• Always disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning or performing maintenance and when the appliance is not in use.

• The iron must be used on a stable surface. When the iron is placed on the iron rest, make sure the support is stable. The iron must not be used if it has been dropped, if it is visibly damaged or if it leaks water.EN

• After having removed the appliance from its packaging, verify its integrity based on the drawing and any presence of damage caused by transport. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and contact an authorised service centre.

• Do not let children play with the packaging! Keep the plastic bag out of the reach of children - risk of suffocation!

• Before connecting the appliance, please make sure that the voltage data indicated on the identification technical data correspond to those of the mains voltage. The identification technical data are found on the appliance.

• This appliance must be used solely for the purpose for which it was designed, namely, as a boiler iron for home use. Any other use is considered not compliant and therefore dangerous.

• If the appliance if faulty or malfunctions, switch it off and do not tamper with it. Any repairs must only be carried out by an authorised technical service centre. DO NOT use the appliance with wet hands, damp feet or barefoot. DO NOT pull the power cable or the appliance itself to remove the plug from the socket. DO NOT expose the appliance to humidity or weather conditions (rain, sun).

• If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by an authorised technical service centre, so as to prevent all risks.

• The electrical safety of this appliance is only guaranteed when it is connected correctly to an effective earthing system as required by applicable electrical safety standards. This important safety requirement must be verified and, if in doubt, request a thorough check of the system by a qualified technician. DO NOT immerse the iron, the power cord or the plug in any kind of liquid. DO NOT leave the hot iron in contact with easily flammable fabric. DO NOT dispense steam when the iron is resting on its mat. DO NOT use chemical additives, scented substances or descaling agents.EN

IMPORTANT GUIDELINES The appliance is designed to work with tap water; however, if the water in your 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 such cases it is important to use "demineralised water for irons" available on the market. If in doubt, only demineralised water for steam irons must be used. Do not use diluting agents, scented liquids or descaling agents as these substances 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.

into position (Fig. E). ATTENTION! Do not overturn or shake the steam generator when the reservoir is full. Intellivapor technology This boiler is equipped with "IntelliVapor" technology, which allows you to iron any type of fabric without having to adjust steam and plate temperature. Fabrics with the following symbols can be ironed (linen, cotton, silk, polyester wool, and viscose)

Fabrics with this symbol cannot be ironed (spandex, elatsan or prints) Ironing

• Place the boiler on a flat and firm surface.

• Ensure that there is water in the reservoir (1) (see chapter: "Filling the removable water reservoir").

• Connect the plug (4) to a suitable socket.

• Press the ON/OFF button (3).

• Upon switch-on, all the LEDs on the dashboard will light up simultaneously for a few seconds.

• Start ironing when the steam (ready) LED (6) lights up and stops blinking. The plate temperature LED (11) goes on and off intermittently while ironing, indicating that the appliance maintains the optimal temperature.

• Press the steam button (13) to steam iron.

• Dry iron by not pressing the steam button (13). Steam shot The steam shot function can be used to eliminate difficult creases.

• Press the ON/OFF button (3).

• Disconnect the plug (4) 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. F).

• Loosen the cleaning cap (2) by turning it anti-clockwise with a coin (Fig. G).

• Let the water and limescale drain from the hole.

• Shake the boiler once again for the remaining water and limescale chips to come out.

• Tighten the cleaning cap (2) by turning it clockwise.

• Refill the water reservoir (1) before using the boiler again.

• Insert the plug (4) in the socket.

• Press the ON/OFF button (3).

• The boiler cleaning LED (7) continues blinking: press the ECO button (5) until the LED goes off. Make sure the cleaning cap (2) is tightened well.

TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter describes the most common problems that can arise using the appliance. If the problems cannot be solved with the information below, please contact the Authorised Assistance Centre. Problem Possible cause Solution The appliance does not turn on. The household appliance is not on. Ensure that the appliance is properly connected to the socket, that the ON/ OFF button (3) is pressed and the light is on. The plate temperature LED (11) goes on and o. Normal procedure. The switching ON and OFF of the LED (11) indicates the heating phase of the iron. The LED goes o once the set temperature is reached. Smoke comes out of the appliance when it is switched on for the rst 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 (12). This is perfectly normal in a new iron. These particles are completely harmless and will disappear after the iron is used a few times. The appliance does not produce steam. The appliance is not on. Press the ON/OFF button (3). The steam button (13) is not being pressed. Keep the steam button (13) pressed as you iron. The water in the reservoir (1) has nished and the no water LED (8) is on. Fill the water reservoir (1) (see chapter:

FILLING THE RESERVOIR WHILE

IRONING). The water reservoir (1) is not positioned correctly on the boiler and the no water LED (8) is on. Position the reservoir by making it slide on the guides until it clicks into position. The boiler cleaning LED (7) continues blinking even after it has been cleaned. The ECO button (5) was not held down long enough. Hold the ECO button (5) down until the LED goes o. The plate (12) is dirty: there are impurities or limescale residues. 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 at a temperature that is too high. Wait for the plate to cool down and clean it with a damp cloth. An excessive amount of limescale and minerals has accumulated in the boiler. Clean the boiler (see the CLEANING THE BOILER chapter).EN

The cleaning cap (2) has not been tightened properly. Make sure the cleaning cap is tightened well. 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 does not stay up in vertical position. The iron has been designed to be set horizontally. Place the iron on the heat resistant mat (9).
