INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
When using the iron for the first time, iron a smooth cloth first.
The appliance uses tap water.
If the water is very hard (hardness greater than 27 French degrees), we
suggest using distilled or demineralized water.
Before using the equipment, find the water inlet (12) and first fill the tank
(8) with a suitable quantity, without exceeding the MAX water level.
Connect the appliance to the power supply. Press the power button (13), the
iron will start to heat up and the thermostat operating light (5) will start
to flash. After approximately 30 seconds the light will stop flashing and the
iron will be ready for use.
Select the desired temperature by turning the temperature control dial (3).
The part colored in blue indicates the steam ironing sector.
NOTE: It is normal for a little steam to come out of the iron soleplate
for a moment when you release the steam button (4).
CAUTION! Do not cut off the power immediately if there is still steam
from the soleplate. You need to wait until no steam comes out of the soleplate
and then cut off the power. Otherwise, the next time you turn on the unit,
steam or residual water will come out.
This appliance can also generate steam in an upright position and can
therefore be used to easily iron fabrics, for example curtains. After the
cumulative run time of the pump is 40 hours, the indicator light (14) for the
replacement of the resin anti-scale filter will come on and it will need to be
replaced. After replacement, press the reset button (14) and the light will
turn off.
DRY IRONING
Press the power button with the indicator light (13) and then turn the
temperature control dial (3) to any position in the uncolored area. Wait until
the thermostat operating light (5) stops flashing and indicates that the
desired temperature has been reached.
SELF-CLEANING
-
Self-cleaning reminder.
When the steam usage time reaches 7 hours, the self-cleaning light will blink. You must follow the process below to activate the self-cleaning mode. However you can activate this mode at any time you want, it is not necessary to activate the warning.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the self-cleaning with the cold iron and in a place that can be wet since the iron will expel a large amount of water during the process. -
Self-cleaning mode
Press the MODE button for 5 seconds to enter self-cleaning mode. The SELF CLEAN light will begin to flash and the following processes will occur automatically. You should not touch any buttons or interrupt the process. -
The iron will start to heat up until the thermostat operation light stops flashing.
-
The pump will run for 45 seconds CAUTION: Large amounts of hot water may be generated during this process.
-
The pump will turn off and the thermostat operation indicator light will flash again. Once it reaches its fixed position, the iron will return to its off position and the self-cleaning process is complete. Allow the soleplate to cool down and clean any limescale that may remain on it.
SUGGESTIONS
- Divide the laundry according to the correct ironing temperatures. Start by ironing those items that require a lower temperature. For more complete details, see the table at the end of this manual.
- Fabrics such as velvet and wool, and accessories such as gloves, handbags, etc., will regain their ideal appearance and textures just by running the iron close to the surface of the fabric and pressing the steam button.
- Traces left on carpets by furniture can be removed by applying steam to the areas where the pile meets and brushing lightly.
- If the mat is made of synthetic material, do not select a high temperature.
How to get a professional ironing finish
A normal iron generates only a small amount of steam. In this case, it is
necessary to constantly steam the products to eliminate wrinkles in the fabric
being ironed.
A professional ironing system works quite differently. The fabric is first
moistened with steam and then, in a second phase, dry ironed in the usual way.
This means that the smallest pleats are eliminated and your clothes are ironed
to perfection.
In the first phase (moistening the fabric with steam), hold the iron about 20 cm above the fabric and press the steam button (4). Pass the iron over the garment in a circular motion so that the powerful jet of steam moistens the fabric. Slightly wrinkled items require only a few moments of steaming. Although very heavy fabrics or items with particularly difficult pleats should be more humid, steam should be applied for a few more seconds.
During the second phase (dry ironing), check that the thermostat knob is in the correct position for the type of fabric; dry iron the garment. The special ironing plate will prevent the fabrics from shining. Using this ironing technique, and following the suggestions in the chart below, it is easy to give your garments a truly professional ironing finish.
Guide to a perfect ironing
Disposal of old electrical appliances.
The European directive 2012/19/UE on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed
of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the
materials they contain, and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you
of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance, it must be
separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
