Warning!
Remove any labels and protections from the soleplate before using the appliance for the first time.
The iron disconnection from the tank must occur always and only with the power plug unplugged from the outlet.
Duetto can be used in two ways: as ironing system or as a traditional iron.
The ironing system mode is recommended for large quantities of cloths and long ironing times, while for lesser quantities or
less ironing time it is recommended to use the traditional ironing mode.
To use it as ironing system make sure that the iron-boiler connection cable (Q) and the power cord (A) are inserted in the
sockets on the connection (S) at the base of the appliance (Fig. 3). See “Using the iron an ironing system”.
For use in traditional iron mode, unplug the power cord (A) and the iron-boiler connection cable (Q) from the sockets on
the connection (S) by pressing the release hook (R) Fig. 5. Connect the cables to each other (Fig. 6) until you hear a slight
click. See “Using as traditional iron”.
To return using the ironing system mode, unplug the power cord (A) and the iron-boiler connection cable (Q), by pressing
the release hook (R). Insert the two cables in the sockets present on the connection (S) at the base of the unit until you
hear a slight click.
Place the appliance on a stable even surface (e.g. a table or an ironing board).
the first two times the tank is filled, always use normal tap water without using the anti-scale cartridge (B). then it
will be necessary to use tap water demineralized by the anti-scale cartridge (B) or distilled water.
Open the tank by removing the lid (D). Release the anti-scale cartridge (C) from the protective cap Fig. 7. Insert the anti-
scale cartridge into the tank (Fig. 8).
Warning!
Take care that the red arrow on the cartridge is facing in the direction of the corresponding arrow positioned above
the appliance tank (Fig. 8).
Press lightly until the cartridge has reached the end of its housing.
The anti-scale cartridge purifies water from substances harmful to the iron, therefore it allows to use ordinary tap water. The
anti-scale cartridge must be replaced when the resins contained therein have completely changed colour. The replacement
cartridges are available at the sale points or in Authorized Service Centers.

The appliance works with regular tap water.
Warning!
To avoid damaging the pump, never operate the appliance without any water in the tank, even for dry ironing.
switching on the appliance
Place the appliance on a horizontal and stable surface. The power cord (A) and the iron – boiler connection cable (Q) are
connected to the sockets present on the connection (S) (Fig. 3). Connect the appliance to the power supply, ensuring that
the voltage indicated on the identification plate corresponds to your local power supply.
Before you turn on the appliance, make sure there is sufficient water inside the tank.
Press the iron-boiler power switch (P) Fig. 11. On first use, after filling the tank, it is necessary to adjust the temperature
control knob (L) over the symbol (
•••
) and press the steam button (K) Fig. 12 until the iron does not produce steam (about
one minute) Fig. 14. The iron is now ready for use.
When first used, the iron may give out a little smoke: this transitory effect is perfectly normal and will disappear
very soon.
Before applying a jet of steam to the article to be ironed, release two or three good jets of steam towards the floor to stabilise
the steam flow.
