• Pull up the self-refilling tank cap (
1
) (Fig. 1) and fill the tank with 700
cc of water, making sure it does not overflow. Close the cap.
• Normal tapwater can be used. However, as water by its nature con-
tains limestone, which may cause build-up of limescale in the boiler,
in hard water areas we recommend the use of our natural-base
decalcifier Kalstop FP 2003.
• Connect the cable plug to an earthed power supply of the correct
voltage.
• Press the illuminated ON/OFF switch (
2
); both the steam pressure
indicator light (
5
) and the “iron heating” indicator light (
11
) go on
(Fig.2).
• The noise you hear at times during the functioning of the appliance
is normal and is simply due to the water flowing from the reservoir
tank to the boiler

Before ironing a garment, it is always advisable to check the symbols
and instructions on the label provided by the garment manufacturer.
Check which kind of ironing is recommended, referring to the table
below:
STEAM IRONING
• Set the iron temperature on “COTTON - LINEN” steam position (fig.
3), by turning the control knob (
7
).
• Wait for both the steam pressure indicator light (
5
) and the “iron
heating” indicator light (
11
) to go off (about 3 minutes). Push the
steam request button (
10
) on the iron to release steam from the
holes on the soleplate. Release the button and the steam flow stops.
NOTE:
at the first request of steam, a few drops of water mixed with
steam may come out of the soleplate until the temperature stabilizes.
It is advisable to direct the first jets of steam onto an old cloth until a
uniform stable jet of steam is obtained.
• In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (
12
) for-
wards. Steam will keep on coming out, even if you release the but-
ton. To interrupt the steam flow, move the button (
12
) backwards
(fig.4).
• By turning the steam flow control knob (
6
) you can vary the quantity
of steam according to the kind of textiles to be ironed (more or less
delicate). You can increase the steam flow by turning the knob in
clockwise direction. Turning it in an anticlockwise direction reduces
the steam flow (fig. 5). We suggest the maximum emission for heavy
textiles like jeans and linen, medium for cotton, minimum for light
delicate textiles.
DRY IRONING:
• For DRY ironing (without steam), set the iron temperature by turning
the control knob (
7
) on the position required for the fabric, as shown
on the same knob. When dry ironing, be careful NOT TO PRESS
THE STEAM REQUEST BUTTON (
10
) on the iron, otherwise water
may leak from the soleplate.
NOTE:
• Both (
5
) and (
11
) indicator lights go on and off during operation;
this is quite normal and means that the electric resistances are
operating to maintain the system at a constant temperature.
• If no steam is released from the iron, check that the steam pressure
light (
5
) is off.

It is necessary to fill up the tank with water before it becomes empty.
If no steam comes out when pressing the steam request button, this
means that there is no more water in the tank.
To keep on working, simply restore the water level in the self-refilling
tank as described in the “Preparation for use” paragraph.
