DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section “steam ironing”, leaving the steam selec-
tor (C) on position “0”.
Spray Function
Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button (D) slowly (for a dense
spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray) [Fig. 6].
Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using the spray
function (D), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining, do not
use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.
CLEANING
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance plug is not con-
nected to the socket and the iron is completely cool.
Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or an
unabrasive liquid detergent. Never use abrasive, vinegar or other chemical agents to clean the
iron.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.
SELF-CLEANING
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the plate, removing impurities. We recommend using it
every 10-15 days. Directions:
- Fill the reservoir up to the maximum level indicated and set the steam selector (C) to “0”
- Set the thermostat knob (K) to the maximum temperature and wait for the light (F) to turn off.
- Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
- Hold the self clean button (L) setting until all the boiling water, steam and impurities come out
[Fig. 7].
- When the soleplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth.
HOW TO PUT IT AWAY
- Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket.
- Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
- Leave the iron to cool down completely.
- Roll up the power cord with the rewinder [Fig. 8].
- Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual fi nishes (sequins,
embroidery, fl ush, etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature of
the
fi bre requiring the lower temperature.
If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by testing
on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it
