STEAM IRONING
The appliance uses ordinary tap water. If the water is very hard (hardness
higher than27 degrees French). we suggest using distilled or demineralized
water. When using the iron for the first time , iron a plain cloth first.
Before using the appliance, take down the water tank (14) and fill it, not
exceeding the MAX waterline. When you want to take back the water tank(14),
firstly put the water tank base and then push the water tank softly, after
hearing “click”, it means the water tank in place. Connecting the appliance
and power cord. Press the switch button (7), power indicator light (6) and
steam available indicator light (8) bright, il means the boiler and iron start
running. Feed-water from electromagnetism water pump coming down the boiler
when the boiler (13) heating enough. Choosing the temperature by temperature
knob (4), the steam device indicates an ironing area that can be chosen
(Fig.3). Around 2 minutes, heating indicator (2) will die out, il means the
appliance can be using the steam. Around 3 minutes, steam available light (8)
will die out, it means the appliance can be using the steam. Obtain steam
after pressing the steam button (3). Release the button ( 3) and the steam
flow stops. This appliance is also able to generate steam in a vertical
position and can therefore be used to refresh fabrics easily with a jet of
steam. When you end the ironing, press the switch button (7), eut down the
power, press the steam button (3) to release the residual steam in the boiler
(13).
NOTE: Continue to release steam for a long time, when the pump adds water into the boiler, the soleplate will stop to release steam for short time, almost 10secs.
DRY IRONING
Connect! the appliance to the mains supply, press the switch button(7), then select the desired temperature by turning the thermostat knob(4).Wait until the iron heating indicator light (2) goes off, indicating that the desired temperature has been reached. For dry ironing, it is not necessary to press the steam button (3).
FILLING THE TANK
Thanks to the self-filling function, there is no longer any need to stop and
wait while the boiler fills up again. When the water in the boiler is at a
minimum level, the pump is automatically activated which fills the boiler once
again.
If you hear the loud feed-water sound when you iron, it means there is no
water in the water tank (14). Press the switch button (7) and eut down the
power. After fill the water tank (14), then press the switch button (7) again,
go on ironing. To keep on working, simply restore the water level in the
self–refilling tank as described in the “Preparation for use” paragraph.
PUTTING THE APPLIANCE AWAY
First ensure that the appliance has cooled down completely. Empty the water
tank ( 14) . lt is not necessary to drain the boiler after ironing. Steam line
(5) and power cord (9) could be receipt into the wire groove (12) and line box
(10).
LOCKING IRON
To Iock the iron it must be set on the rear part of the rest mat (Fig11).
NOTE: make sure to firmly hook the iron to prevent it from falling
accidentally.
CARE OF YOUR STEAM IRONING
Before attempting any maintenance operation, always disconnect the appliance from the mains. To clean the body of the appliance, simply use a moist cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents which may harm the body material. Always keep the surface the ironing plate perfectly clean. To clean it, jus! wipe the cold surface with a damp cloth. The appliance must not be cleaned with descaling agents. Do not iron over zippers, hooks, rings, etc; as these may scratch the plate. When you have finished ironing. Place the iron correctly on its stand. Ensure that there are no traces of water under the plate, as these may cause stains. Store the appliance in a dry place
PERIODIC CLEANING OF THE BOILER
To maintain optimum performance, clean the boiler every 10/20 uses depending on the amount of limestone in the water. Disconnect the appliance and let it cool down for at least 2 hours. After the appliance refrigeration enough put up one side of the cleaning valve (11), forced to rotate counterclockwise the cleaning valve (Fig.5) (do not lie fiat the appliance when you open the cleaning valve, otherwise the water will leakage).
CAUTION! Never attempt to open the cleaning valve ( 11) while the boiler
is under pressure. CAUTION: do not pour more than 200ml water into the
boiler. Pour water slowly, being careful, not to let il overflow, as this
could damage the appliance.
Rinse out the boiler and pour the water away into the sink or into a container
for collecting dirty water. If the water is very dirty, repeat the operation
until it is clean. Checking that the seal is present and that the cap is
screwed on properly. Fill the water tank again. Turn the appliance on again.
Before ironing, release steam into the sink or another container and check
that the steam is clean. This should take a few seconds. Resume ironing
normally.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Water cornes out of the iran instead of steam| The appliance has not reached the right temperature yet.
The temperature contrai dial has set at the minimum.

The appliance is on but it is not producing steam| Water tank is empty or not
inserted correctly.| Fill the water tank.
Suggestions
Divide the washing according to the correct ironing temperatures. Start by
ironing those garments that require a lower temperature. For fuller details,
refer to the chart at end of this booklet. Fabrics such as velvet and wool,
and accessories such as gloves, handbags, etc. will regain their brand-new
look and texture by simply passing the iran near the surface of the fabric and
pressing the steam button. imprints left in carpets by furniture can be
removed by applying steam on the parts where the pile is crushed and brushing
lightly. If the carpet is made of synthetic material, do not select a high
temperature.
How to get a professional ironing finish
A normal Iran generates only a small quantity of steam. ln this case it is
necessary to products steam constantly in order to eliminate creases in the
fabric being ironed. A professional ironing system works rather differently.
The fabric is first made damp by the steam and then, in a second phase, dry-
ironed in the normal way. This means that every. The tiniest crease is removed
and your garments are ironed to perfection. ln the first phase (steam-damping
of the fabric),hold the iran about 20 cm above the fabric and press the
steam(3). Pass the iron over the garment in a circular motion so that the
powerful jet of steam damps the fabric. Lightly creased garments require only
a few moments of steaming. While very heavy fabrics or garments with
particularly difficult creases must be damper, so steam must be applied for a
few seconds more. During the second phase (dry ironing), check that the
thermostat knob is in the correct position for the type of fabrics; release
the steam button(3) and dry-iran the garment. The special ironing plate will
prevent the fabrics from becoming shiny. Using this ironing technique, and
following the suggestions in the chart below, you will find it easy to give
your garments a really professional ironing finish.
