This pilot light may turn on and off
several times while you are ironing,
indicating the cycles of the thermostat.
Remember that if you change from a
higher to a lower temperature, the pilot
light (6) will remain off until the
temperature of the base (10) has
dropped to the selected level, at which
point it will come on again.
7. When you have finished, turn the
temperature selector to MIN and
unplug the iron. Leave to cool before
cleaning the exterior and storing.
When you are dry ironing, you can use
the spray option at any moment,
providing there is water in the deposit.
(See sections Spray and Filling the
deposit).
Steam ironing
Before steam ironing any garment, check
that the fabric is designed for this kind of
treatment. The appliance works with normal
tap water. If the water in your area is very
hard (hardness level over 27ºF), we
recommend the use of pure distilled water.
1. Place the iron on a stable, heat-resistant
surface.
2. Fill the water deposit. (see Filling the
deposit)
3. Turn the temperature selector (7) to MIN.
4. Place the iron in an upright position,
resting it on the support base.
5. Plug the iron in and turn the temperature
selector to any setting within the steam
zone. The ON/OFF pilot light (6) will
come on. When this pilot light switches
off, the iron has reached the selected
temperature. Remember that if you
change from a higher to a lower
temperature, the pilot light (6) will
remain off until the temperature of the
base has dropped to the selected level,
at which point it will come on again.
6. Turn the function selector (3) to (Fig.
D) if you require normal steam, or to
if you require the maximum steam setting
(Fig. E). Hold the iron in a horizontal
position and the steam outlets will begin
to expel steam. If no steam is produced,
lightly tap the iron base against the
ironing board. Setting the iron in an
upright position, resting on the support
base, will interrupt the steam expulsion.
¡Caution! Avoid contact with the steam
and do not direct it towards people.
7. When you have finished, turn the
temperature selector to MIN, unplug the
cable and empty the deposit. The
deposit should be emptied after each
use as follows:
Turn the function selector to the dry iron
position , open the lid (4) and turn
the iron upside down to empty the
deposit (Fig. J). When emptied, leave in
an upright position until cool.
Filling the water deposit
Place the unplugged iron on a stable
surface.
1. Turn the function selector (3) to the dry
iron position (Fig. C)
2. Open the deposit lid (4) (Fig. E).
3. Slowly pour water into the deposit
using a cup (Fig. G). Never pour
cleaning products or solvents into the
water deposit.
4. Check that the water does not exceed
the maximum water level and replace
the lid.
Note: If the water in your area is too hard,
>27ºF, we recommend that you use
distilled water. Do not use battery water or
water mixed with starch, perfume, fabric
softener, etc.
Topping up the deposit
If, when ironing, you need top up the
water deposit, follow the instructions
below:
1. Turn the temperature selector to MIN
and unplug the iron.
2. Turn the function selector to the dry
iron position .
3. Wait a few minutes for the iron to cool.
Fill the deposit as indicted in the
