IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, certain basic safety precautions must be followed, including the following:

• Read all the instructions before using.
• Only use the iron for its intended purpose.
• To prevent electric shocks, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron must always be at the "MIN" setting before plugging into or unplugging from the mains. Never pull on the power cord to unplug; always pull on the plug to unplug.
• Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces. Allow the iron to cool fully before putting away.
  Always unplug the iron from the mains while filling or emptying water or when it is not in use.
• Do not use the iron with a damaged power cord, or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To prevent any electric shock hazard, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to your nearest authorised technical service centre for inspection and repair. Incorrect assembly may cause electric shocks during use.
  Any appliance should be kept under careful watch when it is used by or near children. Never leave the iron unattended while it is plugged into the mains or while it is on the ironing board.
• You may suffer burns or scalds if you touch the hot metal parts, the hot water or the steam. Be careful when turning the iron upside down; there may be hot water inside the tank.
  If the iron does not work normally, unplug from the mains and contact your nearest authorised technical service centre.
• The iron has been designed to stand on its heel. Do not leave the iron unattended while it is plugged in the mains socket. Do not leave the iron on an unprotected surface, even when it is standing on its heel.
• Never use the appliance if it is damaged.
• Fully unroll the power cord.
• Always unplug the iron when it is not in use, even for short periods. Unplug from the mains socket and leave it standing on its heel.
• Make sure that children cannot touch the hot iron or pull on the power cord.
  Always unplug the iron before filling with water or removing excess water.
• NEVER immerse the iron in water.
• Check that the voltage rating on the product's nameplate matches the mains supply voltage. Choose within the range between 120V and 230V by turning the "voltage selector" switch. Before plugging the iron into the mains, check that the "voltage selector" switch is in the right position. Select the desired value using a pencil tip or similar object. Please remember that if the switch is in the wrong setting, it may cause a failure or the required temperature may not be reached.

• This is a travel iron and is not intended or designed for regular use.

• This product must not be used by children or by other people without assistance or supervision if their physical, sensory or mental condition limits safe use of the appliance. Children must be watched to make sure that they do not play with the appliance.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised technical service centre or by a qualified technician in order to avoid hazards.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. In order to avoid overloading the line, do not operate another high-power appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cable is absolutely necessary, use a 13 A cable. Cables with a lower current rating may heat. Be careful where you lay the cable so that it cannot be dragged or tripped over.

Tips before using the iron for the first time

1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased; because of this, the iron may smoke a little when it is turned on for the first time. This will stop after a short time.
   2 Before using the iron for the first time, remove the protective plastic from the soleplate (if it has it). Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
2. Keep the soleplate clean. Do not slide it over metal objects (such as the ironing board, buttons, zips, etc.).
3. Pure wool fibres (100% wool) can be ironed with the appliance in the steam setting. It is best to select a high steam setting and use a dry ironing cloth.

SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE

1. Check the ironing instructions for the garment you wish to iron.
2. If the garment has no ironing instructions but you know the fabric, use the table below.
3. The fabrics that have some kind of finish (glosses, crimping, contrasts, etc.) can be ironed at the lowest temperature.
4. If the fabric contains several types of fibre, always select the temperature applicable to the fibre that requires the lowest temperature setting. For example, if a garment contains 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you should always choose the temperature setting for polyester and without steam.
5. First sort the garments that are to be ironed by the most suitable ironing temperature; wool with the wool setting, cotton with the cotton setting, etc. As the iron heats as quickly as it cools, start by ironing the garments that require the lowest temperature, such as those manufactured using synthetic fibres, and then move on to the garments that require higher temperatures.

6. Turn the temperature control until it is facing the appropriate mark, as follows:

7. Setting for nylon and acetate
   ** Setting for wool, silk or blends
   *** Setting for cotton or linen (steam)

HOW TO FILL THE WATER TANK

1. Unplug the iron.

GB

1. Fill the iron with water, opening the cap on top of the tank (Fig.1). Close the cap when it is full (Fig. 2)

2. If your tap water is hard, you are recommended to use only distilled or demineralised water.

3. Do not use chemically softened or perfumed water.

4. Do not put the iron away with water in the tank.

SPRAYING

1. You can spray in any position, both when ironing with or without steam, so long as there is water in the tank.
2. Press the spray button to operate.

Note: This button must be pressed several times to start it operating.

STEAM JET

The steam jet provides extra steam for removing persistent creases.

1. Move the temperature selector to the "max" setting (Fig. 3) and wait until the indicator lamp turns off
2. Wait a few seconds to allow the steam to penetrate the fibre before ironing again.

Note: In order to obtain an optimal steam quality, do not use more than three jets at a time. You need to press a few times to start it operating.

Overuse of this feature will cool the iron; make sure that the indicator lamp is off before operating the steam jet control.

CLEANING

1. Unplug the iron from the mains before cleaning.
2. Do not use solvents or abrasive products to clean the iron, use a damp cloth.

FAULTS AND REPAIRS

Do not try to replace a faulty power cord. Send the appliance to an authorised technical service centre for repair.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The iron gives off unpleasant smells or smoke.

The iron gives off an unpleasant smell when it is turned for the first time. The oil used during manufacture needs to be burnt off. This smell will disappear after about ten minutes.

The iron does not heat.

The temperature selector must be set to the desired temperature.

The STEAM JET feature does not work.

The water tank must be at least a quarter full. The temperature control must be in the steam setting. The iron must be horizontal. Press repeatedly the steam jet button. Pause briefly between presses. Press the steam jet button down fully each time.

The SPRAY MIST does not work.

The water tank must be at least a quarter full.

The iron is dripping.

The temperature set is too low to produce steam. The steam jet has been overused. Leave the iron to heat up again.
