BEFORE THE FIRST USE
1. Remove any stickers or protective foil from the ceramic soleplate.
2. Heat up the iron until the maximum temperature and iron on a damp cloth during
a couple of minutes to remove any possible residues from the soleplate. Iron
according to the instructions in the section «Steam ironing».
Caution:
• During the first use it is normal that a specific odeur escapes from the appliance.
This odeur will disappear after a while.
• Some particles may come out of the soleplate during the first use. This is normal.
The particles are harmless and will disappear after a while.
• When turning on the appliance, the steam generator may produce a pumping
sound. This is normal. This sound indicates that water is pumped into the steam
generator.

is also normal and will last for about 3 seconds.
USING THE STEAM GENERATOR
This steam generator offers 2 options: dry ironing or steam ironing. Follow the

using the appliance.
Dry ironing
1. Place the iron on the thermal insulation pads of the steam generator.
2. Plug in the appliance and press the on/off button.
3. Select the desired temperature with the temperature dial, according to the kind of
fabric that needs to be ironed. The temperature indicator will light up and the iron
will start heating up.

reached. You can now start ironing.
Caution: Never touch the hot soleplate!
Steam ironing
Caution: do not plug in the appliance yet at this point.
1. Grab the water tank of the steam generator by the handle and pull the trigger on
the inside of the handle to pull the water tank out of the generator. Open the filling
cap and fill the water tank with water. It is best to use demineralized water. Make
sure that you do not exceed the maximum level (1.2 L). Close the filling cap after
filling the water tank.
2. Place the water tank back into the steam generator.
3. Place the iron on the thermal insulation pads of the steam generator.
4. Plug in the generator, press the on/off button. Set the temperature dial to the
desired temperature, according to the kind of fabric, and the temperature indicator
will light up.
5. The water in the water tank will start heating up

Ironing tips
• Always check first if there is a label on the garment with instructions for ironing.
If this is the case, then always follow these instructions.
• The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Therefore, always iron the garments
that require the lowest temperature first, like synthetic fabrics.
• If a fabric contains several types of fibres, always choose the lowest temperature
to iron the combination of these fibres.
• Silk and other shiny fabrics should be ironed inside-out.
• Velvet and other fabrics that easily become shiny should be ironing with slight
pressure, in one direction. Always keep the iron moving.
• Fabrics that are a 100% wool can be ironed with steam. Set the temperature to the
maximum and use a dry cloth to place on the fabric.
• Never iron over zippers or other metal objects in a garment. This can damage the
soleplate. Always iron around such objects.
Caution:
if you iron woollen fabrics, the fabric may become shiny. That is why you
should turn the garment inside-out for ironing.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning it.
2. Wipe residues from the soleplate with a damp cloth or with a non-abrasive
(liquid) cleaner.
Caution: Do not use any chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to
scrape the soleplate.
3. Clean the upper part of the iron with a soft, damp cloth.
4. Wipe the water drops on the steam generator and the thermal insulation pads with
a dry cloth.
