-
Adjust the quantity of steam using the knob (4).
-
For using the steam, either horizontally or vertically, press the button (13). Use the button (12) to supply
continuous steam
.
CAUTION: when using the steam, wait for the complete heating of both the iron and the
boiler. In the beginning, few drops will come out together with the steam. This is normal and
it is due to the heating of the cable connecting the boiler and iron.
CAUTION: do not completely fill the tank of the boiler (max 700cc), since this operation prevents the
formation of the steam, causing the loss of water from the iron.
FILLING THE TANK
Use of
demineralized water
is recommended to avoid excessive fouling (not covered by warranty). The
capacity of the tank is 700cc.
It is compulsory filling up the tank when it comes out of water or when the indicator light (3) turns off during
use. Follow the steps below for filling the tank:
1)
Stop the heating boiler by switching the control knob (5) to position "0".

To avoid any risk of injury, always eject the steam before opening the cap of the boiler.
3)
Remove the plug from the main power outlet and wait until the pressure goes down.
4)
Slowly unscrew the boiler cap (9) to release remaining steam and lower the pressure. The air coming out
is very hot, be careful and unscrew the cap of the boiler very slowly.
5)
Fill in the tank using the cup and the funnel without exceeding the maximum capacity.
CAUTION: do not completely fill the tank of the boiler (max 700cc), since this operation
prevents the formation of steam causing the loss of water from the iron.
TEMPERATURE SETTING
The following table provides a guideline on how to adjust the thermostat according to the international
symbols printed on the clothing labels or according to the type of fabric.
•
It is recommended ironing clothes that require low temperatures first and then medium and high
temperatures. This operation allows to save time since the ironing plate heats faster than it cools down.
In the case of blend fabric(Ex: Acrylic and cotton), it is recommended to select the temperature
according to the fabric that requires the lowest.
•
When you do not know the composition, it is recommended to iron a non-visible part of the it, starting
from the lowest temperature to find the most suitable temperature.
