Note: If your area has hard water, we recommend you use
filtered or bottled water.
Attention: Always disconnect the iron from the electricity
mains supply prior to filling the tank (5) . Do not
overfill the tank (see the “Max” mark on the tank
(5) . Do not fill the tank (5) with other liquids.
Prior to first use iron a clean old piece of cotton cloth to make sure
the sole plate and the water tank are absolutely clean (see
subsection “Steam ironing”).
Note: Light smoke may emit during the first use of the
appliance: it is a normal occurrence that will soon
disappear.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Place the iron into a vertical position.
2. Insert the power plug
(13) into the mains supply
outlet.
3. Turn the temperature control knob (10) to set
the temperature recommended by the
manufacturer of the textile article (usually
indicated on the article’s label).
Note: In case the manufacturer’s recommendations are
missed, select the temperature setting, which
corresponds to the type of the cloth to be ironed (see
section “Useful advice”).
4. The operation indicator (11) will light up to indicate that the iron is
being heated to the set temperature level. When the set
temperature level is reached, the light indicator
(11) will turn off.
Note: During operation of the appliance the light indicator
will light up and turn off periodically; this is normal
and not a malfunction.
Steam ironing
Dry ironing can be used at any temperature setting. To do this the
steam control knob (9) must be put into the “0” position. If you intend
to use the steam function, allow the iron to heat to the required
temperature level then put the control knob
(9) into the required position.
Attention: Application of the steam ironing function is
impossible at “
•
” temperature setting. If the
temperature is insufficient to generate steam, water
will start dripping from the sole plate. To avoid this,
always put the steam control knob
(9) into the “0”
position prior to ironing at low temperatures.
Turbo steam
To ease ironing of dense cotton, linen and upholstery articles use
the steam burst button (8) : engagement of the button (8) during the
ironing process generates an extra burst of steam from the sole plate
to help remove stubborn creases.
