This will enable you to continue ironing after a short interruption. t When the “no water” light comes on, you should not continue steam ironing with the pump vibrating. If this practice is continued, in the long run it could irreparably damage internal components.

What water to use The appliance works with normal tap water. Important! In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water. Never use demineralised water on its own. NEVER rest the iron on the case of the appliance when the iron rest is removed. Never use chemical substances or detergents (e.g. perfumed water, essences, descaling solution, etc). Use the removable iron rest on an ironing board. Do not use mineral or other types of water (such as rainwater or water for batteries or air conditioners etc.). NEVER use the iron rest on a table. The heat could ruin the surface of the table!

Important! If you use filtering devices, make sure the water obtained has a neutral pH. “Safe transport”: certain models are fitted with a locking system which locks the iron in position during transport. When the iron is locked in position, it must not be used as a carrying handle to transport the appliance! To position the iron correctly, insert the tip of the plate into the housing B, rest the iron in position and move the lock J to the locking position. To release the iron, move the lock J into the release position and remove the iron from its housing. While ironing, if the iron rest has not been removed from the appliance, you can rest the tip of the iron on the heat resistant base C above the housing B. The appliance must be used and rested on a stable heat resistant surface. 8IFOQMBDJOHUIFJSPOPOUIFJSPOSFTU NBLFTVSFUIFBQpliance is resting on a stable surface.

When filling the steam generator for the first time, it will take longer to heat up as the air must be eliminated from the steam generator and replaced by the water.

Rinsing the steam generator - Disposal en ironing board. This will eliminate condensation from the steam circuit. Disposal In compliance with European directive 2002/96/EC, the appliance must not be disposed of with household waste, but taken to an authorised waste separation and recycling centre. Rinsing the steam generator After every 10 ironing sessions, proceed as described on page 6. The appliance does not come on. The appliance is not plugged into a mains socket. Make sure the appliance is correctly connected and press the iron and steam generator buttons. Steam comes out of the bottom of the appliance The maximum pressure safety system has tripped. Turn the appliance off immediately and contact an authorised De’Longhi Customer Services. Water leaks out from the holes in the bottom of the sole plate. The thermostat dial on the iron is not in the sector shown in fig. 7. Position the thermostat dial on the iron in the steam sector shown in fig. 7. Water has condensed inside the tubes because steam is being used for the first time, or has not been used for some time. Press the steam button several times away from the ironing board. This will eliminate cold water from the steam circuit. The ironing system is positioned on an unstable and/or sloping surface. Rest the ironing system on a stable flat surface. Brown coloured fluid leaks from the sole plate. Chemical water softeners or additives have been poured into the water tank or steam generator. Never pour products into the water tank (see our tips in the quick guide). Clean the sole plate with a damp cloth. The first time the appliance is turned on, you notice smoke Some parts have been treated with sealer/lubricant which evaporates the first time the iron heats up. This is normal and will stop when you have used the iron a few times. The appliance emits an intermittent noise associated with vibrations. Water is being pumped into the steam generator. This is completely normal. The appliance emits a continuous noise associated with vibrations. Unplug the system from the mains and contact an authorised De’Longhi Customer Services.
