INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE USE:
- Peel off appliance’s protective film.
- Make sure that all the product’s packaging has
been removed.
- Some parts of the appliance have been lightly
greased, consequently, the appliance may give off
a light smoke the first time it is used. After a short
time, this smoke will disappear.
- Prepare the appliance according to the function
you wish to use:
FILLING WITH WATER:
- It is essential to have filled the tank with water to
be able to work with steam.
- Open the lid on the filling spout.
- Fill the tank, taking care to respect the MAX level
(Fig. 1)
- Close the filling spout lid.
USE:
- Unroll the cable completely before plugging it in.
- Connect the appliance to the mains.
- Turn the thermostat control to the desired tempe-
rature position.
- Do not use temperatures higher than those indica-
ted on the garments to be ironed.
● Temperature for synthetic fibres (Polyester,
Nylon…).
●● Temperature for silk, wool. (Minimum
temperature for ironing with steam)
●●● Temperature for cotton.
Max Temperature for linen.
- If garment has various kinds of fibres, select the
temperature for the fibre that requires the lowest
temperature. (For example, select the temperature
for polyester for a fabric made out of 60% polyester
and 40% cotton).
- Wait until the pilot light (F) has gone out, indicating
that the appliance has reached an adequate
temperature.
- During use the pilot light (F) will automatically flash
on and off, indicating that the heating elements are
operating in order to maintain the desired tempera-
ture.
DRY IRONING:
- The appliance has a steam flow regulator which,
when set to 1, allows dry ironing (without steam).
STEAM IRONING:
- It is possible to iron with steam whenever the tank
has water and the adequate temperature is
selected.
STEAM FLOW CONTROL:
- The appliance has a (C) control knob for adjusting
the steam flow.
SPRAY:
- The spray can be used in both steam and dry
ironing.
- Press the spray button ( A ) to use this operation.
- The spray button has to be pressed repeatedly to
release the first spray.
STEAM BLAST:
- This function provides extra steam for removing
creases.
- Press the steam blast button ( B ). Wait a few
seconds until the steam penetrates the fibres of the
garment before pushing the button again. For
optimum steam quality, do not apply more than
three successive blasts.
- The spray button has to be pressed repeatedly to
release the first spray.
VERTICAL IRONING:
- It is possible to iron hanging curtains, items of
clothing on their own hanger, etc. To do so, follow
these instructions:
- Select the iron’s maximum temperature by turning
the iron’s temperature regulator clockwise. (Fig 2)
- Iron from top to bottom while pressing the steam
control ( B ). Important: for cotton and linen, it is
recommended to put the base of the iron in contact
with the material. For other more delicate fabrics, it
is recommended to keep the base of the iron a few
centimetres away.

once a month to remove calcium and any other
built-up minerals inside the iron.
- Fill the water tank to its maximum level, as indica-
ted in the “filling with water” section.
