Before first use

Please read these instructions carefully. Remove any labels from the sole-plate before heating up the iron.

• Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen. Operate the Power zone trigger several times under the same conditions.
• There may be a release of smoke, a harmless odour and a light spray of particles when you use your appliance for the first time. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

Preparation

What water to use?

• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
• Never use water containing additives (starch, scents, softeners, etc.), or water produced by condensation (e.g. water from tumble-driers, refrigerators, air conditioners, rain water). The types of water contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance.

If your water is very hard, it is possible to mix tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions: - 50% tap water, - 50% distilled or demineralised water.

Filling the water tank

Fill the tank up to the "MAX". Never fill the appliance by holding it directly under the tap. Do not remove the anti-scale valve to fill the water tank.

• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to Fig.1.
  • Take the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, with the point uppermost.
• Open the water tank lid – fig.2.
• Fill the tank up to the "MAX" line – fig.3.
• Close the flap of the water tank.

Use

Adjust the temperature and the steam

• Set the thermostat control – fig.4, referring to the table below.
• The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough – fig.5.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Select setting and save 20% energy compare with the maximum position.
• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,
• If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on before beginning to iron again,
• When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre. For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).

WOOL	●●

= STEAM ZONE

In order to avoid water dripping from the iron onto the linen:

• Turn off the steam when ironing silk or synthetic fabrics.
• Set it at the minimum position for wool.

Spray Function (spray)

Make sure that there is water in the tank before using this button.

- Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button to dampen laundry to remove stubborn creases – fig.6.

Obtain more steam

• Turn the thermostat to "MAX" or "●●●".
• Operate the Power zone trigger from time to time – fig.7.
• To avoid drips, leave an interval of a few seconds between operations.

Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics. Every five pulses return the iron to a horizontal position.

• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never iron clothes which someone is wearing.
• Set the thermostat control to "MAX" – fig.8.
• Operate the Power zone 🎨 trigger by pulsing – fig.7 moving the iron from top to bottom – fig.9.

Dry ironing

• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
• Set the steam control to Fig.1.
• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

Extra Functions

Autoclean Catalys® Soleplate (depending on model)

• Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate which works by catalysis.
• Its exclusive coating helps eliminate all the impurities generated by normal use.
• It is recommended that you always stand your iron on his heel to preserve its self-cleaning coating.

Integral anti-scale system

Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system. This system will help to provide:

- a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,

- lasting performance from your appliance.

Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)

The auto-stop light will be lit during normal use!

• The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning light flashes if the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal position for more than 30 seconds – fig.10.
• To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.

Anti-drip function (depending on model)

- When the iron is no longer hot enough to produce steam, the water feed will stop automatically to avoid dripping.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)

• Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
• Adjust the steam setting to "Eco".
• To remove the anti-scale valve, open the water tank lid and press the release button – fig.11 and then pull the valve upwards – fig.12.
• Soak the valve in a cup of white spirit vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours – fig.14.
• Rinse the valve under running water.
• Replace the anti-scale valve; press until it clicks in to place – fig.15.
• fig.11 and then pull the valve upwards -
  Be careful! - Never touch the end of the valve – fig.13.
• The iron will not function without the anti-scale valve.

Self-cleaning

The self-cleaning function helps to slow down scaling in your iron. In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-Cleaning function once a month.

• Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on it's heel with the thermostat set to "Max" and heat it up.
• When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position, over a sink. Remove the anti-scale valve – fig.11-12 (see previous chapter).

- Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with the impurities) has flowed out through the soleplate – fig.16.

- At the end of the operation, replace the anti-scale valve; press it in until it clicks – fig.15.

- Plug the iron back in and leave it resting on its heel for two minutes to dry the soleplate.

- Clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic cloth while it is still warm.

Cleaning the soleplate

Your steam iron is fitted with a self-cleaning soleplate (depending on model):

Attention! The use of a scouring pad will cause damage to your soleplate's self-cleaning (depending on model) coating – fig.17.

• The exclusive active coating helps eliminate all the impurities generated by the normal day-to-day use of the iron.
• However, if you iron using an unsuitable programme, some traces may be left which require manual cleaning. In this case, it is recommended that you use a soft damp cloth on the warm soleplate, in order not to damage the surface.

Your steam iron is fitted with an Ultraglide soleplate (depending on model):

- Clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic cloth while it is still warm.

Storing your iron

• Unplug the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool down – fig.18.
• Empty the water tank and set the steam control to a little water may remain in the tank.
• Wind the cord around the heel at the back of the iron. Store the iron on its heel – fig.19.

Never use aggressive or abrasive products.

Environment protection first!

① Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.

Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.
