IMPORTANT GUIDELINES

The appliance is designed to work with tap water; however, if the water in your area is very hard, mix the tap water (50%) with distilled and/or demineralised water (50%). Salt concentration in water in certain seaside areas is very high: in such cases it is important to use “demineralised water for irons” available on the market. If in doubt, only demineralised water for steam irons must be used.

Do not use diluting agents, scented liquids or descaling agents as these substances can damage the product. Do not use water from dryers, air-conditioners and rain water.

The boiler may contain some water as each product is tested before being put on the market.

It is recommended to place a cloth between the iron and the fabric when using the iron for the first time.

It is recommended to direct a jet of steam into the air before starting to iron, for any residual condensation to be let out.

PREPARATION

Sort the laundry according to the international symbols shown on the label; if this is missing, sort according to the type of material.

Start to iron the garments that require a lower temperature so as to reduce idle time (the iron requires less time to warm up than to cool down) and eliminate the risk of burning the fabric.

synthetic, acrylic, nylon, polyester: low temperatures;

wool, silk: medium temperatures;

cotton, linen: high temperatures;

do not iron.

USE

FIRST USE

Bring the handle to a vertical position until it clicks [Fig. A]. When used for the first time, you may notice some smoke or noise due to the expansion of the plastic material. This is normal and will stop after a short while.

Warning: pass the iron on a cloth to eliminate any impurity in the steam device.

FILLING THE RESERVOIR

• Make sure that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
• Open the reservoir cover located on the handle (2).
• Fill the reservoir [Fig. B] with tap water and close the cover (2).

SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE

• Place the iron in a vertical position and insert the plug into the socket.
• Set the temperature selector (6) [Fig. C] according to the international symbols on the garment labels. Wait a few minutes before you start ironing.

Warning: if you set the selector to a lower temperature after having ironed at high temperature, wait a few minutes to give the plate the time to reduce the temperature.

DRY IRONING

Dry iron by not pressing the steam button (1).

Attention! For delicate fabrics, we recommend dampening them or placing a damp cloth between.

EN

STEAM IRONING

• Press the super-steam button (1) [Fig. D] to dispense steam.
• Wait a few seconds before pressing it again.

AFTER IRONING

EMPTYING PROCESS

• Disconnect the plug from the socket.
• Release the reservoir cover (2).
• Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and shaking it lightly.
• Let the iron cool down completely in an upright position.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

ATTENTION!

Make sure the plug of the appliance is disconnected from the socket and the plate has cooled down completely before cleaning the iron.

Any starch deposits or residue on the surface of the plate can be removed with a damp cloth and non-abrasive liquid detergent.

Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metal objects.

The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth and then wiped with a dry cloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter describes the most common problems that can arise using the appliance. If the problems cannot be solved with the information below, please contact the Authorised Assistance Centre.

Problem Possible cause Solution
The plate (7) remains cold or does not heat up.	There is no power supply.	Verify whether the plug is inserted correctly or try inserting it in another socket.
		Verify whether the temperature selector (6) is set to the minimum temperature ∅ (Fig. C).
Only a little steam or none at all is dispensed.	There is not enough water in the reservoir.	Fill the reservoir (see Chap. FILLING THE RESERVOIR).

EN

The impurities that come out from the steam holes stain the garments.	Chemical additives, scented liquids or descaling agents are being used.	These substances damage the product: do not add additives to the water in the reservoir.
	Pure distilled water or softened water is being used.	Mix tap water (50%) with distilled and/or demineralised (50%) water.
	Starch is being used.	Always spray the starch on the reverse side of the fabric.
Water leaks from the plate (7).	The plate temperature is too low due to the super-steam button (1) being pressed too often.	Allow slightly longer intervals between the jets of steam.
	The temperature selector (6) is set too low.	Turn the temperature selector (6) to Max (Fig. C).
