Before using the
iron for the first time
Remove any label or protective covering from the
soleplate.
With the iron unplugged, fill in the tank of the iron
with tap water and set the temperature control
dial to “max”
Plug in the appliance to the mains. When the
steam iron has reached the desired temperature
(pilot light switches off), start steaming by setting
the steam regulator to the maximum steam
setting and by repeatedly pressing the button .
When using the steam function for the first time,
do not apply it on the laundry, as there could still
be dirt in the steam dispenser.
When turned on for the first time, your new iron
may smell and emit a little smoke and a few
particles; this will stop after a few minutes.
How to use the iron
Check the recommended ironing temperature in
the label on the garment.

If you don’t know what kind or kinds of fabric a
garment is made of, determine the right ironing
temperature by ironing a part that will not be
visible when you wear or use the garment.
Start ironing the garments that require the lowest
ironing temperature, such as those made of
synthetic fibres.
Silk, wool or synthetic materials: iron the reverse
side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.
• This appliance is to be connected and used in
accordance with the information stated on its
characteristics plate.
• This appliance must be connected to an
earthed socket. If it is absolutely necessary to
use an extension cable, make sure that it is

connection.
• If the safety fuse fitted in the appliance blows,
the appliance will be rendered inoperative. To
restore normal operation the appliance will

voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can
happen, it is recommended that the iron is
connected to a power supply system with a
maximum impedance of 0.27 Ω . If necessary,
the user can ask the public power supply
company for the system impedance at the
interface point.
