Always supervise chil- dren. Make sure they do not play with the applian- ce. - The user must never leave the iron unattended when plugged in. - Never place the iron under the tap to top up with water. Always use the measure provided. = IFthe power cable is damaged, have it replaced immediately by a qualified electrician. = The safety of this appliance is guaranteed only if correcily connected to a proper and effective earth connection as specified by current electrical safety standards and regulations. This fundamental safety

requisite should be verified. If in doubt, ask a quali- fied electrician to check the mains system tho- roughly. Failure to earth the appliance absolves the manufacturer of all liability for damage. When the appliance is to be discarded, after unplug- ging from the mains, the lead should be cut as close as possible to the iron to make the appliance unusable. Before cleaning or servicing, disconnect the appliance by unplugging from he mains. In the event of malfunction and/or faulty operation, switch off the appliance and take it to an authorised ser- vice centre. This appliance must be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was expressly conceived. Any other use is considered improper and thus dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by inappropriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for damage resulting from repairs carried out by unquali- fied personnel. Never overfill the tank and never add stain removers or similar products. Save these instructions for future reference. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface. IFthe appliance is dropped causing visible damage, do not use. Take to a professional service centre. When placing the iron on the iron rest, make sure the iron rest is located on a stable surface. The iron should be placed on a flat surface extremely resistant to high temperatures. This appliance complies with directive 89/336/EEC on radio interference suppression.

MAIN COMPONENTS Plate Thermostat dial Indicator light Transparent tank Spray Tank fill hole Steam regulator Spray button Super steam button —roOnmounwxz Read this manual thoroughly before using the appliance. This will ensure optimum results and maximum safety. Important: Before plugging the appliance in, check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage [V] indicated on the rating plate of the iron. The socket must be efficiently earthed.

STEAM IRONING This iron works with normal tap water. a) Before filling the tank, make sure the steam regulator G is in the "dry" LS position (fig. 1). Make sure the power cable is unplugged from the mains socket. Fill the measure to the level mark then pour the water into the iron [fig. 2) keeping it in a horizontal position. Itis important that the iron is always unplugged from the mains every time you fill or top up the water in the tank. c) Plug the iron into the mains socket. d} A special segment &£a on the thermostat dial B identi- fies the steam range. The steam will be wet if the ther- mostat pointer B is at the beginning of the segment and dryer if it is towards the end. Make sure the fabric to be ironed is suitable for steam ironing. When using the iron

for the first time, you are recommended to pass it seve- ral times over a piece of cloth first. After these checks, select the required temperature by rotating the thermostat dial B. f The indicator light € will come on to show the iron is on. After about a minute in the case of maximum tempera- ture, the indicator light will go off showing that the iron is ready for use. Continuous steam delivery is obtained by turning the steam regulator G to the QD or @lhy (to obtain more steam) position. Steam delivery ceases whenever the iron is placed in a vertical position on the rear rest (posi- tion recommended during pauses in ironing) or with the

iron horizontal when the steam regulator G is in the dry

k position. Note” On he back of the iron there is a useful guide giving information on the temperature to set according to the garment being ironed: Q CL]

Remember that the steam function can only be used when the thermostat is on the {Ÿasegment. DRY IRONING + Plug in the iron and select the temperature, if there is water in the tank, place the steam regulator G in the dry %K position (fig. 11. Wait until the indicator light C goes off showing that the required temperature has been reached. + _IFthe fabric to be ironed is slighily damp or you iron fast, you can use a higher temperature. If, on the other hand, the garments are dry or you iron slowly, use a lower temperature. SUPER STEAM [FIG. 3) °_ Place the thermostat dial (B) on maximum. When the light (C) goes off, press the super steam button! [I]. For correct operation of the super steam function, you must wait a few seconds between one burst of steam and the next.

VERTICAL IRONING (FIG. 4) Enables delicate garments to be steamed without resting them on the ironing board: pay attention to the temperatu- re used to steam hanging fabrics. Place the steam regulator (G) in the dry #K position. Rotate the thermostat dial B clockwise as far as it will go (maximum steam position]. When the light (C) goes off, place the iron in a vertical position and move it near the garment. Press the super steam button dlb {I} until the light (C] comes on again. Wait until the light goes off before continuing verti- cal ironing. Never direct the "vertical" steam jet at a garment hanging in a wardrobe or worn by a person. Vertical ironing should always be carried out with the garment hanging on a clothes stand and always away from other garments, elements, people and animals. SPRAY ?# If during ironing, you note particularly resistant creases or if your garment requires a higher level of dampness, you can use the spray. Make sure the tank contains water. Press the spray button J (H) repeatedly, directing the spray jet towards the parts of the garment to be dampened. Never use the spray when ironing silk as the drops of water could mark the fabric.

AFTER IRONING To extend he working life of the iron, whenever you finish ironing, you are recommended to empty the tank as follows: Unplug from the mains socket. Empty the iron, holding it point downwards and shaking it genily over a basin or sink. To dry the remaining moisture, turn the iron on again with the thermostat on the maximum position for about #wo minutes. Unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool. Clean the plate with a dry cloth as traces of moisture could mark it. Wind the power cable around the cable winder. Store the iron in a vertical position.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Afer use, always wait uni he iron is cold belore pufing away. Allow to cool in a vertical position. Keep the surface of the plate clean. Do not rest or use the iron on zips, hooks, rings etc to avoid scratching the plate. Clean the plate with a damp cloth only, never use abrasives or solvents. IFthe amount of stream drops during use, this could be cau- sed by excessive build-up of limescale. To remove, proceed as follows: fill the tank to the "MAX" level; plug the appliance into the mains and place the ther- mostat in the MAX position. When the iron has reached the required temperature (light off}, unplug the applian-

ce and leave in a horizontal position; + place over a sink; turn the steam regulator clockwise as far as it will go. The limescale rod is released and the regulator lifis up: + shake the appliance genily to drain the water in the tank through the plate, taking the impurities with it: + _to replace the limescale rod } position, push and turn the steam regulator to the QD position; + plug the appliance into the mains and leave in opera- tion for at least to minutes to dry the plate. + atthe end, unplug the appliance from the mains. Leave the iron to cool and clean the outside with a soft cloth. Important information for correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive 2002/96/EC.
