appliance.
• If you decide never to use the appliance
again, cut the lead, first ensuring that
the appliance is unplugged.
• The user should never attempt to
change the cable. If, for any reason, the
cable requires changing, contact a
Technical Assistance Service authorised

position (base down) whilst still hot.
Wait until it has cooled.
• Do not mix stain-removers or similar
products on fabrics to be ironed.

which, when activated, interrupts the
working of the iron. To reactivate your
iron, contact an authorised Technical
Assistance Service.
4. BEFORE USING YOUR IRON
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all stickers or protective labels
from the base and the body.
Unroll and straighten the electrical cable.
Follow the instructions given in the "Self-
cleaning" section in point "10 –

DRY IRONING
1. Place the iron on a stable and heat-
resistant surface.
2. Turn the temperature selector knob (2)
to MIN (Fig. B).
3. Slide the steam control knob (7) to the
dry iron position (Fig. C).
4. Place the iron in an upright position,
resting it on the support base (10).
5. Plug it in and turn the temperature
selector to the desired position. The

6. When the iron has reached the selected
temperature, the pilot light (4) will
switch off. This pilot light may turn on
and off several times while you are
ironing, indicating the cycles of the
thermostat. Remember that if you
change from a higher to a lower
temperature, the pilot light (4) will
remain off until the temperature of the
base (1) has dropped to the selected
level, at which point it will come on
again.
7. When you have finished, turn the
temperature selector to MIN and unplug
the iron. Leave to cool before cleaning
the exterior and storing.
When you are dry ironing, you can use
the spray option at any moment,
providing there is water in the deposit.
(See sections entitled "Spray" and
"Filling the deposit").

surface.
1. Slide the steam control knob (7) to the
dry iron position (Fig. C).
2. Open the lid that covers the water inlet (5).
3. Slowly pour water into the inlet using a
