About your appliance

The appliance uses normal tap water. If the water in your area is very hard,

Do not use chemicals or detergents such as fragrances or scale removers
in the water tank as this could cause damage.
The appliance should be placed for use on a flat, stable, heat resistant sur­face.

Steam ironing

Before filling the water tank, make sure the steam regulator is in the position

("dry" position) (fig. 1). Make sure the power cable is unplugged from

the mains socket.

"Easy Refill" (figs. 2 and 3)

The large fill hole enables the tank to be filled without spilling water.
The measure provided corresponds to the maximum water content of the
iron in the horizontal position (fig. 3).
To fill with water up to the Max level marked on the iron, place the iron in a
vertical position (fig. 4).
Once the iron has been filled, close the "Easy Refill" cap (fig. 5).

You can now proceed with ironing

• Plug the iron into the mains socket;

•A special section on the thermostat dial identifies the steam
range.The steam will be wet if the thermostat pointer is at the beginning
of the segment and dryer if it is towards the end. Make sure the fabric
to be ironed is suitable for steam ironing.When using the iron for the
first time, run the iron over a spare piece of cloth several times.

• After these checks, select the required temperature by rotating the
thermostat dial.

• The indicator light will come on to show the iron is on.When the indi­cator light goes off, the iron is at temperature and ready to use.

• Continuous steam delivery is obtained by turning the steam regulator to
one of the positions between 1 and 3 ( =dry, 1=minimum steam,
2=medium steam, 3=maximum steam) (fig. 6). Steam delivery ceases
whenever the iron is placed in a vertical position on the rear rest (posi­tion recommended during pauses in ironing) or with the iron horizontal
when the steam regulator is in the dry position ( ).

Remember that the steam function can only be used when
the thermostat is in the position.
