Thank you for choosing this steam iron.To get the very best
out of your new appliance it is advisable to read these
instructions before using it.This will ensure that you gain optimum results and use the appliance safely.
About your appliance
The ironing system uses normal tap water. If the water in your area is very
hard, please mix half tap water with half distilled water.
Do not use chemicals or detergents such as fragrances or scale removers
in the tank as this could damage the tank.
The ironing system should be placed for use on a flat, stable, surface that is
heat resistant.
We suggest that as the ironing system takes several minutes to heat up, fill
it up and switch it on (following the instructions below), and then gather
your ironing while you wait for it to heat up.
During use, the iron can be rested in a "vertical" position (fig. 1). However,
make sure the surface is even and stable to avoid the iron falling over.
Setting up the appliance for ironing
Before carrying out this operation, always make sure the appliance is
cold and unplugged from the mains.
In models with removable iron rest, the position of the steam/cable tube can
be changed to adapt the appliance to all working positions:
• lift up the removable iron rest;
• rotate the tube clamps (fig. 2);
• remove the tube and locate it on the other side;
• rotate the clamps with a coin to block the tube in place;
If the steam cable tube clamps are not properly closed,the iron rest
will not rest on the steam generator correctly.
The removable iron rest can be placed on the ironing board:
never rest the iron on the appliance without the iron rest
in place.
Filling the water tank and connecting to the mains
Before steam ironing,make sure the fabric is suitable for this kind of ironing.The
machine works with normal tap water. In case of very hard water (hardness
above 27°F) we suggest using 50% distilled water diluted with tap water. Never
use chemical substances or detergents (eg perfumed water, essences, descaling
solutions, etc).
Make sure the power cable is unplugged from the mains socket. Unscrew the
steam generator cap and fill the tank with water using the funnel (if provided). In versions fitted with a cap lock device, the cap cannot be unscrewed
while the steam generator is still under pressure. Screw up the cap fully and
plug the iron into the mains socket.
Important: never unscrew the cap with the boiler under pressure.
