After few uses, the smoke will disappear. When using the product for the first time, repeatedly use the steam (away from clothes) and try to use the iron on a worthless piece of cloth to remove any manufacturing residues that may stain or scratch the fabric. Thoroughly dry the clothes before iron them, do not iron over buttons and zippers. When not using the ironing system or during breaks, always store the iron on the appropriate insulated rubber placed on tank and make sure it is stable. Do not leave product unattended when the plate is hot. Keep the cord free from knots and tangles. Do not wrap the power cord around the iron, either before or after use, or place it closer to the iron plate when it is hot. Do not pull the cord to unplug the unit. When inside the boiler there is a pressure such as to produce steam, do not screw the cap off. Only when the pressure decreases, the cap can be opened. CAUTION: if you wish to open the tank, wait few minutes and then unscrew the cap slowly to slowly release the remaining steam from the tank until exhausting Do not use the ironing system as a heating unit. Unplug the appliance before you fill or empty the tank. We recommend the use of distilled water to avoid excessive fouling (not covered by warranty). Do not fill the tank above the maximum capacity and do not introduce into the tank mixtures for removing stain, vinegar, descaling agents or chemicals in general. Always select the most suitable temperature according to the fabric to be ironed.13 Use the appropriate refill cup to fill the tank of the boiler; do not fill it directly under the tap or with very cold liquids. After ironing, drain all the water pushing the appropriate release button, empty the tank and wait for the cooling of all parts before storing the system. CAUTION: the iron plate gets very hot during use, be careful not to touch it, serious risk of burns. Do not put face near the steam coming out the iron plate. For correct boiler closing, press the cap while rotating.

Unscrew the cap (9) and fill the tank using the appropriate dispenser without reaching the maximum capacity of 700cc. On first use, or after the iron has been unused for a long time, it is recommended to expel the steam by pushing the button (12 and 13) for about 20 seconds. This procedure allows to eliminate any working or limestone leftovers. For correct boiler closing, press cap while rotating it.

OPERATING THE IRONING SYSTEM

- Power on the unit by placing the knob (5) to position "1". The button will light up to indicate that the boiler is heating up. CAUTION: when the tank control light (3) goes off, it means that the boiler is ready to produce steam. During normal operation, the light lights on intermittently. - Turn on the iron by switching the knob (2) to position "1". Adjust the temperature using the control knob (11) according to the fabric to be ironed (see table at page 14). The ironing temperature control light (14), placed on the iron, will light to show when the iron is heating up. CAUTION: when this light goes off, it means that iron has reached the desired temperature. During normal operation, light is intermittent. - Adjust the quantity of steam using the knob (4). For using the steam, either horizontally or vertically, press the button (13). Use the button (12) to supply continuous steam. CAUTION: when using the steam, wait for the complete heating of both the iron and the boiler. In the beginning, few drops will come out together with the steam. This is normal and it is due to the heating of the cable connecting the boiler and iron. CAUTION: do not completely fill the tank of the boiler (max 700cc), since this operation prevents the formation of the steam, causing the loss of water from the iron.

Use of demineralized water is recommended to avoid excessive fouling (not covered by warranty). The14 capacity of the tank is 700cc. It is compulsory filling up the tank when it comes out of water or when the indicator light (3) turns off during use. Follow the steps below for filling the tank:

1) Stop the heating boiler by switching the control knob (5) to position "0".

2) Let the steam comes out from the boiler by pressing the button (13).

To avoid any risk of injury, always eject the steam before opening the cap of the boiler.

3) Remove the plug from the main power outlet and wait until the pressure goes down.

4) Slowly unscrew the boiler cap (9) to release remaining steam and lower the pressure. The air coming out

is very hot, be careful and unscrew the cap of the boiler very slowly.

5) Fill in the tank using the cup and the funnel without exceeding the maximum capacity.

CAUTION: do not completely fill the tank of the boiler (max 700cc), since this operation prevents the formation of steam causing the loss of water from the iron. TEMPERATURE SETTING The following table provides a guideline on how to adjust the thermostat according to the international symbols printed on the clothing labels or according to the type of fabric.

• It is recommended ironing clothes that require low temperatures first and then medium and high temperatures. This operation allows to save time since the ironing plate heats faster than it cools down. In the case of blend fabric(Ex: Acrylic and cotton), it is recommended to select the temperature according to the fabric that requires the lowest.

• When you do not know the composition, it is recommended to iron a non-visible part of the it, starting from the lowest temperature to find the most suitable temperature. LABEL FABRIC TEMPERATURE

Synthetic (Acrylic, nylon…)

• Sometimes the clothing becomes shiny, in this case you need to iron it on the inside not to ruin it. When ironing at maximum temperature (MAX), it is recommended to place a cloth between the ironing plate and the fabric. Setting the temperature

1) Place the iron on the insulated rubber housing above the boiler.

2) Plug the system to the electrical outlet, and switch the power button (6) to "1" position.

3) Select the temperature regulator (11) according to the symbols shown on page 7. The chosen symbol

has to be aligned with the mark placed on the body of the iron. The iron plate temperature control light, placed on the side of the iron, shows that the iron plate is warming up. Wait until the light turns off to start ironing. Caution: While ironing, the control light lights up periodically indicating that the temperature is constant. If you lower the thermostat, do not start ironing until iron temperature control light turns off. STEAM IRONING Before using the steam, check the water level first. The steam that the boiler supplies to the iron can be adjusted with the steam control (4). Place the steam control between minimum and maximum depending on the quantity of steam and the temperature selected.15 At this point you can use the jet steam or the continuous flow of steam by pushing the proper button (13). It's possible to use the vertical jet of steam; pressing the steam button (13) periodically allows to freshen up curtains, hanging clothes, etc ... Caution: to avoid the dripping of water, it is recommended to only use steam at high temperatures. DRY IRONING For dry ironing, switch to "0" the steam flow control knob (4). In this way the steam feature is disabled. CLEANING - Before cleaning any part of the product, ensure that the unit is unplugged from the electrical outlet, the ironing plate is not hot and that the boiler is turned off.
