A Preparation

1. Remove any label or protective covering from the soleplate.
2. Place the appliance horizontally on a solid, stable surface. You may remove the iron pad (2) from the appliance and place the iron on it on another solid, stable, horizontal surface. Never rest the iron on the appliance without the iron pad!
3. Open the boiler's cap (1). Fill the boiler carefully using always the funnel, and close the cap firmly. Filling with warm water reduces the waiting time for heating up. Do not overfill the boiler.
4. Unwind the mains cable (4) fully and plug it into an earthed socket.
5. Switch the main power button (9) on (position "I")
6. The "Steam ready" indicator lamp (6) will light up after approximately 7 minutes, indicating that the appliance is ready to use.
7. This appliance has a water level sensor. The "Refill boiler" indicator (7) will light when the boiler is empty. Remark: if the boiler is empty, both indicator lamps (6 and 7) may light up simultaneously. Fill the boiler as indicated in paragraph "Refilling the boiler".

Refilling the boiler

Attention! Risk of burns!

Be careful when opening the cap, steam may escape.

If the pilot lamp (7) illuminates :

1. Press the steam button (12) to check that no more steam is generated. Only then should the boiler be refilled.
2. Set the appliance switch (9) to the off position ("0") and unplug the steam station from the mains. Then wait for at least 2 minutes.
3. Open the cap (1) carefully and slowly. Allow remaining steam to escape.
4. Refill the boiler using the funnel at all times. Do not overfill the boiler.
5. If there is water left around the filling inlet, dry it with a towel before closing the boiler.
6. Close the cap firmly.

Important:

• Normal tap water can be used.

To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap water with distilled water in a 1:1 ratio. If the tap water in your area is very hard, mix tap water with distilled water in a 1:2 ratio.

You can inquire about the water hardness with your local water supplier.

- To avoid damage and/or contamination of the boiler, do not use perfumed water, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, additives, or any other type of chemical product.

Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned products will void the guarantee.

- The iron is not designed to rest on its heel. Please always position it horizontally on the iron pad (2). The iron pad can be placed into the specially designed recess on the appliance or somewhere suitable alongside the ironing area.

Never rest the iron on the appliance without the iron pad!

During its first use, the iron may produce certain vapours and odours, along with white particles on the soleplate. This is normal and will stop after a few minutes.

Setting the temperature

1. Check the ironing instruction label on the garment to determine the correct ironing temperature.
2. Turn the temperature selector (11) to the required setting:

●	Synthetics
●●	Silk – Wool
●●●	Cotton – Linen

1. The indicator lamp (13) will remain lit while the iron is heating and go out as soon as the iron has reached the selected temperature.

Tips:

• Sort your garments out based on their cleaning symbol labels, always starting with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
• If you are not sure what the garment is made of, then begin ironing at a low temperature and decide on the correct temperature by ironing a small section not usually seen when worn.

B

Ironing with steam

1. Turn the temperature selector (11) to the required setting.
2. Set the amount of steam to suit your needs, using the variable steam control (8*) (depending on the model).
3. Press the steam release button (12) to release steam.

Attention:

When ironing on a lower temperature setting “•”.

• If the appliance has variable steam control (8*), set the variable steam control to its lowest position ("小").
• If the appliance does not have variable steam control, press the steam release button (12) only for a few seconds at a time when ironing at lower temperatures.

In both cases, if you find that water is dripping out of the soleplate, set the temperature selector (11) to a higher position (take care that the garment can be ironed on this heat temperature setting).

- At the beginning of each use, it is possible that drops of water will be dispensed alongside steam. Therefore, it is advisable to try the iron on the ironing board or a piece of cloth to start with.

Tip: for better ironing results, iron the last strokes without steam to dry the garment.

Important:

- The steam hose may get hot if you are ironing for long periods.

Ironing without steam

1. Set the required ironing temperature.
2. Begin ironing but without pressing the steam release button (12).

Vertical steam

Never direct the steam jet at garments that are being worn.

Never aim the steam at people or animals.

1. Set the temperature control to the “••” or “max” position.
2. You can steam iron curtains and hanging garments (jackets, suits, coats...) by holding the iron in a vertical position and pressing the steam release button (12).

Operate the iron vertically at a distance of 10 to 20 cm.

Energy saving "eco" setting

(model dependent)

If the “eco” steam setting on the steam regulator (8*) is selected, the energy consumption of the appliance will be reduced, by means of the reduction of water consumption and electricity.

A good ironing result can be obtained for most of the garments.

Use higher settings only for thick and highly wrinkled fabrics.

Cleaning the Boiler

To extend the life of your steam generator and to avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out the boiler after several hours of use (approximately after 50 hours). If the water is hard, increase the frequency.

Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.

1. Check that the appliance is unplugged and cold for more than 2 hours.
2. Unscrew the boiler's cap (1)
3. Empty the boiler above a sink by holding the appliance upside down.
4. Fill the boiler with 500 ml of fresh water.
5. Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely over a sink or bucket.
6. To obtain the best result, we recommend that this operation is done twice
7. Close the cap

Cleaning & Maintenance

Attention! Risk of burns!

Always unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation on it.

1. After ironing, pull out the plug and allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
2. Wipe the housing, handle and iron body with a damp cotton cloth.
3. If the soleplate is soiled with dirt or scale, clean it with a damp cotton cloth.
4. If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the high temperature on the soleplate (14). Switch off the steam and rub off any residue immediately with a thickly folded, dry cotton cloth.
5. Never use abrasive products or solvents. To keep the soleplate (14) smooth, you should avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, or chemicals to clean the soleplate.

Storing the appliance

1. Set the main power to the "0" position and disconnect the mains cable.
2. Always allow the appliance to cool down before storing it.
3. Place the iron on the iron pad, standing on the soleplate.
4. Empty the boiler and store the mains cable and the steam hose in the storage compartment. Do not wrap the cords too tight.
5. Use the carrying handles (16) on the sides when moving the appliance.

Fabric protection soleplate cover

(model dependent)

The fabric-protection soleplate cover is used for steam-ironing delicate garments at maximum temperature without damaging them. Use of the soleplate cover also does away with the need for a cloth to prevent shine on dark materials. It is advisable to first iron a small section on the inside of the garment to see if it is suitable.

To attach the soleplate cover to the iron, place the tip of the iron into the end of the soleplate cover and pull the elastic strap over the lower rear of the iron until it fits tightly. To release the soleplate cover, pull the elastic strap and remove the iron.

The fabric-protection soleplate cover may be purchased from the customer service or specialist shops:

Tips to help you save energy

Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:

• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing temperature. Check the recommended ironing temperature in the label on the garment.
• Try to iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam setting.
• If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’ programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, you can iron without steam.
