Preparation

What water may be used ?

Types of water not to use: In order to prevent your
maxi steam iron life, you should not use water from
clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from
refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water,
boiled, filtered or bottled water. Do not use pure
distilled nor pure demineralised water.
All the type of water listed above may contain
organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that
can cause spitting, brown staining or premature
wear of the appliance.

Filling the water tank

• Place your appliance on a stable, flat heat

resistant surface.

• We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing

board to allow steam to pass through the
garments for better ironing results and also to
prevent steam venting sideways.

• Check that your appliance is unplugged and open

the refill inlet cover on the front of the water tank.

• Fill the water tank with untreated tap water until

the max level – Fig.5

• Close the water tank refill inlet cover.

• Do not fill the water tank from the cartridge

compartment.

Using your Maxi steam iron

The first time the appliance is used, there may be some
fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not
affect use and will disappear rapidly.

• Completely unwind the power cord and the water

connection cord.

• Plug in your appliance to an earthed socket.
• Press on the on / off switch – Fig.6. The max

indicator located on the control panel flashes while
the iron heats up - Fig.7. When the max indicator
light stops flashing and the iron light goes out

(after 2 minutes approximately), the appliance is
ready for use.

• If you use the appliance for the first time, if you

have replaced the anti calc cartridge or after
filling the water tank, press the steam control
button continuously for few minutes pointing it
away from your linen, in order to prime the
pump and obtain steam.

• When in use, your electric pump injects water

into the iron solepate. It makes a noise but this
is normal.

Use

Steam ironing

Do not place the iron on a metal support.When
taking a break from ironing, always place the iron
on the iron rest plate of the unit. It is equipped
with non-slip pads and has been designed to
withstand high temperatures.

• Place the iron's temperature control dial according

to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).

• The iron thermostat light comes on. Important:

whenever you start using your iron and whenever
you reduce the temperature during use, the iron is
fully ready for use when its thermostat light goes
out and when the steam light located on the
control panel (ECO or MAX) stops flashing and
remains on.

• While ironing, the light of the iron turn on and off, as

the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.

• Steam may take some time to start as your maxi

steam iron needs to activate its water circuit.

• The steam can only be used on 3 dots setting (see

below table). For other garments (1 dot and 2
dots) the iron is not hot enough to produce steam
and therefore it is not recommended to use the
steam control button as this may cause water to
drip from the soleplate.

• The steam will stop when you release the button.
• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the

fabric to be ironed.

Setting the temperature

Before using the iron for the first time, or if you have
not used the steam button for a long time, press the
steam control button – Fig.8 - several times in a row,
holding the iron away from your clothes.
