6. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time. Suggestions before using the iron for the first time.

1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased therefore the iron could give off a little smoke when plugged in for the first time. This will cease after a short while.
2. Before using the iron for the first time, remove the plastic protector from the base (if it has one) clean the base with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the base very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (such as against the ironing board, buttons, zips, etc.)
4. Pure wool fibres (100% wool) can be ironed with the appliance in the steam position by preference, select a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth.

Selecting the temperature

1. Check the ironing instructions on the garment to be ironed.
2. If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you know the kind of fabric in question, use the chart below.
3. Fabrics that have some kind of finish (polishing, wrinkles, contrasts...) can be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
4. If the fabric contains several kinds of fibres, always select the temperature applicable, if an article contains 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you must always choose the temperature corresponding to polyester and without steam.

5. First classify the articles to be ironed according to the most suitable ironing temperature: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc. as the iron heats up as fast as it cools, start by ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Progress towards those that require the highest temperatures.

6. Turn the temperature control until it is in front of the appropriate signal according to the following:

• position for nylon and acetate
• position for wool, silk or mixures
••• position for cotton or linen (steam).

How to fill the water tank

1. Unplug the iron.
2. Set the steam ruler to dry ironing.
3. Fill the tank through the filling hole.
4. Use tap water. If you have hard water, it is advisable to use only distilled or demineralized water.
5. Do not use chemically de-limed water or perfumed
6. Do not store the iron with water in the tank.

Steam ironing

1. Fill the iron as described in the section "how to fill the water tank".
2. Plug the iron into the mains.
3. Steam ironing is only possible when the highest temperatures shown on the temperature control are selected. Otherwise, water may escape through the soleplate.
4. Wait until the pilot light goes out, which indicates that the selected temperature has been reached.
5. Turn the steam button to the required position.
6. When the ironing is finished and during breaks in ironing, place the iron in its upright position.
7. Disconnect the iron from the mains supply. Pour of any remaining water and leave the iron to cool off.

Spray

1. The spray can be used in any position, either in dry or steam ironing, as long as the water tank is filled with water.
2. Press the spray button for this function
   NOTE: This button has to be pressed repetitively to start this function for the first time.

Shot of steam

Shot of steam give extra steam for removing persistent wrinkles.

1. Place the temperature selector at the "max" position and wait until the pilot light goes out

2. Wait for a few seconds for the steam to penetrate the fibre before pressing again.

NOTE: For the best steam quality, do not use more than three successive bursts each time. Several pumping actions are needed to start this function. Excessive use of this feature will cause the iron to cool, ensure that the pilot light is out, before operating the shot of steam control

Auto power off / Hand Sensor

The hand sensor is not effective until the iron reaches its set temperature for the first time. After this, the hand sensor is active. If the user leaves the handle for more than 10 seconds, the iron will enter the power off state. When the user grabs the iron handle again, the iron comes to power on state, restores the heating to the set temperature and the water pump returns to the working state as well.

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

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.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Self-clean function

We should clean the unit regularly according to hardness of water and using frequency.

1. Fill water into the water tank and set the temperature selector to Max position

2. Connect into power supply and indicator light will be illuminated, make sure Steam button is in the Dry position, then place iron as fig below:

Warning: never pour white vinegar or other liquid cleaners for eliminating calcium into water tank!

1. Once the light is off, hold the iron over the sink and turn steam button to SELF CLEAN position with a little force. Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate while impurities and flakes will be flushed out.

2. Release the button as soon as water in the water tank has been used up

Cleaning

1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains, before cleaning.
2. Do not use solvents or abrasive products to clean the iron, clean with a damp cloth.
