•  The Compact Vapor Generator has an automatic switch-off system. It is switched off automatically 
3 minutes after the last time it was used. This means that once the device is actuated, the CVG
ceases  to  heat  and  begins  to  cool  down. At  this time  a  whistle  will sound; the  ON  warning  light 
will remain on the blink, indicating that the appliance has been switched off. To switch
it back on, just move it slightly. A whistle will sound and the CVG will return to the temperature
and steam position that it had before being switched off.
• Remember  that  the  period  between  being  switched  off  and  switched  back  on  again  will affect  the  time 
that the CVG may need to regain the temperature selected previously.

• Since the working of this model is similar to an ironing centre and due to its strong flow of steam at Max, 
40 gr/min, we recommend you to iron with medium steam at temperature positions • and ••, and maximum
steam for temperature positions  •••  and  MAX. We  also  recommend you to iron first  with steam (the  level 
appropriate to the garment you are going to iron) and go over the clothes dry to remove the moisture
and obtain results comparable with professional pressing.
• Whenever the Compact Vapor Generator is  in the  vertical position, we recommend you to shut off steam
issue by pressing the steam switch activated once. Fig. 1 (8 or 9).
• To  iron  without  steam,  simply  do  NOT  press  the  steam  switches  Fig  1  (8-9)  It  is  NOT  necessary  to  drain
the water tank.
