IMPORTANT GUIDELINES

The appliance is designed to work with tap water, however, if the water in your residence area is very hard, mix the tap water (50%) with distilled and/or demineralised water (50%). Salt concentration in water in certain seaside areas is very high: in which case, demineralised water for steam irons (available on the market) must be used. In which case, demineralised water for steam irons (available on the market) must be used.

Do not introduce diluting agents, scented liquids or descaling agents. These can damage the product.

GB

Do not use water from dryers, air-conditioners and rain water.

The boiler may contain some water as each product is tested before being put on the market.

It is recommended to place a cloth between the iron and the fabric when using the iron for the first time.

It is recommended to direct a jet of steam into the air before starting to iron, for any residual condensation to be let out.

PREPARATIONS

Sort the laundry according to the international symbols shown on the labels; if these are missing, sort according to the type of material.

Start to iron the garments that require a lower temperature so as to reduce idle time (the iron requires less time to warm up than to cool down) and eliminate the risk of burning the fabric.

Synthetic, acrylic, nylon, polyester: low temperatures.

Wool, silk: medium temperatures.

Cotton, linen: high temperatures.

Do not iron.

USE

Filling the reservoir

Lift the reservoir water fill cover (1) and fill the water reservoir (2) without overflowing. Once finished, lower the water fill cover (1).

Ironing

• Connect the plug (14) to a suitable socket.
• Press the ON/OFF button (13). The LED will turn on.
• Adjust the iron temperature (17) according to the international symbols on the clothing labels and wait for the plate temperature LED to go off (18).
• Turn the steam adjustment knob (4) to obtain the desired amount of steam.
• When the steam (ready) LED (5) lights up and stops blinking, you can start ironing. The plate temperature LED (18) goes on and off intermittently while ironing, indicating that the appliance maintains the optimal temperature.
• Press the steam button (16) to steam iron.
• Dry iron by not pressing the steam button (16).

ATTENTION!

Use the steam button (16) only at the highest temperatures in order to prevent water drops leaking from the plate [Fig. E].

ECO function

The appliance is equipped with a new technology that optimises the steam production, thereby reducing energy consumption.

Activate the Eco function by pressing the ECO (3) button. The ECO LED lights up.

It is recommended to use the ECO function for delicate garments (silk, wool and light cotton).

The ECO function goes off automatically each time the appliance is switched off.

GB

Filling the reservoir while ironing

• When the water in the reservoir is less than the minimum level, the no water LED (7) lights up and the iron does not produce any steam.
• Lift the reservoir water fill cover (1) and fill the water reservoir (2) without overflowing. Once finished, lower the water fill cover (1) completely.
• The appliance can then ready to continue ironing.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the boiler

The boiler must be cleaned when the boiler cleaning LED (6) lights up or every 3 months, in order to prevent limescale from forming.

The boiler cleaning LED (6) lights up when the boiler must be cleaned. The LED then remains on and you can start ironing. The boiler cleaning LED (6) will remain on until the boiler is cleaned.

ATTENTION!

The boiler must only be cleaned when it is cold.

NOTE:

- Failure to carry out this operation will make the warranty null and void.

Sequence of operations:

• Press the ON/OFF button (13).
• Disconnect the plug (14) from the socket.
• Let the boiler cool down for at least 4 hours.
• Place the boiler on a wash basin.
• Shake the base to help the limescale chips detach (Fig. B).
• Remove the cap cover (11) on the rear side of the boiler by turning it anti-clockwise (Fig. C).
• Loosen the cleaning cap (12) by turning it anti-clockwise with a coin (Fig. D).
• Let the water and lime scale drain from the hole.
• Shake the boiler once again for the remaining water and limescale chips to come out.
• Tighten the cleaning cap (12) by turning it clockwise with a coin.
• Set the cap cover in place (11) by turning it clockwise.
• Refill the water reservoir (2) before using the boiler again.

Make sure the cleaning cap (12) is tightened well.

Do not clean the boiler with detergents, anti limescale products, vinegar or any other type of substance.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

This chapter describes the most common problems related to appliance use. If the problems cannot be resolved with the information below, please contact the Authorised Assistance Centre.

Problem Possible cause Solution
The appliance does not go on. The household appliance is not on.		Ensure that the appliance is properly connected to the socket, that the ON/OFF button (13) is pressed and the light is on.
The plate temperature LED (18) goes on and off.	Normal procedure.	The LED (18) switch-on/off indicates the heating phase of the iron. The LED goes once the set temperature is reached.
Smoke comes out of the appliance when it is switched on for the first time.	This is absolutely normal and is due to the expansion of the plastic material.	This no longer occurs after a while.
Impurities come out of the plate (15) of the new iron.	This is perfectly normal in a new iron.	These particles are completely harmless and will disappear after the iron is used a few times.
Drops of water come out of the plate (15).	The iron temperature adjustment knob (12) is set to a low temperature for steam ironing.	Adjust the temperature for steam ironing (see the "IRONING" chapter).
The appliance does not produce steam.	The appliance is not on. Press the ON/OFF button (13).
	The steam button (16) is not being pressed.	Keep the steam button (16) pressed as you iron.
	The water in the reservoir (2) has finished and the no water LED (7) is on.	Fill the water reservoir (2) (see chapter: Filling the reservoir while ironing).
The plate (15) is dirty: there are impurities or lime scale residue.	The impurities or chemical substances found in the water have deposited on the plate.	Wait for the plate to cool down and clean it with a damp cloth.
	You are ironing with a temperature that is too high.	Wait for the plate to cool down and clean it with a damp cloth.
	An excessive amount of lime scale and minerals has accumulated in the boiler.	Clean the boiler (see the CLEANING THE BOILER chapter).

GB

The steam (ready) LED (5) does not light up or water leaks from the boiler cleaning cap (12).	The cleaning cap (12) has not been tightened correctly.	Make sure the cleaning cap is tightened well. Use a coin to tighten the cleaning cap (12).
Patches remain wet while ironing.	Sometimes patches remain wet after being steam ironed as the steam condenses on the ironing board. Pass the iron a number of times on the wet patches without dispensing steam. If the lower part of the ironing board is wet, dry it with a dry cloth.	Use a mesh ironing board to prevent the steam from condensing on the ironing board.
The iron must not rest in vertical position.	The iron has been designed to be set horizontally.	Place the iron on the heat resistant mat.
