ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin fi lter inside the water tank softens the water and prevents scale building-up in the
plate. The resin fi lter is permanent and does not need replacing.
Please note:
Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralized water makes the “Zero-Calc” anti-calc
system ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics.
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalci
fi ers. Failure to comply
with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
This iron is equipped with a drip stop function: the iron automatically stops steaming when the
temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate. With the anti-drip
system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the fi rst time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some
sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. Pass
the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the
fi rst time.
PREPARATIONS
Sort the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label, or if
this is missing, according to the type of fabric. This will minimize the frequency of temperature
adjustment for different garments.

Fabric not to be ironed
Test ironing a small area on the backside or inside the garment if you are unsure about the type
of fabric. Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature and increase gradually.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and elimi-
nates the risk of scorching the fabric.
