Preparation

Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.

What water may be used?

• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

If your water is very hard (check with your local water authority) it is possible to mix untreated tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions: 50% untreated tap water, 50% distilled or demineralised water.

Filling the water tank

• Place your steam generator on a stable, flat heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest have cooled down.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark - fig.2.

Using your steam generator

• Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its storage space.
• Plug in your steam generator to an earthed socket.
  • The boiler heats up - fig.6.
  When the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (after 2 minutes approximately), the appliance is ready.

The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.

Use

Steam ironing

• Place the iron's temperature control dial according to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).
• The thermostat light comes on. Be careful! The steam generator is ready when the thermostat light goes out and when the green “steam ready” light stays on.
• While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on and off, as the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and keep it pressed - fig.3. The steam will stop when you release the button.

Do not place the iron on a metal support. When taking a break from ironing, always place the iron on the iron rest plate of the unit. It is equipped with non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures.

• When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening. Again this is normal.
  • Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

Setting the temperature

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
TYPE OF FABRICS	SETTING TEMPERATURECONTROL
Linen, cotton	●●●
Silk, Wool	●●
Synthetics(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide)	●

To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam control button several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to be ejected from the steam circuit.

• Iron temperature setting:

• Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature ( ) and finish with those which need higher temperatures ( or Max).
• Mixed fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
• Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button - fig.3 to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.

Dry ironing

- Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.

Vertical steam ironing

Recommendations : for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.

• Set the iron temperature control dial to the MAX position.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
  As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.
• Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom - fig.4.

Refilling the water tank

When the red "water tank empty" indicator light turns on, there is no more steam

- fig.5.

The water tank is empty.

• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark - fig.2.
• Replug the generator. Press the “restart” button on the control panel - fig.7. to continue ironing. When the green light stops flashing, the steam is ready.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning your generator

• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.

Before cleaning, ensure your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron have cooled down.

Rinsing the boiler

Caution! Above all, you must not use descaling products to rinse the boiler: they may damage it. Before cleaning or emptying your generator, it is imperative that you leave it to cool for more than 2 hours, to prevent any risk of burns.

• Before proceeding, check that the generator is cool and unplugged for more than 2 hours.
• Place your steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron to one side, standing on its heel.
• Unscrew anti-clockwise a quarter of a turn the boiler rinse cap cover - fig.8.
  • Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse cap - fig.9.
• Holding your steam generator in a tilted position, and using a jug, fill the boiler with 1/4 litre of tap water - fig.10.
• Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely into your sink - fig.11.
  To obtain the best result, we recommend that this operation is done twice.
• Screw back and tighten up the boiler rinse cap with a coin.
• Put the boiler rinse cap cover back in place.

Storing your generator

• Store the electrical cord in its storage place - fig.12.
• Warning: do not touch the soleplate while still hot.
• Store the steam cord in the cord storage clip - fig.14.
• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 30 minutes.
