BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Before using the iron, please ensure you read the user manual and understand all parts and features of the iron. Be sure to remove any packaging material and labels before using for the first time.

During its first use the iron may produce certain vapours and odours that will die away after a few minutes.

Do not spray for the first time on clothes, as there might be traces of dirt on the soleplate.

HOW TO USE

Always check whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to an article to be ironed. Follow these instructions in all cases.

Turn the temperature control (7) round to set the appropriate temperature indicated in ironing instructions or in fabric label.

Marking	Type of textile
	Do not iron this article
● (1 dot)	Synthetics, Nylon, Acrylics, Polyester, Rayon
●● (2 dots)	Wool, Silk
●●● (3 dots) / max	Cotton, Linen

Insert the main plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (10) will turn on.

When the pilot light goes out you may start ironing.

If you set the temperature control to lower setting after ironing at a high temperature it is not recommended to iron before the pilot light switches on again.

WATER TANK FILLING

Unplug the iron from the mains before filling the water tank.

The iron has been designed to use normal tap water. If the tap water in your area is hard or semi-hard, mix tap water with distilled or demineralized water purchased in stores in the ratio 2:1 and 1:1 respectively (distilled water / tap water).

You can inquire about the water hardness with your local water supplier.

Never use 100% distilled or demineralized water, rain water, softened water, scented water, water from refrigerators and air conditioners, dryers or other types of home water preparation water.

• Open the water inlet lid (4).
• Slowly pour water through the water inlet.
• Never fill beyond the level mark for maximum filling (6), in order to avoid spilling out of water.
• Close the water inlet lid.

Important: The water tank should be emptied after each use.

SPRAYING

This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles.

As long as there is enough water in the water tank, you may use the spray button at any temperature setting during steam or dry ironing.

Press the spray button (1) several times to activate the pump while you are ironing.

Do not use the spray function with silk!

STEAM IRONING

- Set the temperature control (7) to the desired position in accordance with the manufacturer's label. The pilot light (10) will turn on until the temperature is reached. Then the pilot light will turn off.

- Set the variable steam regulator (3) to the desired position.

	Recommended position of the steam regulator (3)Temperature
MIN
MAX

CAUTION: Avoid coming in contact with ejected steam.

DRY IRONING

The steam iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the water tank.

- Turn the steam regulator (3) to the minimum position.

- Select the setting on the temperature control (7) best suited for the fabric to be ironed.

SHOT OF STEAM

The shot of steam feature provides additional steam for removing stubborn wrinkles.

- Set the temperature control (7) to "MAX".

- Press the shot of steam button (2) to release the burst of steam.

NOTE: To prevent water leakage from the soleplate, do not keep the steam button pressed for more than 5 seconds.

VERTICAL IRONING

This can be used to remove creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.

- Hang article of clothing on a clothes hanger.

- Set the temperature control (7) to "MAX".

- Operate the iron in a vertical position at a distance of 10 cm / 4 in, and press the shot of steam button (2) repeatedly with pauses of at least 5 seconds.

NOTE: To prevent water leakage from the soleplate, do not keep the steam button pressed for more than 5 seconds.

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM

With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.

Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point where no more steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the Anti-drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.

WHEN YOU FINISH IRONING

• Set the temperature control (7) to the minimum position.
• Remove the main plug from the wall socket.
• Empty the water tank.
• Stand the iron on heel rest.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning the steam iron ensure it is unplugged from the power supply and has completely cooled down.

Do not use abrasive cleaners.

To clean exterior surfaces, use a damp soft cloth and wipe dry. Do not use any chemical solvents, as these will damage the surface.

To clean the soleplate, do not use scouring pads or harsh cleaners on the soleplate as these will damage the surface.

To remove burnt residue, iron over a damp cloth while iron is still hot. To clean the soleplate, simply wipe with soft damp cloth and wipe dry.

SELF-CLEANING

It is recommended to do the self-cleaning at least every two weeks.

1. Fill the water tank.
2. Set the temperature control (7) to its maximum position.
3. Set the steam regulator (3) to the minimum position.
4. Insert the main plug into the wall socket.
5. Allow the iron to heat up until the indicator light (10) goes out.
6. Unplug the steam iron (very important!)

7. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink

8. Press the clean button (8) and shake the iron until approximately one third of the water capacity of the tank is evaporated. Warning: boiling water and steam will be ejected from the holes in soleplate with impurities washed out.

9. Release the clean button, and gently shake the iron for some seconds.

10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 three times until the tank is empty.

11. Then plug the iron in and heat it up again until the remaining water has evaporated.

12. Push the clean button a few times more to clean the valve.

13. Unplug the iron and let the soleplate cool down.

14. Move the iron over an old (preferably) piece of cloth. This ensures that the soleplate will be dry during storage.

Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM

A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale build-up in the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing.

Please note:

Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralized water makes the "Zero-Calc", anti-calc system ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
Soleplate (9) is not heating even through iron is turned on.	Connection problem	Check main power supply cable plug and outlet.
	Temperature control (7) is at “MIN” position	Turn to a higher position, if compatible with the fabric.

Shot of steam / vertical ironing function does not work	Iron is not hot enough.	Set a suitable temperature and wait until the pilot light (10) goes out.
	Selected temperature is lower than that specified to use with steam.	Set a higher temperature, if compatible with the fabric.
Water drips out of the soleplate (9) together with steam	Temperature control (7) set to a low position.	Turn to a higher position (between “••” and “MAX”), if compatible with the fabric.
	Steam regulator (3) is set too high in conjunction with a low temperature.	Set the steam regulator to a lower setting (see “Steam ironing” section).
	You have pressed the shot of steam button (2) repeatedly without waiting for 5 seconds between each press.	Wait 5 seconds between each press of the shot of steam button.
Deposits come out through the holes of the soleplate (9)	Traces of lime scale are coming out of the steam chamber.	Carry out a self-cleaning process.
