OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first time, you
may notice a slight emission of smoke and
hear some sounds made by the expanding
plastics. This is quite normal and it stops
after a short time. We also recommend
passing the iron over an ordinary cloth
before using it for the time.
PREPARATIONS
Sort the laundry to be ironed according to
the international symbols on the garment
label, or if this is missing, according to the
type of fabric
Begin by ironing the garments requiring low
temperature. This reduces the waiting times
(the iron takes less time to heat up than to
cool down) and eliminates the risk of
scorching the fabric.
STEAM IRONING
FILLING THE RESERVOIR
- Check that the plug is disconnected from
the socket.
- Move the steam selector (3) to “0” .
- Open the filler cap (2).
- Raise the tip of the iron to help the water
enter the opening without overflowing.
- Slowly pour the water into the reservoir
using the measuring cup (14) and taking
care not to go over the maximum level
(about 300ml) indicated by “MAX” on the
reservoir (12).
- Close the filler cap (2).
SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE.
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Extend power cord (7) from power cord
compartment (13) and plug into socket.
- Adjust the fabric temperature dial (11)
according to the international symbol on
the garment label [Fig. 1]. The power indica-
tor light (9) indicates that the iron is heating
up. Wait until the power indicator lightlgoes
off before ironing.
WARNING: during ironing, the power indica-
torlight (9) 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 power indicator 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 depend-
ing on the quantity of steam required and
the temperature selected.
WARNING: the iron gives off steam continu-
ously only if you hold the iron horizontally.
You can stop the continuous steam by plac-
ing the iron in a vertical position or by mov-
ing the steam selector to “0”. As indicated
on the fabric temperature dial (11) and in the
initial table, you can only use steam at the
highest temperatures. If the selected tem-
perature is too low, water may drip from the
soleplate(6).
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instruc-
tions in section “steam ironing”, leaving the
Steam Control Lever “3” on position “Ø”.
SPRAY FUNCTION

voir. Press the spray button (4) slowly (for a
