User manual

• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to operate
the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
•
Never use water containing additives (starch, scents, softeners, etc.), or water produced by condensation (e.g.
water from tumble-driers, refrigerators, air conditioners, rain water). The types of water contain organic waste
or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance.
Filling the water tank
• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to – fig.1.
• Take the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, with the point uppermost.
• Open the water tank lid – fig.2.
• Fill the tank up to the “MAX” line – fig.3.

Use
Adjust the temperature and the steam
• Set the thermostat control – fig.4, referring to the table below.
• The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough – fig.5.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Select ECO setting and save 20% energy compare with the maximum position.
• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low tempe-
ratures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,
• If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on be-
fore beginning to iron again,
• When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most de-
licate fibre. For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an incons-
picious place eg (inside the hem).
Spray Function (spray)
• Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button to dampen
laundry to remove stubborn creases – fig.6.
Obtain more steam
• Turn the thermostat to “MAX” or “•••”.
• Operate the Power zone trigger from time to time – fig.7.
• To avoid drips, leave an interval of a few seconds between operations.
Vertical steam ironing
• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one
hand. The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment
on a hanger – never iron clothes which someone is wearing.
Make sure that there is
water in the tank before
using this button.
Hold the iron a few centimetres from
the fabric to avoid burning delicate
fabrics.
Every five pulses return the iron to a
horizontal position.
