The safety of your steam iron complies with the technical specifications and standards in force.

Use the appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. This product is intended only for ironing of clothing and household laundry. This appliance must be exclusively connected to a grounded socket. When using an extension cord, make sure that a grounded socket is available. Inspect the conditions of the power cord on a regular basis. Do not fill the water reservoir by holding the appliance directly under the tap. Always use the water measurer supplied with the appliance. Make sure you have disconnected the plug from the electrical socket before filling and emptying the water reservoir and in any case after each

use. Disconnect the plug from the socket by holding the plug, and not by pulling the cable. Avoid contact between the power cord and the iron plate when hot. Do not wind the power cord around the plate when hot. Use the cord, instead.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES The voltage of your electrical mains must correspond to the voltage of the steam iron (220-240 V). Improper connection may result in irreversible damage for the appliance, voiding its warranty.

The iron, water and steam coming out of the plate are extremely hot and can burn the

Before storing the appliance, wait until it has cooled down completely (a steam iron takes about one hour to cool down). Use the handle to store the appliance after use. Do not direct the steam towards people or animals and do not iron garments while worn. After use, store the appliance in a stable position, using the stand on the back of the iron. Never add any perfume, vinegar, starch, scale-removing agents, ironing products or other chemicals in the water reservoir - unless recommended by Hotpoint-Ariston. Never use contaminated water. Never immerse the appliance in water or in any other liquid. The appliance must not be left outdoor and exposed to weather agents. Never leave or use the appliance in the proximity of flames, ovens, flammable materials or other heat sources. Never use the appliance for any purposes other than the ones for which it has been designed. In case of suspected damage, immediately disconnect the plug from the electrical socket. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility in case of damage resulting from the improper use of the appliance.

en it BEFORE USE Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all stickers, protective plastic or cardboard case from the soleplate of the iron. Make sure that all adhesive parts have been removed from the soleplate with a dampened soft cloth and eliminate any residues or particles from the manufacturing process, by repeatedly filling and emptying the water reservoir. When switching on the iron for the first time, you may notice an unpleasant odour, a little smoke and some impurities that will disappear in a few minutes. When using the steam function for the first time, do not direct the steam jet on the garments because of the possible presence of manufacturing residues in the steam dispenser.

USING THE IRON In order to make reading this instructions manual easier and identify the model of your Quick Perfect iron, refer to the graphics on page II.

Connect the plug of the appliance into a grounded socket (220-240V). The LCD (14) lights up in red and starts flashing to indicate that the iron is reaching the set temperature. Use the temperature buttons +/- (4a) to select the desired temperature. An acoustic signal is emitted every time you press one of the two buttons, the display lights up and starts flashing to indicate that the steam iron is reaching the selected temperature. When the iron reaches the set temperature, an acoustic signal is emitted, the LCD lights up in green and the set temperature is shown in fixed mode to indicate that the iron is ready for use. Make sure to check the garment label in order to identify the fabric type. In case of doubts, it is recommended not to the use spray function and iron a hidden corner in order to determine the most appropriate temperature and avoid damaging the fabric. In case of very delicate fabrics, such as silk, wool, and synthetic materials, iron the garment inside out to prevent shiny marks. Start ironing the garments that require a lower temperature, such as synthetic fabrics. Fabrics with this symbol on the label must not be ironed.

GARMENT LABEL Set the steam regulator (3) to Off. Tilt the iron in such a position to make water entrance easier. Open the lid of the filler hole (13) and fill the water reservoir using the water measurer supplied with the iron. Never fill the water reservoir above the maximum water level (10). Close the lid of the filling hole.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE After use (I) 1.

Set the steam regulator (3) to Off, disconnect the appliance plug from the electrical socket and let the iron cool down.

Empty the water reservoir (9). Wind the cord around the cable winder (6) and store the iron in vertical position, in a dry safe place. Never store the iron in horizontal position. Always use the stand at the back of the iron.

Set the steam regulator (3) to Off, disconnect the appliance plug from the electrical socket and let the iron cool down. Use a dry or slightly dampened soft cloth to clean the upper part of the iron. For the ordinary cleaning and/or removal of stains or other residues deposited on the plate, clean with a dampened soft cloth and dry. Use a dampened cotton tip to eliminate scale in the steam holes that may impair the performance of your iron.

In order to keep the soleplate perfectly smooth and polished, avoid contacts with metal objects, do not iron sharp objects, such as buttons, studs and hinges in order to avoid scratching the plate. 5.

Regularly rinse the reservoir with clean water. After cleaning, always empty the water reservoir.

Auto-Clean Function (K1)

Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate with scale residues and other impurities. Never use plastic containers for collection. 7.

TIPS If your Compact Generator is not equipped with the Optimal Soleplate Temperature technology, you may find the following tips useful. • • •

Sort the garments out according to the fabric types. This will reduce the need to adjust the temperature according to the different fabrics. Start with the garments that require a low ironing temperature and continue with the garments requiring higher ironing temperatures. If you are not sure about the composition of the fabric, try ironing a hidden part such as a seam, hem or internal section. Start with a low temperature and gradually increase it until you find the ideal ironing setting. When you reduce the Compact Generator’s temperature to iron delicate garments, wait approximately 2 minutes to let the iron reach the new settings. Pure wool (100% wool) garments can be steamironed as long as the temperature is set to wool. We recommend using a cotton cloth to prevent any shiny marks on the garment. Never iron areas with obvious perspiration marks because the heat will fix the stains and make them permanent.

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES The European Directive 2012/19/UE on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
