IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

1) Read these instructions carefully.

2) When in use, the appliance contains pressurized steam: improper use could result in serious hazards. This appliance is intended for domestic use only, and must be used in accordance with the operating instructions contained in this booklet. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for damage deriving from the improper use of the appliance.

3) Always disconnect the appliance from mains when filling up the water chamber or before any maintenance or care operation.

4) Before use, check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated in the ratings plate on the bottom part of the appliance.

5) Connect your cleaner only to power outlets with a minimum of 10 amps making sure the outlet is earthed.

6) Do not aim the steam jet at mains outlets, live wires, or other electrified elements, which could result in damage and electric shock.

7) Do not aim the steam jet to the appliance itself.

8) Do not tug at the power cord or the appliance itself, to disconnect from mains.

9) Do not run the appliance over the power cord as this may damage the insulation.

10)NEVER OPEN THE CAP BEFORE ALL THE WATER IN THE CHAMBER HAS BEEN USED. This is indicated by the lack of steam output from the iron or other accessories. To refill, disconnect from mains and wait about 15 min to avoid sudden changes in temperature, then place a cloth over the cap and twist slowly to open, allowing any residual steam to escape.

11) Always disconnect all electrically operated appliances (hobs, ovens, refrigerators, hoods, etc) before steam cleaning. Wait until completely dry before reconnecting, as any residual moisture could result in shock hazard.

12) Avoid skin contact with steam. High temperature may cause serious burns. Do not aim the water or steam jet at people or animals and do not use on surfaces or objects with a low resistance to the machine's operating temperature.

13) When using the machine, hold it by its handle only: it contains a steam-generator water chamber whose surface heats up during normal use. Users who are particularly sensitive to heat or suffer from heat-sensitive disorders should take particular care when handling this appliance.

14) Do not add detergents or other cleaning agents to the water in the chamber. Use plain water only.

15) Before storing the machine for long periods, check that there is no water in the water chamber.

16) Do not leave the iron on any flat surface without using the special mat.

17) Do not stand the iron upright.

18)Do not leave the appliance unattended while in operation. Keep it away from the reach of children and persons unfit to use it.

19) Let the iron soleplate cool down before storing the appliance after ironing.

20) Do not attempt to use the machine if it appears to be faulty: Contact your dealer or an authorized Technical Service Centre.

21) If the overheating safety control is activated, the iron and the control panel will stop operating. In this case, the appliance can only be re-activated by qualified service personnel.

22) Do not expose the appliance to rain or moisture. Keep out of direct sunlight.

23) For all repairs, always contact your Dealer and have your appliance serviced at an authorized Technical Service Centre: Always use original spare parts and accessories so as to maintain the appliance in good working order and not invalidate the guarantee.

ASSEMBLING AND PREPARED FOR USE

SETTING UP THE STEAM-GENERATOR WATER CHAMBER

Always make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the power mains before you perform any setting-up or maintenance operations.

To open the water chamber, twist the cap counterclockwise to unscrew (fig. 1).

Fill the chamber with no more than 1.5 litres of tap water (a higher level could impair the operation of the machine) (fig. 2).

Reposition the cap and tighten until securely locked.

SAFETY CAP

Your machine is equipped with a safety cap that will turn idly as long as the chamber is pressurized only to engage and unscrew as soon as the pressure abates.

To open the steam generator, proceed as follows:

• Never open the cap until the water is completely finished.

• Discharge all steam using the switch on the handgrip or the steam delivery button on the iron.

• Turn the appliance off using the ON/OFF switch and unplug from the mains socket.
• Wait a few minutes (at least 15).
• Place a cloth over the tank cap when opening. Open the cap slowly and carefully to allow residual steam to escape.

FITTING CLEANING TOOLS ONTO THE MACHINE

To fit the flexible hose onto the machine (fig. 3):

• insert the flexible hose into its coupling pressing in until it clicks into place;
• clamp with slight pressure the flap into its housing.
  make sure the hose is firmly in place by trying to remove it without pressing the locking button.

All cleaning tools and accessories are fitted onto one or both extension tubes as required, proceeding as follows:

• firmly grasp the piece onto which to fit the accessory. Push the locking button with the thumb of the same hand.
  with your other hand, insert the accessory and slide it in carefully until the locking button pops out (fig. 4).

To remove the accessory, reverse the operation, taking care not to pinch the thumb holding down the button.

SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON

Connect the plug to a mains outlet, switch the on/off button (6) to the on position and switch the steam generator on by means of its switch (5). The switch indicators (3 and 4) will come on.

When the steam-generator indicator (3) goes out and the needle on the pressure gauge (2) (where provided) is in the green area, the machine is ready for use. This will take approx. 15 minutes.

While using, the indicator (3) will go on and off. This is completely normal.

For steam output, press button (1) and then keep trigger (2) depressed (fig. 5). When the trigger (2) on the handgrip is released, steam output will stop immediately.

N.B. A professional iron can be supplied with your steam cleaner on request.

SETTING UP THE IRONING SYSTEM

To connect the iron to the machine:

• open the hatch (7) on the appliance;
• fit the iron coupling into its slot, pressing in firmly until the locking button clicks;
  make sure the coupling is firmly in place by trying to remove it without pressing the locking button.

To switch the machine on, follow the instructions described above.

Adjust the iron thermostat to the required position (fig. 7).

REFILLING THE WATER CHAMBER

The water chamber can be refilled only when steam output has stopped. Proceed as follows:

• Turn off the machine by depressing the on/off switch and disconnect from the mains.
• Wait several minutes before refilling the chamber so as to avoid sudden changes in temperature.

Wait for the steam generator indicator (3) and iron indicator to go out before you start ironing.

Before using the iron for the first time, it is advisable to direct steam onto a cloth for some seconds to eliminate any impurities that may be inside the iron. To do this, press the "steam output" button (A, fig. 8) on the upper part of the iron.

Adjust the steam control (1) to obtain the quantity of steam required.

ADVICE FOR PERFECT IRONING RESULTS

Adjust steam output to the maximum setting by turning the steam control (1) clockwise. Steam the area to be ironed by pressing the "steam output" button (A, fig. 8) on the iron and holding the iron about 20~cm above the garment.

8

The best technique for perfect ironing is to dampen the garment with steam, then dry-iron for wrinkle-free results.

Remember that very heavy fabrics or difficult creases need more steaming than lightly wrinkled garments, which require only minimum steaming.

DRY IRONING

Switch on only the on/off switch (6), leaving the steam generator switch (5) off. Wait for the indicator light on the iron to go out before ironing.
