Before using the iron for the first time
Please carry out the following steps:
1. Remove the protective cover from the soleplate before using the
iron.
2. While the iron is unplugged, fill the water tank (E) with tap water
3. Plug the appliance into the mains and set the temperature control
(H) to the “max” position by lining it up with the pointer (G) on the
iron.
4. When the iron has reached the correct temperature, the pilot light (J)
goes out. Set the steam regulator (C) to the maximum position.
5. Hold the iron horizontally and repeatedly press the shot of steam
button (A). Any residue should come out of the soleplate (F). It may
smoke and smell – this is normal and will cease after a short while.
6. If necessary, carefully clean the soleplate down with a dry, folded
cloth
Cleaning and Maintenance
Attention ! Risk of burns !
For general cleaning, follow the information below:
Problem Solution
Dirty/lightly marked
iron body or soleplate
Clean the body of iron or soleplate with a
damp cloth then dry it.
Mark develops on
soleplate during use
Set the iron to its maximum temperature
setting. Rub the iron a few times over with
a dry cotton cloth folded several times.
Heavily stained
soleplate
While the iron is cold, iron a linen cloth
soaked in white vinegar. Then dampen a
cloth with water and wipe the soleplate
clean and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT de-scale or clean the water tank with cleaning products
or solvents, as these could cause the iron to drip when using the
steam function.
DO NOT use a “professional steam cleaner” for cleaning the
appliance.
DO NOT use sharp objects or abrasive products to clean the soleplate or
any other part of the appliance. To keep the soleplate in good condition,
do not allow it to come into contact with metal objects.
GUARANTEE TERMS
The terms of the guarantee for this appliance are in accordance with
that stated by our representative for the country in which it is sold.
Details of those conditions can be obtained from the retailer from
whom the appliance was purchased. The SALES RECEIPT must
be presented when making any claims against the terms of this
guarantee. We reserve the right to make technical modifications.
Environmental Care
This iron has been designed according to ecological criteria,
related to the sustainable development, analyzing its whole
lifecycle - from material selection to its later reusing or recycling
- evaluating the improvement possibilities, from a technical,
economical and environmental point of view.
Before throwing a used appliance away, you should make it
noticeably inoperable e.g. cut off the mains lead and be certain to
dispose of it in accordance with current laws and regulations.
Your retailer, town council or local council can give you detailed
information about these.
This appliance is labelled in accor dance with
Europ ea n Dir ec tive 20 02/ 96 /E G con ce rni ng
used electrical and electronic appliances (waste
electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE).
The guideline determines the framework for the return
and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout
the EU.
Tips to help you save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help
minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing
temperature.
• Regulate the steam accord ing to the selected ironing
temperature.
• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray
function instead.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce
the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the
fabrics rather than the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics
before ironing them, set the tumble drier to the ‘iron dry’
programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator
completely.
• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally
with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.
Important

soleplate when it is hot.
• In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions,
phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations
can happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a
power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0.27Ω . If
necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company
for the system impedance at the interface point.
