Preparations (A)
1. Remove any label or protective covering from the
soleplate.
2. Place the appliance horizontally on a solid, stable
surface. You may remove the iron pad from the
appliance and place the iron on it on another solid,
stable, horizontal surface.
3. Remove the detachable water tank and fill it, making
sure not to pass the level mark.
4. Fit the water tank back onto the steam tank.
5. Unwind the mains cable fully and plug it into an earthed
socket.
6. Set the boiler button (4) and main power button (8)
switches to the “Start/I” position.
7. The “Steam ready” indicator lamp (3) will light up after
several minutes, indicating that the appliance is ready
to use.
The steam generator will take more time to reach
“Steam ready” state only upon the initial heating up,
or after performing the de-scaling operation (Calc’n
clean).
When water is already present in the steam generator
during regular use, heat up time to reach the operating
temperature will be faster.
8. This appliance has a built-in water level sensor. The
red “refill water tank” indicator (10) will light when the
water tank is empty.
Important:
• Normal tap water can be used.
To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is
very hard, mix tap water with distilled water 1:2.
You can inquire about the water hardness with your
local water supplier.
• The water tank can be filled at any time while using the
appliance.
• To avoid damage and/or contamination of the water
tank and the boiler, do not put perfume, vinegar,
starch, descaling agents, additives or any other type
of chemical product into the water tank.
Any damage caused by the use of the aforemen-
-
tioned products, will make the guarantee void.
• The iron is not designed to rest on its heal. Please
always position it horizontally on the iron pad (2).
• The iron pad can be placed into the specially designed
recess on the appliance or somewhere suitable along--
side the ironing area.
Never rest the iron on the appliance without the
iron pad!.
• During it first use the iron may produce certain vapours
and odours, along with white particles on the soleplate,
this is normal and it will stop after a few minutes
• While the steam release button is pressed, the water tank
may produce a pumping sound, this is normal, indicating
that water is being pumped to the steam tank.
Setting the temperature
1. Check the ironing instruction label on the garment to
determine the correct ironing temperature.
2. Select the temperature (15)
“•” Synthetics
“••” Silk – Wool
“•••” Cotton – Linen
3. The indicator lamp (16) will remain lit while the iron is
heating and go out as soon as the iron has reached
the selected temperature.
Tips:
• Sort your garments out based on their cleaning
symbol labels, always starting with clothes that have
to be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
• If you are not sure what the garment is made of then
begin ironing at a low temperature and decide on the
correct temperature by ironing a small section not
usually seen when worn
Controlling the pressure
Your steam station is equipped with a pressure gauge (6)
which shows the pressure it works at every moment.
Dial of the gauge is divided into three areas
1. White area shows low pressure (during first heating or
loss of pressure during the ironing. In this case, read
Trouble Shooting section)
2 Green area is the one in which the station works nor-
-
mally and pressure should be within it during ironing
3 Red area shows high pressure and during normal use
should not be reached. In case your steam station
reaches it frequently, it will have to be checked by a
technical service centre
Ironing with steam (B)
1. Make sure that there is enough water in the water
tank
2. Turn the temperature selector to the steam position,
between “••” and “max”.
