Please note:
•
Use tap water only. Distilled and / demineralised water makes the

physicochemical characteristics.
•
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifies.
Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the
loss of guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate
fabrics.
Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down
to the point where no more steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling
water that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the Anti-drip
system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can
iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first 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. We also recommend passing
the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.
PREPARATIONS
Soft 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.
Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to
cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
-
Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
-
Move the steam selector (3) to “0” [Fig. 1].
-
open the filler door (2) press down the lid.
-
Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening
without overflowing.
-
Slowly pour the water into the water tank(9) using the special
measure (14) and taking care not to go over the maximum level
(about 300ml) indicated by “MAX” on the reservoir [Fig. 2].
-
close the filler door (2) press down the lid again.
Selecting the temperature.
-
Put the iron in a vertical position.
-
Put the plug in the socket.
-
Adjust the thermostat knob (10) according to the international symbol
(11)on the garment label [Fig. 3]. The plate temperature control light (6)
indicates that the iron is heating up. Wait until the plate temperature
control light goes off before ironing.
Warning: During ironing, the plate temperature control light (6) comes
on at intervals, indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If
you lower the thermostat temperature after ironing at a high
temperature, do not start ironing until the plate temperature control light
comes on again.
Selecting the steam.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).
-
Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and
maximum depending on the quantity of steam required and the
temperature selected [Fig. 1].
Warning: The iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron
horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a
vertical position or by moving the steam selector to “0”. As indicated on
the thermostat knob (10) and in the initial table, you can only use steam
at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water
may drip onto the plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing.
Press the shot-steam button (5) to generate a powerful burst of steam
that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough
creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again [Fig. 4].
.Warning: The shot-steam function can only be used at high
temperatures. Stop the emission when the plate temperature control
light (6) comes on, than start ironing again only after the light has gone
off.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section “steam ironing”,
leaving the steam selector (3) on position “0”.
Spray Function
Make sure that there is water in the water tank(9). Press the spray button
(4) slowly (for a dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray) [Fig.5].
Warning: For delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric
beforehand using the spray function, or putting a damp cloth between
the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or
