USE OF THE APPLIANCE
• Check that the voltage indicated on the data plate corresponds with that of the local network
before connecting the appliance to the supply mains.
• Place the appliance on a stable, flat and heat resistant surface.
• Fill the boiler with water as per the instructions indicated in the paragraph “Filling the boiler”.
• Plug in the appliance.
• Press the boiler’s switch and wait for the water to start boiling (about 8 minutes). The boiler
indicator light will turn on.
• Then press the iron switch to turn on the iron and then select the desired temperature by turning
the thermostat knob. The power indicator light will turn on.
• When the thermostat indicator light turns off, the set temperature has been reached and the iron
is ready for use.
• It takes about 8minutes for the boiler to reach the optimum ironing pressure.
• When the appliance is ready for use the steam pilot lamp lights up. You may start ironing when
the steam pilot lamp has turned on.
• When using the iron for the first time, iron a plain cloth first.
• To obtain steam, press the steam button. Release the steam button when steam is no longer
required.
• For delicate fabrics, press the steam release button intermittently to avoid possible water droplets
appearing with the steam.
Warning : During use, the steam pipe and iron rest become very hot. Do not touch them in any
case, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Caution : The first time the steam generator is used some fumes and smell may be emitted. This
is not harmful and it will not affect the use of the steam generator. This phenomenon will
disappear rapidly.
Attention : Never allow the steam to flow out of the iron whilst it is resting on the stand provided.
• If the jet of steam decreases while you are ironing, the boiler tank is running out of water.
Attention : You should pay special attending when handling the appliance since the boiler is
always under pressure!
Caution : When starting the operation and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator’s
electric pump injects water into the steam generator boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite
normal. If you are pressing the steam control button while the sound is heard, you may lose a
little steam for a few seconds. Again this is normal.
Caution : You will hear a pumping sound regularly during steam ironing, as the water is being
pumped from the water tank. This is normal and it is not a fault.
Recomendations : To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if
you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam control button several
times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to be
removed from the steam circuit.
STEAM OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT

• You may turn the steam knob to “min” to increase the steam output.
INDICATIONS ON BOILER
