This appliance has been designed to use normal tap water.

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

1 Unplug the iron from the mains. 2 Open the water inlet lid (7). 3 Fill the water tank. Never fill beyond the level mark for maximum filling (9)! 4 Close the water inlet lid.

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

2. Heating

Remove any labels or protective covering from the soleplate (10).

1 Plug in the iron. 2 "SensorSteam" function will be activated and the indicator lamp (2) will flash. 3 The "eco" steam mode is automatically selected.

4 The “TempOK” indicator lamp (12) will flash, indicating that the iron is heating up. When the iron is ready to use, the indicator lamp will remain lit continuously.

This technology sets an appropriate combination of temperature and steam, which is suitable for all fabrics that can be ironed (symbols 🐘 🐘 🐘).

The “i-Temp” technology does not apply to fabrics that cannot be ironed (symbol ☒).

Please check the garment care label for details or try ironing on a part of the fabric not visible normally.

3. "SensorSteam" function

After the initial heating, “SensorSteam” function switches off the iron when it is left unattended, thus increasing security and saving energy.

1 While the handle is gripped, the iron heats up. The "SensorSteam" indicator lamp (2) will remain lit continuously. 2 When the handle is released, the "SensorSteam" function is activated. The "SensorSteam" indicator lamp (2) will flash.

4. Steam settings

This iron generates steam by means of a built-in motor. While the motor is working, the "MotorSteam" indicator lamps (14) of the water tank come on.

The iron is equipped with a sensor so that the steam is generated only while ironing in a horizontal position. Thus, unnecessary steam production is avoided.

The steam mode can be selected by pressing the “SET” button (3) successively. The iron runs through the following cycle:

Steam mode	Indicator lamp (4)
Medium(continuous steam)	“eco”(green)
Maximum(continuous steam)	“max”(red)
Dry ironing(ironing without steam)	off

Steam production can be controlled manually for steam ironing only when necessary. Select dry ironing mode and press the motor activation trigger (1).

5. Shot of steam function

Shot of steam can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles or to press in a sharp crease or pleat.

1 Press the shot of steam button (6) repeatedly with intervals of at least 5 seconds.

6. "MotorSteam" function

This appliance has a special function for tackling difficult creases.

1 Press the motor activation trigger (1) two times in quick succession (double-click). 2 The motor will release a powerful shot of steam. 3 Wait 10 seconds between each press of the trigger.

7. Vertical steam

Vertical steam can be used to remove creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.

1 Hang article of clothing on a clothes hanger. 2 Operate the iron in a vertical position at a distance of 10 cm / 4 in, and press the shot of steam button (6) repeatedly with pauses of at least 5 seconds.

Important: If the “SensorSteam” indicator lamp (2) flashes while ironing in a vertical position, it means that the handle is not properly gripped and the iron will cool down.

8. Spray

Spray can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles.

1 When ironing, press the spray button (5) and water will spray out of the spray nozzle (8) onto the garment.

Tip: Do not use the spray function with silk.

Tip: For immediate storage of the iron, you may use the "StoreProtect" accessory (see "Accessories" section).

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. If the iron is only slightly soiled, pull out the plug and allow the soleplate (7) to cool down. Wipe the housing and the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth only. 2. To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad or chemicals to clean the soleplate.

Descaling systems

A "self-clean"

The "self-clean" filter prevents motor from blocking.

B "anti-calc"

The "anti-calc" cartridge has been designed to reduce the build-up of scale produced during steam ironing.

C "Calc'nClean" function

The "Calc'nClean" function helps to remove scale particles out of the steam chamber.

If the water in your area is very hard, you may use this function approximately every two weeks.

1 Unplug the iron from the mains socket.

Tip: For deep descaling, it is recommended to use the descaling liquid (see “Accessories” section). This procedure should be carried out every 3 months.

Pour a measure (25 ml) of the descaling fluid into the water tank.

2 Fill the water tank up to the level mark for maximum filling. 3 Plug in the iron. 4 When the lamp "TempOK" (12) remains lit continuously, unplug the iron (very important!). 5 Hold the iron over a sink. 6 Press the “clean” button (11) and shake the iron back and forth keeping it in a horizontal position until approximately one third of the water capacity of the tank is evaporated. Boiling water and steam will come out, carrying scale or deposits that might be there. 7 Release the "clean" button, and gently shake the iron for some seconds. 8 Repeat steps 6 and 7. 9 Check carefully that the water tank is empty (very important!). 10 Plug the iron in and heat it up again until the remaining water has evaporated. 11 Unplug the iron and let the soleplate cool down. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth only.
