After ironing
To prevent lime residue from forming, empty the tank following use and after having
turned off the appliance and unplugged it from the socket-outlet.
Turn off the boiler by pressing the switch (T). The appliance is still energized when
plugged in and it is possible to eliminate the pressure remaining in the boiler by pressing
the steam button (L). Turn the appliance off by pressing the switch (V). Remove the power
cable from the socket-outlet. Empty the water tank completely so as to prevent the water
from stagnating, which may form lime deposit. Store the power cord in the cord storage
compartment (Z). Put back the cable connecting the iron to the tank in the cord storage
compartment (Y). Let the iron cool down on its stand, taking care not to touch the power
cables and connection with the hot parts of the appliance.
USING AS TRADITIONAL IRON (FIG. 4)
Refilling the reservoir
Warning!
Make sure the iron is unplugged from the mains supply before filling the iron tank
(N) with water.
Open the door (I). Hold the iron vertically and fill the tank with fresh tap water to the
maximum level (Fig. 20). Use the measuring unit (G) provided. Close the cover (I) again. If
your tap water is very hard, use demineralized water.
NEVER fill the tank above the level indicated by “max”.
Do not pour vinegar, descalers or other scented substances into the tank: Otherwise,
the warranty may be revoked.
Warning!
Do not try to fill the tank holding the iron in horizontal position.
If it proves necessary to add water while ironing, always turn off the iron and unplug the
power cord before filling the tank with water.
Switching on the appliance
Place the iron on the iron stand grid (E). Disconnect the cables from the connections on
the cord storage compartment (Fig. 5). Connect the power cord (A) with the iron/boiler
connecting cable (Q) until you hear a slight “click” (Fig. 6).
Plug into the mains socket. The temperature control lamp (O) turns on. Now select the
required temperature using the thermostat knob (M). When the iron reaches the selected
temperature, the lamp (O) turns off (the temperature lamp turns off and on while ironing,
indicating that the iron is maintaining the right temperature).
Follow the instructions on the care label of the garment to be ironed. Make the dots
shown on the iron correspond to those shown on the label.
Steam ironing
Steam ironing is only possible at high temperature..
Ensure that there is enough water in the water tank. Place the iron on the iron stand grid
(E). Plug into the mains socket.

indicator light (O) turns off, this means that the soleplate has reached the selected
temperature, so the iron is ready for use.

this feature you may need to press the spray button repeatedly (Fig. 15).
Dry ironing

of fabric to be ironed. Wait a few minutes for the soleplate to reach the set temperature.
