes – simply use a damp cloth to wipe away any build-up of lint or starch from inside steam holes.

Troubleshooting
