DESCRIPTION BEFORE USE IMPORTANT Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate protector fig.1 Warning! Before

using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend that you operate the

steam in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of

Steam button a few times. During the first few uses, a harmless odour and a small amount of

smoke may be noticable. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will cease quickly.

WHAT WATER MAY BE USED ?

Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check with

your local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50%

untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.

IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of

water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown

staining or premature wear of the appliance: water from tumble dryers, scented or softened

water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water

or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiling, or bottled mineral water.

1 • Filling the water tank

• Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron fig.2.

• Set the temperature control dial fig.3 on position (Min.)

• Open the filling inlet fig.4. Fill in water up to the Max. mark. fig.5. Close the filler inlet

and return the iron to the horizontal position.

• You can plug in your iron fig.6

2 • Setting the temperature

Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam Electronic Control function*, it

automatically adjusts the steam amount and the temperature based on the selected

fabric for optimum results.

EN Select the fabric to be ironed on the thermostat dial. For perfect results, an optimum

position for each fabric has been pre-defined. This position is marked on the dial and

also represented with a louder “click” sound. You can also set your iron based on

the international temperature measurements •, ••, •••. Ensure your thermostat dial is

positioned on these settings.

When your iron reaches the required temperature, the thermostat indicator turns off

fig.7. You can start ironing.

IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that you start

with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the

most delicate fabric.

TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

Set the temperature to suit the type of material without pushing the autosteam

trigger and shot of steam button.

4 • Steam ironing (Autosteam & Steamforce)

Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam function*. The steam quantity and the

temperature will adjust automatically to the selected fabric. To get continuous

steam squeeze the autosteam trigger fig.8.

Your iron is equipped with a pump called Steamforce Technology which pushes

30 % more steam into the heart of the fibres. The pump may cause a slight noise. This

is not a technical fault! A few seconds are necessary to produce or to stop the steam.

Press the shot of steam button to generate a powerful jet of steam fig.9.

IMPORTANT Leave an interval of a few seconds between each shot and wait until the flow of

steam has finished before standing the iron on its heel.

6 • Vertical shot of steam (from temperature setting (••) upwards)

Hold the iron vertically and press the shot of steam button to remove creases from

suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc. fig.10.

IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals!

TIP Hold the iron 10 to 20 centimetres away from the garment to avoid burning delicate

Press the spray button to dampen difficult creases fig.11.

8 • Anti-Drip system

It prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low.

9 • Auto Off function*

• For your safety, the electronic system cuts off the power and the auto off indicator

light flashes fig.12a-12b when:

- The iron remains motionless for more than 8 minutes on its heel.
