The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated text (underscores) where none should exist, violating the rule to ignore such lines. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), if the GT contains lines used for stylistic emphasis or as background (like ruled paper), the OCR result must ignore them. The line in the GT is clearly a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder for text. Therefore, the OCR should not have output any underscores. Outputting `____` constitutes an error under Rule 2, as it hallucinates placeholder symbols where none are semantically intended. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

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. 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.
TIPS ON IRONING
It is recommended to use the lowest temperatures on fabric with particular details (sequins, embroidery, satin, etc.). In the case of mixed fabric, (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetic), set the temperature knob to the lowest.
To determine the temperature of a fabric with an unknown composition, first test a hidden corner, starting with a low temperature and gradually increase it to the ideal temperature. Never iron perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate sets the stains on the fabric, making them become indelible. Starch helps all the more when a dry iron is used at a low temperature: excessive heat burns it and a yellow stain may appear. Prevent shine effects from forming on silk, wool or synthetics, iron on reverse side. Prevent shine effects from forming on velvet, iron in one direction (following the fabric) and do not press on the iron.
The more the washing machine is loaded, the more creased the garments will be. The same applies when the spin speed is high. Many fabrics are ironed more easily when not completely dry. Silk should always be ironed while damp.
GB
USE
FILLING THE RESERVOIR
Verify that the plug (12) is disconnected from the socket.
Set the steam selector (5) to 0 [Fig. B].
Open the water fill cover (6).
Set the iron in a position that facilitates filling the water and prevents it from overflowing.
Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special cup (13) [Fig. C].
Do not exceed the maximum (MAX) level indicated on the reservoir (9).
Close the water fill cover (6).
SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE
Set the iron upright.
Insert the plug (12) in the socket.
Set the temperature according to the type of fabric in line with the international symbols shown on the labels; using the adjustment knob (2) [Fig. D].
Consult the table below for the correct temperatures.
The plate temperature LED (1) indicates that the iron is warming up.
Wait for the plate temperature LED (1) to go off before starting to iron.
| Label on clothing | Type of fabric | Temperature knob |
 | syntheticse.g. viscose, polyester | ● |
 | silk, wool | ● ● |
 | cotton, linen | ● ● ● |
ECO FUNCTION
The appliance is equipped with technology that optimises the steam production, thereby reducing energy consumption.
Set the steam selector (5) to ECO to activate the function.
It is recommended to use the ECO function for delicate garments (silk, wool and light cotton).
IRONING WITHOUT STEAM (DRY)
Follow the instructions in the "steam ironing" section, leaving the steam selector (5) set to 0.
IRONING WITH STEAM
Select the amount of steam via the steam selector (5).
Move the steam selector (5) to any position between minimum and maximum according to the desired amount.
Continuous steam will only be dispensed when the iron is in a horizontal position.
This stops when the iron is set upright or the steam selector (5) is set to 0.
GB
Steam can only be used at the highest temperatures, as indicated by the symbol on the temperature adjustment knob (2) [Fig. D].
If the selected temperature is too low, water droplets may drip from the plate.
Warnings: the plate temperature LED (1) goes on intermittently while ironing, thereby indicating that the selected temperature is maintained.
SUPER-STEAM AND VERTICAL STEAM
Press the super-steam button (4) to generate a strong shot of steam that penetrates the fabric and eliminates the most difficult creases.
Wait a few seconds between each pressing action of the iron [Fig. E].
Press the super-steam button (4) intermittently to iron in an upright direction (curtains, hung clothes, etc.) [Fig. F].
Warnings: The super-steam function can only be used at high temperatures.
Stop the steam when the plate temperature LED (1) lights up and start ironing when this goes off.
SPRAY FUNCTION
Verify that there is water in the reservoir (11).
Press the spray button (3): slowly for dense spray or fast for mist [Fig. G].
Warnings: first dampen the fabric lightly using the spray function (3) or alternatively, lay a damp cloth between the fabric and the iron.
Do not use the spray on silk or synthetics.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM (IF PRESENT)
The anti-drip system allows the more delicate garments to be ironed at low temperatures. If the plate cools down enough for no steam to be produced, the hot water droplets can dr on the fabric, leaving stains.
In this case, the Anti-drip System intervenes automatically by blocking the steam function, thereby allowing the more delicate garments to be ironed without the risk of ruining or staining them.
AFTER IRONING
EMPTYING THE IRON
Disconnect the plug (12) from the socket.
Empty the reservoir (11) by turning the iron upside down and shaking it lightly.
Let the iron cool down completely.
Always set the iron upright.
GB
MAINTENANCE
ZERO-CALC ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM (IF PRESENT)
A special resin filter inside the water reservoir decreases the water hardness and limits the formation of lime scale in the plate. The resin filter is permanent and cannot be replaced.
SELF CLEAN/CALC-CLEAN SYSTEM (IF PRESENT)
The function allows the internal part of the plate to be cleaned from lime scale residue or other impurities.
It is recommended to implement this function every 5 - 10 times it is used.
Fill the water reservoir (11) up to the maximum (MAX) level (9).
Set the steam selector (5) to 0.
Adjust the temperature knob (2) to maximum and wait for the plate temperature control LED (1) to go off.
Disconnect the plug (12) from the socket and immediately place the iron in a horizontal position over a wash basin.
Press the Calc-Clean (8) button until hot water, steam and any impurities or lime scale come out of the plate.
Once the iron plate has cooled down (10), clean it with a damp cloth.
CLEANING
ATTENTION!
Make sure the plug of the appliance (12) is disconnected from the socket and the plate has cooled down completely before cleaning the iron.
Any starch deposits or residue on the surface of the plate can be removed with a damp cloth and non-abrasive liquid detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metal objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth and then wiped with a dry cloth.
