BEFORE USE Warning ! Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron.

Warning ! Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we

recommend that you operate it 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

This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

1 • 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 clothes 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 boiled, filtered or

IRONING BOARD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board

must be used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting

2 • Filling the water tank

IMPORTANT Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron and set the steam

control to dry position .

Tilt the iron. Open the filling inlet (fig.6). Pour in water up to the max mark (fig.7). Tilt

the iron. Open the filling inlet (fig.6). Pour in water up to the max mark (fig.7). Close

the filler inlet (fig.8) and return the iron to the horizontal.

Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the temperature control dial

Temperature control*: The temperature control light indicates that the soleplate is

heating up. When the temperature control light goes off (fig.10), the set temperature is

reached and you can begin 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 variable steam control to (fig.11) and set the temperature to suit the type of

material (care points •, ••, •••).

You can steam iron from temperature setting •• upwards.

Steam function* : The steam quantity can be set to between no steam (minimum steam

quantity) and (maximum steam quantity) (fig.12).

We recommend setting to maximum steam quantity only when the iron is at

temperature setting •••.

(from temperature setting •• upwards)

Press the shot of steam button to generate a powerful jet of steam

Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.

7 • Vertical shot of steam

(from temperature setting •• upwards)

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

Hold the iron to the vertical and press the shot of steam button ( fig.14) to remove

creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc.

IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals!

Press the spray button to dampen stubborn creases (fig.15).

9 • Anti-Drip system

IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate. Never store your iron

placed down on the soleplate.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and

13 • Anti-scale system

Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably

prolongs the operational life of your iron.

The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank

and does not need to be replaced.

14 • Descale your steam iron easily

Do not put any descaling products (vinegar, industrial descaling agents...) to rinse

out your iron: they could damage it (fig.16).

To prolong the steam performance, your iron is equipped with an integrated limescale

collector. This collector, which is located on the iron's support base, automatically

collects limescale that forms inside the iron.

It is recommended that you clean the collector every 2 months. The amount of scale

collected will depend on the hardness of the water.

BE CAREFUL: this operation should only be carried out when the iron has been

unplugged for more than one hour and has cooled down completely.

To carry out this operation, the steam iron must be close to a sink so that water can flow

from the tank when opened.

Hold the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, pointing the soleplate upwards.

To descale the iron:

Once the steam iron has completely cooled down, raise and turn the tab to unlock it

Remove the collector from the iron, it contains the limescale collected in the iron

To clean the collector thoroughly rinse in water to remove the limescale inside (fig.21).

Reposition the collector in its housing and turn the tab a quarter turn to the right in

order to lock the collector and ensure it is watertight (fig.22).

WARNING! Never use your iron without the limescale collector correctly mounted.

TIP Additionally to this regularly maintenance we recommend to perform the

following Anti Calc function after each emptying of the tray and approx. every two

weeks. If the water is very hard clean the iron weekly

15 • Anti Calc function

(prolongs the life of the iron)

The Anti Calc function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.

IMPORTANT Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining of the steam

chamber and so may impair the steam function.

Fill the water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark and heat the iron to the

••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Hold the steam

control into the Anti Calc position (fig.5) : steam will now begin to build up. After a few

seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the

Move the steam control to position after approx. 1 minute.

Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water has

evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down.

When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.

TIP Use the Anti Calc function approx. every 2 weeks.

If the water is very hard, clean the iron weekly.

16 • Cleaning the iron

When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as

Remove the dirt from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge.

IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean

soleplate and other parts of the iron.

If the appliance has been standing unused for long periods, use the Anti Calc

function (see § 15).
