EN

- The electrical safety of this appliance is only guaranteed when it is connected correctly to an effective earthing system as required by applicable electrical safety standards. This important safety requirement must be verified and, if in doubt, request a thorough check of the system by a qualified technician.

DO NOT immerse the iron, the power cord or the plug in any kind of liquid.

DO NOT leave the hot iron in contact with easily flammable fabric.

DO NOT leave the iron unattended when connected to the power supply.

DO NOT dispense steam when the iron is resting on its mat.

ATTENTION! Hot surface.

DO NOT use chemical additives, scented substances or descaling agents.

- This iron is not equipped with a pressure boiler and has been designed to be used for brief periods of time in order to prevent stress related to this chore. For this reason it is recommended not to iron for more than an hour.

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 reservoir 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.

- The appliance must be unplugged from the socket before filling the reservoir.

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.

FILLING THE RESERVOIR

Verify that the plug (13) is disconnected from the socket.

Set the steam selector (5) to 0 [Fig. B].

Open the latch (6).

Set the iron in a position that facilitates filling the water and prevents it from overflowing.

Slowly pour the water into the reservoir (11) using the special cup (14) [Fig. C].

Do not exceed the maximum (MAX) level indicated on the reservoir (9).

Close the hatch (6).

SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE

Set the iron upright.

Insert the plug (13) in the socket.

Set the temperature according to the type of fabric in line with the international symbols shown on the labels; using the adjustment knob (2) [Fig. D].

The plate temperature LED (1) indicates that the iron is warming up.

Wait for the plate temperature LED (1) to go off before starting to iron.

Consult the table below to select the cortemperature:

Label garments	Type material	Temperature control
	synthetics e.g. viscose, polyester	●
	silk, wool	● ●
	cotton, linen	● ● ●

ECO FUNCTION

The appliance is equipped with new technology that optimises steam production, thereby reducing energy consumption.

Set the steam selector (5) to ECO to activate the function.

IRONING WITHOUT STEAM (DRY)

Follow the instructions in the “steam ironing” section, leaving the steam selector (5) set to 0.

IRONING WITH STEAM

Select the amount of steam via the steam selector (5).

Move the steam selector (5) to any position between minimum and maximum according to the desired amount.

Continuous steam will only be dispensed when the iron is in a horizontal position.

This stops when the iron is set upright or the steam selector (5) is set to 0.

Steam can only be used at the highest temperatures, as indicated by the symbol on the temperature adjustment knob (2) [Fig. D].

If the selected temperature is too low, water droplets may drip from the plate.

Warning: the plate temperature LED (1) goes on intermittently while ironing, thereby indicating that the selected temperature is maintained.

SUPER-STEAM AND VERTICAL STEAM

Press the super-steam button (4) to generate a strong shot of steam that penetrates the fabric and eliminates the most difficult creases.

Wait a few seconds between each pressing action of the iron [Fig. E].

Press the super-steam button (4) intermittently to iron in an upright direction (curtains, hung clothes, etc.) [Fig. F].

Warning: the super-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the steam when the plate temperature LED (1) lights up and start ironing when this goes off.

SPRAY FUNCTION

Verify that there is water in the reservoir (11).

Press the spray button (3): slowly for dense spray or fast for mist [Fig. G].

Warnings: dampen delicate fabric using the spray function (3) or alternatively, lay a damp cloth between the fabric and the iron. Do not use the spray on silk or synthetics.

AFTER IRONING

EMPTYING PROCESS

Disconnect the plug (13) from the socket.

Open the latch (6)

Empty the reservoir (11) by turning the iron upside down and shaking it lightly.

Let the iron cool down completely.

Always set the iron upright.

MAINTENANCE

SELF CLEAN/CALC-CLEAN SYSTEM

The function allows the internal part of the plate to be cleaned from limescale residue or other impurities.

It is recommended to implement this function every 5 - 10 times it is used.

Fill the water reservoir (11) up to the maximum (MAX) level (9).

Set the steam selector (5) to 0.

Adjust the temperature knob (2) to maximum and wait for the plate temperature control LED (1) to go off.

Disconnect the plug (13) from the socket and immediately place the iron in a horizontal position over a wash basin.

Press the Calc-Clean (8) button until hot water, steam and any impurities or limescale come out of the plate.

Once the iron plate has cooled down (10), clean it with a damp cloth.

ATTENTION!

ure the plug of the appliance (13) 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.
