Before ironing, check that the garment to be ironed is suitable for steam ironing.
First use
Check that the voltage indicated on the data plate corresponds with that of the local network before
connecting the appliance to the power supply. The appliance uses ordinary tap water. If the water is very
hard (hardness higher than 27 degrees French) we suggest using distilled or demineralized water.
Always remove the plug from the power socket before filling the boiler. Place the iron in the upright
position so that water tank inlet is in horizontal position. Open the water tank inlet cover (1) and pour in
water until it reaches MAX mark (14). After closing the cover, connect the appliance to the power supply.
It is normal for a small ammount of smoke to appear on first use, this will quickly disappear. When using
the appliance for the first time, do not steam towards laundry, as there could be debris left over in the
appliance after the production in the steam vents.
Setting the temperature
Follow the ironing instructions on the garment label. If there is no instruction, but you do know the type of
fabric, please, consult the following table on page 4.
Note: If the fabric consists of various different fabrics, always set the ironing temperature required by the
most delicate fabrics.
How to use
When using the iron for the first time, iron a plain cloth
first. To start the steam, press the steam button (3). Release the steam button when steam is no longer
required. This appliance is also able to generate steam in a vertical position and can therefore be used to
refresh fabrics easily with a jet of steam.
ATTENTION
: Never allow the steam to flow out of the iron while it is resting on its heel (9). If the jet
of steam decreases while you are ironing, the boiler tank is running out of water.
flow out of the iron while it is resting on its heel (9). If the jet of steam decreases while you are ironing, the
boiler tank is running out of water.
CAUTION!
Never attempt to open the water inlet cover while the appliance is working. Never open
the water inlet cover when the appliance is connected to the outlet. The iron may smoke slightly
when switched on for the first time - this is normal and will soon stop. If the iron remains unused for a
long period of time (a few weeks), we suggest to press the steam button (3) for about 30 seconds
with the iron in horizontal position, as to clean the internal steam ducts, before you start your ironing
session. It is not necessary to completely fill the boiler tank for short ironing sessions, as to reduce
the waiting time and save electric energy.
