NOTE:

• Both (

5

) and (

11

) lights go on and off during

operation; this is quite normal and means
that the electric resistance is operating to
maintain constant the pressure in the boil-
er.

•  If no steam is released from the iron, check

that the steam pressure light (

5

) is off.

Thanks to the self-filling function, there is no
longer any need to stop and wait while the
boiler fills up again.
When the water inside the boiler reaches its
low level, the thermostat will automatically
activate a pump that will fill the boiler from the
tank.
It is necessary to refill the feeder tank with
water before it becomes empty.
If, on pressing the steam request button no
steam comes out and you also hear the
pump noise increase, it 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.

operation, always disconnect the ap-
pliance from the mains.

• To clean the body of the appliance, simply

use a moist cloth. Do not use solvents or

• Disconnect the appliance and let it cool

down for at least 2 hours. 

• Empty the water tank to prevent leakage. 
• Turn the appliance upside-down and use

the hexagon wrench (

13

) to unscrew the

boiler cap (

12

) on the bottom of the ap-

pliance (fig.7). 

• Use the funnel (

14

) to pour 1/4 litre of cold

water into the boiler.  

CAUTION: do not pour more than the
specified amount of water into the boi-
ler. Pour water slowly, being careful not
to let it overflow, as this could damage
the appliance (fig.8).

• Rinse out the boiler and pour the water

away into the sink or into a container for
collecting dirty water.  

• If the water is very dirty, repeat the opera-

tion until it is clean. 

• Put the cap back on the boiler, checking

that the seal is present and that the cap is
screwed on properly. 

• Fill the water tank again and put the cap

on. 

• Turn the appliance on again. 
• Before ironing, release steam into the sink

or another container and check that the
steam is clean. This should take a few se-
conds. 

• Resume ironing normally.
• To maintain optimum performance, clean

the boiler every 10/20 uses depending on
the amount of limestone in the water.
