4. When the handle is gripped again, the iron
heating up and continuous steam generation
processes will start again.
Initial heating up process:
it is not necessary
to grip the handle until the iron heats up to the
set temperature.
Once reached such temperature, the “TempOK”
lights will stop flashing and remain lit
continuously.
10. After ironing
See the leaflet sides
1. Switch the steam regulator (3) from
to “max”
and back again several times (self- cleaning).
2. Empty the tank. Hold the iron with the point
down and shake lightly.
3. Store standing on the rear, not on the base.
4. Do not wrap the power cord (13) too tight!
Tips to help you save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To
help minimise the energy used, follow the advice
below:
1. Start by ironing the fabrics that require
the lowest ironing temperature. Check the
recommended ironing temperature in the label
on the garment.
2. Regulate the steam according to the selected
ironing temperature, following the instructions
in this manual.
3 Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use
the spray function instead.
Try to iron the fabrics while they are still damp
and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be
generated from the fabrics rather than the
iron.
If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing
them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’
program.
4. If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the
steam regulator (3) completely.
5. Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting
it horizontally with the steam regulator on
generates wasted steam.
Cleaning & Maintenance
See the leaflet sides
E
Attention! Risk of burns!
Always unplug the appliance from the
mains supply before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance operation on it.
1. If the iron is only slightly soiled, pull out the
plug and allow the soleplate (7) to cool down.
Wipe the housing and the soleplate with a
damp cotton cloth only.
2. If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the
high temperature on the soleplate, switch off
the steam and rub off any residue immediately
with a thickly folded, damp cotton cloth.
3. To keep the soleplate smooth, you should
avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never
use a scouring pad, or chemicals to clean the
soleplate.
AntiCalc
Multiple descaling system

a
self-clean
Each time you use the steam regulator (3), the
“self-clean” system cleans the mechanism of
scale deposits.
B
Calc’nClean
The “Calc’nClean” function helps to remove
scale particles out of the steam chamber. Use
this function approximately every 2 weeks if the
water in your area is very hard.
1
Unplug the iron from the mains socket, set
the steam regulator (3) to the
position and
fill the water tank (11) with water.
2
Set the temperature control (12) to the “max”
position and plug in the iron.
3
After the necessary warm-up period, the
“TempOK” lights inside the temperature
control (12) stop flashing. Then, unplug the
iron
(very important!)
.
4
Set steam regulator to the “max” position.
5
Hold the iron over a sink. Press the “clean”
button (10) and shake the iron until
approximately one third of the water capacity
of the tank is evaporated. Boiling water and
steam will come out, carrying scale or
deposits that might be there.
