Preparing for use

1.Filling the water tank

This appliance has been designed to use normal tap water.

Important: Do not additive! Do not use additives! The addition of other liquids, such as perfume, vinegar, starch, condensation from tumble dryers or air conditioning systems, or chemicals will damage the appliance. Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned products will he guarantee void!

Fill the water tank (7). Never fill beyond the level "max" (8)

Tip: To prolong the optimum steam function, you may mix tap water with distilled or demineralised water 1:1. If the tap water in your area is very hard, mix tap water with distilled or demineralised water 1:2.

2.Heating

1. Unwind the supply hose (4) and the mains cable (5). Plug mains cable into an earthed socket.

[you can trust]

1. Press the button (2) to switch the appliance on. The indicator light (2) will flash indicating that the appliance is heating up.
2. When the iron is ready to use, the indicator light (2) will remain permanently lit. Two beeps will be heard.

3. Ironing

1. Press the steam release button (12) for ironing with steam.

Important:

During first use: Press the steam release button for 40 seconds until steam comes out. During the first seconds of use the amount of steam will be lower and it will increase progressively. Drops of water may leak out while there is still air in the circuit.

Warning: Ironing with an excessive amount of steam may produce condensation of the hot water and dripping from the ironing board or through any other permeable surface.

"Steam Turbo Shot" function

This appliance has a special function for tackling difficult creases.

1. Press the steam release button (12) two times in quick succession (double-click). Powerful shots of steam will be released.

4. Energy saving

If the energy saving setting is selected, you can save energy and water and still achieve good results when ironing most of your garments.

1. Press the energy saving button "Eco" (3). The indicator light will come on.
2. To switch back to the normal energy setting, press the "Eco" button again. It is advisable to use the normal energy setting to get optimum results on thick and very wrinkled fabrics.

Tips to help you save energy:

• If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble drier on the iron dry programme.
• Try to iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather than the iron.
• The most efficient way to iron with steam generators is to use the steam function in a forward direction (the steam permeates the fabric and gives volume back to it) and in a backwards direction without steam (fixing the fabric).

5. Auto switch off

For your safety and to save energy, the appliance switches off automatically when it has not been used for 8 minutes.

Three beeps will be heard, and all indicator lights (1, 2, 3) will flash.

1. To switch the steam station back on, press the steam release button (12) again.

2.3. Maintenance

Cleaning and maintenance

1. Descaling process

This appliance is equipped with an automatic clean warning indicator, which indicates that scale particles must be removed from inside the steam chamber.

[you can trust]

When activated, three beeps will be heard and the “Calc’nClean” indicator light (1) will flash, indicating that the process should be performed.

You may continue ironing for a time. Once this time has passed, you will only be able to dry iron (without steam).

To start steam ironing again, follow this descaling process:

1. Fill the tank (7) with water.
2. Plug in the mains cable (5) and press the button (2) to switch the appliance on.
3. Press the descaling button (1) for 2 seconds. Its indicator light will remain permanently lit.
4. Wait until the indicator light (2) stops flashing and remains lit permanently. Two beeps will be heard.

Warnings:

• Do not remove the iron from the container until the process has finished. Boiling water and steam will be released through the soleplate, removing limescale and/or deposits that may be inside.
• The container must only be used to perform the descaling process. It must not be used as a stand for the iron while ironing.
• Press the steam release button (12) for 2 seconds. The descaling process will start automatically. During this process, short beeps will be heard.
• After approximately 3 minutes, the iron will stop releasing steam. A long beep will be heard, indicating that descaling process has finished. The appliance will switch off automatically.
