The iron may already contain water since every product is tested before being sold.

ZERO CALC ANTI-SCALE SYSTEM (where present)
A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale build-up in the plate. The resin filter is permanent
and does not need replacing.
Please note:
Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralised water makes the “Zero-Calc” anti-scale system ineffective by altering its
physico-chemical characteristics. Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply with
the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM (where present)
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 vaporisation, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without the risk
of spoiling or staining them.
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
Sort 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.
synthetic, acrylic, nylon, polyester: low temperatures;
wool/silk: medium temperatures;
cotton, linen: high temperatures;
fabric not to be ironed.
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
e
to “0”
[Fig. A]
. Open the lid
b
. Raise the tip of
the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing. Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure
m
and taking care not to go over the maximum level indicated by “MAX” on the reservoir
[Fig. B]
. Close the lid
b
.
Selecting the temperature
- Put the iron in a vertical position. Put the plug in the socket. Adjust the thermostat
i
according to the international symbol on the
garment label
[Fig. C]
. The plate temperature control light
f
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
f
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.
