IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your at iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use iron only for Its intended use.

2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.

3. The iron should always be turned to “Min” before plugging or unplugging from outlet.
Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.
Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when lling with water or emptying and
when not in use.

6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or dam­aged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron take it to a quali­ed serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.

7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do
not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.

8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.

9. If the malfunction indicator goes on, the atiron is not operating normally. Disconnect
from the power supply and have the atiron serviced by qualied service personnel.

10. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

11.When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.

12.The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage
or if it is leaking.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit.

2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord
so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
DO NOT let children or untrained persons use the appliance without supervision.
NEVER immerse the iron, cable or plug in any liquid.
DO NOT leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very inammable surfaces.
DO NOT leave the appliance unnecessarily plugged in. Disconnect the plug from the
mains when the appliance is not being used.
NEVER touch the appliance with wet or damp hands.
DO NOT use the power cord or the appliance in order to pull the plug out of the socket.
DO NOT leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc. ).
DO NOT leave the iron without supervision when it is connected to the power supply.
DO NOT ll the reservoir with water before removing the plug from the socket.

PLEASE NOTE!

Do not use chemical additive, scented substances or decalciers. Failure to comply with
the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

When using the iron for the rst time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and
hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops
after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before
using it for the rst time.

PREPARATIONS

Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment
label, or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.

GARMENT LABEL FABRIC TYPE THERMOSTAT REGULATION

• synthetic low temperature

•• silk - wool medium temperature

••• Cotton - linen high temperature

Fabric not to be ironed

Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down)
and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.

STEAM IRONING

Filling the reservoir

-Remove the plug from the stock

-Fill the water through the lling opening (4) into the water tank.

-If the water is very hard, it is advised to use distilled water or demineralized water
only. Do not use chemically descaled water.

-Pour out the remaining water after use.

Selecting the temperature.

- Put the iron in a vertical position.

- Put the plug in the socket.

- Adjust the thermostat knob (1) according to the international symbol on the garment
label -The plate temperature control light (2) indicates that the iron is heating up. Wait
until the plate temperature control light goes off before ironing.
Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature control light (2) comes on at intervals,
indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat tem­perature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate tempera­ture control light comes on again.

SURGE STEAM IRONING

The surge-of-steam feature provides powerful steam for removing stubborn wrinkles.

-Fill the iron with water as described in “Filling the reservoir”

-Plug iron into electrical outlet.

-As indicated on the temperature control knob (1), steam ironing is only possible at
higher temperature setting indicated with ‘MAX’ mark, otherwise the water may leak
from the soleplate.

-Turn the temperature control knob (1) to the position according to the fabric being
ironed as described in point 6 of ‘Setting the temperature’

-The indicator light will turn ‘OFF’ when the indicated setting reaches the correct tem­perature.

-Press the Steam jet button (3) to release the surge-of-steam. Pressing the button
several times may be necessary to prime the surge system.

-Wait a few seconds for the steam to penetrate the fabric before pressing the button
again for more steam.

-NOTE: For optimum steam quality, do not apply more than four successive ‘SHOT’
after the indicator light goes off.

To iron without SURGE STEAM IRONING, follow the instructions in section “SURGE
STEAM IRONING”
