Selecting the temperature.
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (9) according to the international symbol on the
garment label
[Fig. 3]
. The plate temperature control light (8) indicates that the iron
is heating up. Wait until the plate temperature control light goes off before ironing.
Warning:
during ironing, the plate temperature control light (8) comes on at
intervals, indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the
thermostat temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until
the plate temperature control light comes on again.
Selecting the steam.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).
- Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending
on the quantity of steam required and the temperature selected
[Fig. 1]
.
Warning:
the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally.
You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by
moving the steam selector to “
0
”. As indicated on the thermostat knob (9) 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 plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically.
Press the shot-steam button (4) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can
penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few
seconds before pressing again
[Fig. 4]
.
By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains,
hung garments, etc.)
[Fig. 5]
.
Warning:
the shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the
emission when the plate temperature control light (8) comes on, than start ironing
again only after the light has gone off.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section “steam ironing”, leaving the
steam selector (3) on position “
0
”.
Spray Function

dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray)
[Fig. 6]
.
Warning:
for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand
using the spray function (5), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric.
To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.
CLEANING
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the
appliance plug is not connected to the socket.
Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp
cloth or an unabrasive liquid detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.
SELF-CLEANING

recommend using it every 10-15days. Directions:

turn off.
-Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
-Hold the cleanout button (10) setting until all the boiling water, steam, impurities
come out
