Important points before using the iron

• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Make sure the iron is completely cooled down before putting away.
• Burns can occur from torching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down, there may be hot water in the reservoir.
• If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect it from the power supply and contact the nearest authorized service agent.
• Your iron is designed to rest on the heel. Do not leave the iron unattended when switched on. Do not place the iron on an unprotected surface even if it is on its heel rest.
• Keep the base very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (buttons, zips, etc.)
• Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased, therefore the iron could smoke a little when plugged in for the first time. This will stop after a short while.
• Remove the plastic protector from the base(if it has one) clean the base with a soft cloth.

• Unplug the iron.
• Set the steam button to dry ironing .(fig.3)
  • Fill the tank through the filling hole.(fig.1, 2)

Do not store the iron with water in the tank.

Do not use chemically de-limed water or perfumed.

If you have hard water, it is advisable to use only distilled or demineralized water.

Selecting the temperature

• Check the ironing instructions on the garment to be ironed.
• If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you know the kind of fabric in question, use the chart below.
• Fabrics that have some kind of finish (polishing, wrinkles, contrasts....) can be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
• If the fabric contains several kinds of fibres, always select the temperature applicable, if an article contains 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you must always choose the temperature corresponding to polyester and without steam.
• First classify the articles to be ironed according to the most suitable ironing temperature : wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc. as the iron heats up as fast as it cools , start by ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Progress towards those that require the highest temperatures.
• Turn the temperature control until it is in front of the appropriate signal according to the following:
• position for nylon and acetate.
  … position for wool, silk or mixures.
  … position for cotton or linen (steam).

Operation procedures

• Fill the iron as described in the section "how to fill the water tank".
• Plug the iron into the electric socket.
• Steam ironing is only possible when the highest temperatures on the temperature control (16) are selected.
  Otherwise, water may escape through the soleplate.
• Wait until the power indicator light (12) goes out, which indicates that the selected temperature has been reached.
• Turn the steam button to the required position.
• When the ironing is finished and during breaks, place the iron in its upright position.
• Disconnect the iron from the mains supply when finished. Pour of any remaining water out of it and make sure the iron cools down before putting away.

Spray

• The spray can be used in any position, either in dry or steam ironing, as long as the water tank is filled with water.
• Press the spray button for this function.
  • This button has to be pressed repetitively to start this function for the first time.

Shot of steam

Shot of steam give extra steam for removing persistent wrinkles.

• Place the temperature selector at the "max" position and wait until the power indicator light goes out
• Wait for a few seconds for the steam to penetrate the fibre before pressing again.
• For the best steam quality, do not use more than three successive bursts each time.
  Several pumping actions are needed to start this function.
  Excessive use of this feature will cause the iron to cool, ensure that the power indicator light is out, before operating the shot of steam control.
