Self-cleaning To extend the life of your steam generator iron and limit the formation of limescale, you must undertake the self-cleaning of the device when the symbol appears. Please refer to the “Self-cleaning” paragraph in the “CLEANING” section at the end of the manual. Steam output selection When the indicator light stops ashing, press the steam output adjustment button to select the desired output:

• Sort the items to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will enable you to reduce the frequency of temperature settings for different garments. The iron heats up quickly and cools down more slowly. That’s why we advise you to start by ironing the most delicate fabrics.

• Test a small area on the back or inside of the garment if you are unsure of the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and gradually increase it.

• Apply lighter pressure to heat-sensitive fabrics and always keep the iron moving.

• To better iron delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, velvet, etc. and prevent gloss marks, use a damp cloth.

• Never iron zip fasteners, buttons or transfers; only iron around them.

• If the fabric is made of different bres, always select the temperature required by the most delicate bre, i.e. the lowest temperature. If, for example, the fabric is composed of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, it must be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester, i.e.: “

• The symbol on the washing label means that the garment should not be ironed. Never touch the iron sole plate when the iron is hot: risk of burns!

What water should I use for ironing? We recommend a half-and-half mixture of tap water and demineralised water. The proportion of demineralised water should be increased in hard water areas. Never use demineralised water on its own as it could seriously damage your appliance. Fill the tank with tap water via the ller hole by placing it under a tap. Warning! Do not overfi ll beyond the “MAX” level mark. Tank capacity: 1.8 litres. Next, put the tank back in place and make sure it is in the correct position.

ENfrequently asked questions Why does the iron smoke and produce a slight odour when it is used for the fi rst time? This is completely normal. Certain parts of the iron are lightly greased at the factory. It will stop very quickly. Why are dirt particles coming out of my new iron’s sole plate? This happens with new irons and is quite normal. These particles are not dangerous and will stop appearing after a few uses. Hold the iron over an old cloth and press the steam release button when you start using your machine to avoid staining your clothes. Why are dirt particles coming out of the iron when I’m ironing? Impurities and chemical particles found in water may have been deposited on the sole plate. Clean the sole plate. If necessary, carry out the self-cleaning of the generator. Drops of water fl ow from the sole plate. Why? The iron soleplate is not hot enough to produce steam. This is normal. Make sure the button is in the steam activation area. Hold the iron over an old cloth and press the steam release button. The cloth absorbs the drops of water. After several seconds, the steam emission returns to normal. Why does the sole plate get dirty? Impurities and chemicals present in the water or on your clothes may have been depos- ited on the sole plate. These residues can come, for example, from your detergent or fabric softener. Clean the sole plate with a damp cloth. Or, you may have set the temperature too high. Clean the sole plate with a damp cloth. Select the recommended ironing temperature. What should I do if water is leaking from the steam generator iron’s body? There may be a limescale build-up inside your product or abrasive products may have been inserted into the appliance. If so, this can cause abnormal leakage. First of all, perform the self-cleaning procedure. If this does not solve the problem, contact your store’s customer service department. Is it normal that the steam generator iron heats up when in use? Don't put your hands on areas that display the symbol! While other parts of the appliance may be slightly warm, they are not too hot to touch. If you feel the steam generator iron is excessively hot, unplug the appliance from the mains, let it cool down on a heat-resistant surface and contact your store’s customer service department. Self-cleaning To extend the life of your steam generator iron and limit the formation of limescale, you must undertake self-cleaning when the indicator light comes on. Note: This operation can be carried out more frequently, without waiting for the indicator light to come on. For example, if your water has a high limescale content or if you notice traces of limescale on the iron.
