Setting the temperature
1. Check the ironing instruction label on the
garment to determine the correct ironing
temperature.
2. Select the temperature (11):
• Synthetics
•• Silk-Wool
••• Cotton-Linen
3. The indicator lamp (13) will remain lit while the
iron is heating and go out as soon as the iron
has reached the selected temperature.
Tips:
• Sort your garments out based on their
cleaning symbol labels, always starting with
clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest
temperatures.
• If you are not sure what the garment is made
of then begin ironing at a low temperature and
decide on the correct temperature by ironing

Ironing with steam (B)
1. Turn the temperature selector (11) to the
required setting
2. Set the amount of steam to suit your needs,
using the variable steam control (8) (depending
on the model).
3. Press the steam release button (12) to release
steam.
Attention:
When ironing on a lower temperature setting “•”.
• If the appliance has variable steam control (8), set
the variable steam control to its lowest position
(“
”).
• If the appliance does not have variable steam
control, press the steam release button (12)
only for a few seconds at a time when ironing
at lower temperatures.
In both cases, if you find that water is dripping
out of the soleplate, set the temperature selector
(11) to a higher position (take care that the
garment can be ironed on this heat temperature
setting).
Important:
• The steam hose may get hot if you are ironing
for long periods.
Ironing without steam
1. Set the required ironing temperature.
2. Begin ironing but without pressing the steam
release button (12).
Vertical steam (C)
1. Set the temperature control to the “••” or
“max” position.
2. You can steam iron curtains and hanging
garments (jackets, suits, coats...) by holding
the iron in a vertical position and pressing the
steam release button (12).
Operate the iron vertically at a distance of 10
to 20 cm
Never direct the steam jet at garments
that are being worn.
Never aim the steam at people or ani-
mals.
Energy saving “eco” setting
(depending on the model)
If the “eco” steam setting on the steam regulator
(8) is selected, the energy consumption of the
appliance will be reduced, by means of the
reduction of water consumption and electricity.
A good ironing result can be obtained for most
of the garments.
Use higher settings only for thick and highly
wrinkled fabrics.
Cleaning the Boiler
To extend the life of your steam generator and
to avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that
you rinse out the boiler after several hours of use
(approximately after 50 hours). If the water is
hard, increase the frequency.
Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the
boiler, as they could damage it.
1. Check that the appliance is unplugged and
cold for more than 2 hours.
2. Unscrew the boiler´s cap (1)
3. Empty the boiler above a sink by holding the
appliance upside down.
4. Fill the boiler with 500 ml of fresh water.
5. Shake the base unit for a few moments
and then empty it completely over a sink or
bucket.
