IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Read all instructions before using the iron When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Use iron only for its intended use.

• To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron or the base of the iron in water or other liquids.

• The iron should always be turned OFF before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.

• Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Contact our Consumer Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.

• Burns can occur from touching 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.

• This appliance is only for domestic and personal use.

• This appliance complies with the technical rules and standards for safety currently in force (Electromagnetic Compatibility, Low Voltage, Environment).

• This appliance is not designed to be used by children and people with a physical, sensory or mental impairment, or people without knowledge or experience, unless they are supervised or given prior instructions concerning the use of the appliance by someone responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Warning ! The voltage of your electrical outlet must correspond to that of the iron (120V). Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreversible damage to the iron and will invalidate the guarantee.

• If the electrical cord becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by an approved Service Center to avoid any danger.

• The appliance should not be used if it has fallen, if it has obvious damage, if it leaks or has functional irregularities. Never dismantle your appliance; have it inspected by an approved Service Center to avoid any danger.

• Always unplug your appliance before filling or rinsing the reservoir, before cleaning it and after each use.2

• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in or while the soleplate remains hot (approximately 60 minutes).

• Your appliance gives off steam, which may cause burns, especially when you are ironing on a corner of your ironing board. Never direct the steam toward people or animals.

• Your iron should be used and placed on a stable surface. When you put your iron onto its heel or the iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you put it is stable.

• Any inappropriate use or use contrary to these instructions releases the brand from all responsibility and renders the guarantee invalid. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.

• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCT IONS

Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.

DESCRIPTION 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 Before doing anything else, remove the sticker on the side fig.1 Warning! Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend that you operate the steam 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 be noticeable. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will cease quickly. Upon the first use, you may notice small particles coming out of the soleplate. This is parf of manufacturing process and is not harmful to you or your garments. It will disappear after several uses. You may accelerate this by using the self cleaning function (fig.13a - 13b) and shaking the iron gently. BEFORE USE

enerator built inside the iron. With unparalleled steam generation capacity reaching 210g/min and variable steam of up to 35g/min, Steamforce pushes up to 30% more steam* into the fibres of your fabric. This extra steam at the heart of the fabric is the secret of perfect ironing and long-lasting results. Throughout the ironing session, the LED screen displays the selected fabric type: as soon as the appropriate temperature is reached, the user is informed directly via the screen.

STEAMFORCE, CONCENTRATED INNOVATION…

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 tumble 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 boiling, or bottled mineral water. 1 • Filling the water tank

• Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron fig.2.

• Set the temperature control dial fig.3 on position (Min.)

• Open the filling inlet fig.4. Fill in water up to the Max. mark. fig.5. Close the filling inlet and return the iron to the horizontal position.

• You can plug in your iron fig.6. 2 • Setting the temperature Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam Electronic Control function, it automatically adjusts the steam amount and the temperature based on the selected fabric for optimum results. Select the fabric to be ironed by turning the thermostat and checking the fabric to be ironed on the display fig.7. For perfect results, an optimum position for each fabric has been pre-defined. You can also set your iron based on the international temperature measurements • •• •••. When your iron reaches the required temperature, the selected fabric in the LED screen stops flashing and is displayed constantly fig.7. You can start ironing. USE4 4 • Steam ironing (Autosteam & Steamforce) Set the iron on for steam ironing. Your iron is equipped with an integrated compact steam generator which pushes up to 30% more steam into the fabrics. The steam quantity and the temperature will adjust automatically to the selected fabric. 5 • Shot of steam (from temperature setting (••) upwards) Press the shot of steam button to generate a powerful jet of steam concentrated at the tip fig.8. This precision shot allows steam concentration in the front area to remove stubborn creases. Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again. IMPORTANT Leave an interval of a few seconds between each shot and wait until the flow of steam has finished before standing the iron on its heel. 6 • Vertical shot of steam (from temperature setting (••) upwards) Hold the iron vertically and press the shot of steam button to remove creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc. fig.9. Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again. TIP Hold the iron 4 to 8 inches away from the garment to avoid burning delicate fabrics. IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals! 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.
