Connect it only to the voltage stated on the characteristics plate. This appliance must be connected to an earthed socket. If extension cable, make sure that it has a 16A bipolar socket with an earth connection.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

⚠ Danger of electric shock or fire!

• The iron must not left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.
• Remove the plug from the socket before filling the appliance with water or before pouring out the remaining water after use.
  • The appliance must used and placed on a stable surface.
• When placed on its stand, make sure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
  • The iron should not used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking water. It must be c by an authorized Technical Service Centre before it can be used again.
• With the aim of avoiding dangerous situations, any work or repair that the appliance may need, e.g. replacing a faulty mains cable, must only be carried out by qualified person from an Authorised Technical

Service Centre.

- This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with using an reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

- Keep the iron and its cord be out of reach of children less than 8 years of age when it is energized or cooling down.

• CAUTION. Hot surface. Surface is liable to get hot during use.
• The appliance is to be connected and used in accordance with the information stated on its characteristics plate.
• This appliance must be connected earthed socket. If it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cable, make sure that it is suitable for 16A and has a socket with an earth connection.
• If the safety fuse fitted in the appliance blows, the appliance will be rendered inoperative. To restore normal operation the appliance will have to be taken to an authorised Technical Service Centre.
• In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions, phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0.27 . If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the interface point.
• The appliance must never be placed directly under the tap to fill the water tank.

to an

• Unplug the appliance from the mains supply after each use, or if a fault is suspected.
• The electrical plug must not be removed from the socket by pulling the cable.
• Never immerse the iron in water or any other fluid.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to weather conditions (rain, sun, frost, etc.).

BEFORE USING THE IRON FOR THE FIRST TIME

Fill the iron's water tank (2) and set the temperature regulator (8) to the "MAX" position.

Plug the appliance in and when the iron reaches the selected temperature (the pilot lamp (9) will go out), evaporate the water by setting the steam regulator (5) to the ( ) position and pressing the super steam button (7) repeatedly.

When using the steam for the first time, first try it away from the clothes just in case there is any dirt lodged in the steam chamber.

HOW TO USE THE IRON

The pilot lamp (9) will stay lit while the iron is heating up and go out as soon as it has reached the selected temperature. Once the iron is hot, you can start ironing even while it continues to heat itself.

Sort your garments out based on their cleaning symbol labels, always starting with clothes that have to be ironed at low temperatures.

• Synthetic fibres Low temperature

• Silk - Wool Medium temperature

••• Cotton - Linen High temperature

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Set the steam regulator (5) to the “” position (Fig. 3) and unplug the iron from the wall socket.

Only use clean tap water, without any type of additive. Any other type of liquid could damage the appliance.

The water level should not exceed the "Max" line marked.

To obtain better and longer steam production mix tap water with distilled water in the measures shown in the table below:

Water hardness	Amount of distilled water per tap water
Very soft / soft 0
Average 0
Hard Approx 1:1
Very hard Approx 2:1

Your water supply company can provide you with the hardness levels for your area. Do not fill beyond the maximum water level.

IRONING WITHOUT STEAM

Set the steam regulator (5) to the “” position (Fig. 3) and slide the temperature control to the desired position. The Spray and Super steam functions may be used if required.

IRONING WITH STEAM

Unplug the iron from the mains supply. Turn the steam regulator (5) to the “×” position, open the lid on the filling spout and fill the tank with water. (Fig. 2)

Plug the iron into the mains supply and select a suitable temperature. The pilot lamp (9) will stay lit while the iron is heating up and go out as soon as it has reached the selected temperature.

As soon as the iron is hot turn the steam regulator (5) to the ⏻ position. You can always regulate the amount of the steam by turning the steam selector between (✗ and (). Fig. 4)

When ironing with steam, make sure that the temperature control is always between and Max settings.

When using the steam iron for the first time, try it away from the clothes just in case there is any dirt in the steam chamber.

When you have finished ironing, set the steam regulator (5) to the “※” position and empty the tank.

SPRAY (Fig. 5)

You can get an additional burst of spray, whether ironing dry or with steam, in the following way:

- Press the spray button (6). Do not use the spray for ironing silk as this may leave water marks.

IRONING WITH SUPERSTEAM (Fig. 6)

Just as with the Spray function you can also get an additional burst of steam when ironing with or without steam by doing the following:

• Set the temperature regulator (8) between the •• and Max settings and wait until the iron reaches temperature.
• Raise the iron slightly up off the material and press the super steam button (7) down firmly.
• Pause for at least 5 seconds between each jet of steam.

CREASE REMOVAL IN VERTICAL (Fig. 7)

• Set the temperature regulator (8) between the •• and Max settings and wait until the iron reaches temperature.
• Hang the garment on a hanger and place the iron some 10-20 cm away. Never iron a garment if somebody is wearing it at the time.
• Press the super steam push button (7) pausing for at least 5 seconds between each press.

FABRIC-PROTECTION BLANKET (Only for PV1517)

The fabric-protection is used for steam-ironing delicate garments at maximum temperature without damaging them.

Use of the protector also does away with the need for a cloth to prevent shine on dark materials.

It is advisable to first iron a small section on the inside of the garment to see if it is suitable.

SELF-CLEANING (Fig. 8)

CAUTION! Do this operation over a sink. To keep steam production constant occasional cleaning is recommended as limescale can build up inside the steam ducts and steam chamber.

To do this fill the water tank (2), temperature regulator (8) to the "MAX" position. Plug the appliance in and when the lamp (9) goes out press the "Funcion calc" button (10) down.

Keep the button held down until coming out through the steam holes.

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM (Only for PV1516 & PV1517)

This iron is equipped with an anti-drip safety system which automatically cuts off steam production whenever the selected temperature setting is too low.

ANTI-SCALE SYSTEM (Only for PV1516)

This iron is equipped with an anti-scale system which lowers the hardness of the water and extends the useful life of the iron.

EMPTYING OUT THE WATER TANK

Take the plug out of the mains socket, open the lid on the filling spout and empty out the tank by holding the iron pointed-end down and shaking it gently.

STORAGE (Fig. 9)

The iron can be stored away with the cable coiled up in the rear area. It is advisable to store the iron in the upright position with the water tank empty and the steam regulator set to “✗”

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Avoid scratching the iron; do not pass it over hard surfaces. Traces of starch or sprays can be removed from the base by using damp cotton wool or a non abrasive cleaning product.

Do not put chemicals or detergents into the water tank.

The outside surfaces can be cleaned down with a damp cloth, without ever having to use abrasive agents or solvents.
