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. Whenusingthesteamforthersttime,rsttry it away from the clothes just in case there is any dirt lodged in the steam chamber.

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.

Set the steam regulator (5) to the “0” 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 Very hard Approx 2 Your water supply company can provide you withthehardnesslevelsforyourarea.Donotll beyond the maximum water level.

IRONING WITHOUT STEAM

Set the steam regulator (5) to the “0” position (Fig. 3) and slide the temperature control to the desired position. The Spray and Super steam functions may be used if required.

Unplug the iron from the mains supply. Turn the steam regulator (5) to the “0” position, open the lidonthellingspoutandllthetankwithwater. (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 the •• and Max settings. Whenusingthesteamironforthersttime,try it away from the clothes just in case there is any dirt in the steam chamber. When you have nished ironing, set the steam regulator (5) to the “0” 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 pressthesupersteambutton(7)downrmly. - 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. 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 ll the water tank (2), setting the temperature regulator (8) to the “MAX” position. Plug the appliance in and when the lamp (9) goes out press the “SelfClean” button (10) down. Keep the button held down until water stops coming out through the steam holes.

EMPTYING OUT THE WATER TANK

Take the plug out of the mains socket, open the lidonthellingspoutandemptyoutthetankby 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.
