IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your steam iron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
- Only use the iron for its intended purpose.
- To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
- The iron should always be turned to `Off’ before plugging or unplugging from the power socket. Never pull on the power cord to disconnect from the socket; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
- Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting it away. Loop the power cord loosely around the iron when storing.
- Always disconnect the iron from the power socket when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
- Do not operate the iron if the power cord is damaged or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; take it to a qualified service technician for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
- Close supervision is necessary for any appliance that is used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while plugged in or on an ironing board.
- Burns can result from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down there may be hot water in the reservoir.
- If the fault indicator light comes on, the iron is not operating normally. Disconnect from the power supply and have the iron serviced by qualified service personnel.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
- To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
- If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the power cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
More specifically:
DO NOT let children or untrained persons use the appliance without
supervision. NEVER immerse the iron, power cord or plug in any liquid.
DO NOT leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very inflammable surfaces.
DO NOT leave the appliance unnecessarily plugged in. Disconnect the plug from
the mains supply when the appliance is not being used.
NEVER touch the appliance with wet or damp hands.
DO NOT use the power cord or the appliance in order to pull the plug out of
the socket.
DO NOT leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc.)
DO NOT leave the iron unsupervised when it is plugged in.
DO NOT fill the reservoir with water before removing the plug from the socket.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifies. Failure to
follow the above instructions will invalidate the guarantee.

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and
prevents scale build-up in the soleplate. The resin filter is permanent and
does not need replacing.
Please note: Only use tap water. Distilled and/demineralized water makes the “Zero-Calc” anti-calc system ineffective by altering its chemical properties. Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifies. Failure to follow the above instructions will invalidate the guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
The anti-drip system lets you iron even the most delicate fabrics perfectly. Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The soleplate may cool down to the point where no more steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the anti-drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
The automatic shut-off device trips after the iron has been left for around 8
minutes in the upright position or if it is unused for around 30 seconds in
the horizontal position. The light comes on to indicate that the iron has been
turned off. As soon as you move the iron, the device turns off and the iron
starts working again.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight wisp 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.
PREPARATIONS
Sort the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the
garment label, or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric. Start
ironing the garments that require a low temperature. This reduces the waiting
time (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates
the risk of scorching the fabric.
STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
– Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
– Move the steam selector (C) to “0” [Fig. 5].
– Open the lid (B).
– Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without over-
flowing.
– Slowly pour water into the reservoir using the special measure and taking
care not to go over the maximum level (about 320 ml) indicated by “MAX” on the
reservoir [Fig. 1].
– Close the lid (B).
SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE.
– Put the iron in a vertical position.
– Put the plug in the socket.
– Adjust the temperature dial (J) according to the international symbol on the
garment label [Fig. 3]. The LED light on the iron indicates that the iron is
heating up. Wait until the LED light turns green before ironing.
Warning: during ironing, the LED light turns red at intervals, indicating that
the selected temperature is being maintained. If you lower the thermostat
temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until
the LED light turns green again.
SELECTING STEAM.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam dial (C).
– Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending
on the quantity of steam required and the temperature selected [Fig. 5].
Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron
horizontally. You can stop continuous steaming by placing the iron in a
vertical position or by moving the steam selector to “0”. As indicated on the
temperature dial (J) and in the initial table, you can only use steam at the
highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip
onto the soleplate.
SELECTING STEAM SHOT AND STEAM WHEN IRONING VERTICALLY.
Press the steam shot button (E) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again [Fig. 4]. By pressing the steam shot button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung garments, etc.) [Fig. 6]. Warning: the steam shot function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop using steam shot when the LED light showing red and only start ironing again only after the light is green.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in the section “steam ironing”,
leaving the steam selector (C) at position “0”.
SPRAY FUNCTION
Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button (D)
slowly (for a dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray) [Fig. 2].
Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand
using the spray function (D), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the
fabric. To avoid staining, do not use the spray function on silk or synthetic
fabrics.
CLEANING
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the iron is
unplugged from the socket. Any deposits, starch residue or sizing agent left
on the soleplate can be removed using a damp cloth or a non-abrasive liquid
detergent. Avoid scratching the soleplate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry
cloth.
HOW TO PUT IT AWAY
– Unplug the iron from the power socket.
– Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
– Leave the iron to cool down completely.
– Coil up the power cord.
– Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery, plush, etc.). If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature of the fibre 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 soleplate fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable. Sizing agent is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
To avoid making silk, woollen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside
out. To avoid making velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following
the fibre) 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 speed is very high. Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not
completely dry. For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
