Before the First Use

• Remove any sticker or protective cover from the soleplate before using the appliance
• Before the first use of the steam generator, use a damp cloth to remove any potential residuals from the soleplate as there may be debris from the steam vents. Use the steam generator for the first time on an old piece of fabric to ensure that the soleplate and the water tank are completely clean.
• When the steam generator is used for the first time, some vapour may be emitted. However, after a short while this will cease to exist.

Suitable Water for Steam Generator

• You can use tap water unless the tap water is too hard. If the water in your area is very hard and contains a lot of salts, use distilled water.
• Do not use water of any chemical composition, refrigerated water, clothes dryers, batteries, air conditioners, flavored water, water softener, and rain water.

Tips for Better Results

• Divide the washing according to the correct ironing temperatures and in accordance with the International Fabric Care Code, which is on the labels label.
• If you do not know what fabric is made of fabric, determine the appropriate ironing temperature by ironing a point on the fabric that is not apparent when wearing it or using it.
• Silk, woolen and synthetic fabrics should be ironed from the riverside so as not to create shiny patches.
• First iron the fabrics that require the lowest temperature and then the fabrics that require a higher temperature.
• Do not iron metal objects such as zippers, hooks, rings, etc. as these may scratch the plate.
• Fabrics such as velvet and wool and accessories such as gloves, bags, etc. They will recover the brand new look and texture by simply passing the iron near the surface of the cloth and pressing the steam button.
• For professional results, you can follow the steps below:
• Hold the iron about 20 cm above the fabric and press the steam button (3). Pass the iron over the cloth in a circular motion so that the cloth becomes damped from the steam. Slightly crumpled fabrics require only a little steam. While heavy fabrics garments with particularly difficult aspects, they need more steam to get wet.
• During the second phase (dry ironing), check that the temperature setting button (4) is in the correct position for the fabric type. Iron the garment without pressing the steam button. The special ironing plate prevents the fabrics from getting glossy. Using this

ironing technique, you can give your clothes a truly professional ironing finish.

- Fabrics that have some kind of finishing (glossy surfaces, wrinkles, etc.) can ironed at low temperatures.

- For fabrics containing different fibers in their composition, always choose the appropriate temperature for ironing, which corresponds to the highest percentage of fabric. For example, if a fabric contains 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you should choose the appropriate temperature for the polyester and iron the fabric without steam - For woolen fabrics, select the middle temperature and press the steam button intermittently to achieve small steam emissions without touching the iron on the cloth.
