refilling the reservoir
Warning
Make sure the iron is unplugged from the mains supply before filling the iron tank (M) with water.
Open the door (H). Hold the iron vertically and fill the tank with fresh tap water to the maximum level (Fig. 17). Use the measur-
ing unit (U) provided. Close the cover (H) 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 sockets present on the connection (S) (Fig. 5).
Connect the power cord (A) with the cable connecting the iron to the tank (P) until you hear a slight “click” (Fig. 6).
Plug into the mains socket. The temperature control lamp (N) turns on. Now select the required temperature using the
thermostat knob (L). When the iron reaches the selected temperature, the lamp (N) 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.
Position the temperature adjustment knob (L) on position (
•••
) or higher. When the indicator light (N) turns off, this means that
the soleplate has reached the selected temperature, so the iron is ready for use.
shot of steam
If there is water in the tank and the temperature is set on (
•••
) or on a higher level, all you have to do is press the steam
button (K).
spray button
Make sure there is water in the tank of the iron (M). Press the spray button (I). To enable this feature you may need to press
the spray button repeatedly (Fig. 16).
Dry ironing
Plug into the mains socket. Set the temperature control knob (L) depending on the type of fabric to be ironed. Wait a few
minutes for the soleplate to reach the set temperature. Do not press the steam button.
vertical ironing
This special ironing procedure serves to remove creases from curtains, fabrics, etc. Set the ironing temperature by turning
the adjustment knob (L) past the symbol (
•••
). Put the curtain or fabric in the position you want to iron it vertically and press
the steam button. If the temperature lamp is on, do not press the steam button more than three times in a row.
Warning
Do not iron fabrics held by other people.
After ironing
Set the temperature control knob (L) to “min”.
unplug it from the electric outlet. Let the iron cool down on its stand (E). Empty the tank: open the tank filling door (H),
overturn the iron and let water drain (Fig. 18).
Warning
Let the iron cool down before emptying the tank: danger of burns.
Replace the power cord and the iron-boiler connecting cable in the cord storage compartment (T). 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.
