WARNINGS
Read the following instructions carefully.
• Before using the appliance, check that the mains supply
voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the
rating plate.
Only connect the appliance to a power supply and
sockets with a minimum current rating of 10 A and provided with an earth connection.
• If the socket and power cable plug are incompatible, the
socket should be changed by qualified personnel only.
• The safety of this appliance is guaranteed only if correctly connected to a proper and effective earth connection
as specified by current electrical safety standards and
regulations. The manufacturer cannot be considered
responsible for damage caused by the absence of an
earth connection on the power supply line. If in doubt,
consult an expert.
• Do not leave the iron unattended when plugged in.
• Never leave the appliance filled with water in a room
where it will be subject to a temperature below or equal
to 0°C.
• After removing the packing, make sure the appliance is
not damaged. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and
contact professional personnel.
• Do not leave packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene foam,
etc) within reach of children as they could be dangerous.
• Adapters, multiple sockets and/or extensions should not
be used. If their use is necessary, only adapters, multiple
sockets and extensions complying with current safety
standards and regulations should be used, taking care
not to exceed the power limit indicated on the adapter.
• This appliance is intended for household use only. Any
other use is considered improper and thus dangerous.
• Noises could occur when the steam generator is heating
up or cooling down. This is due to normal expansion of
the stainless steel it is made from.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by
inappropriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for
damage resulting from repairs carried out by unqualified
personnel.
• If the cap or hydraulic and electric safety system are
damaged, have the components replaced with original
spare parts by qualified personnel.
•To repair or if the power cable is damaged and requires
replacement, contact an authorised Customer Service
Centre in order to avoid compromising the efficiency of
your appliance and guarantee the validity of the guarantee. For the same reasons, you are always recommended
to use original spare parts.
• Do not open the cap while using the appliance or before
all the water has been exhausted. This occurs when
steam is no longer discharged by the iron. To add water,
unplug and wait about 15 minutes to avoid sudden temperature changes. Place a cloth over the cap and
unscrew slowly to allow residual steam to escape slowly.
• Use the iron rest provided ONLY. If it is damaged, use
only an original replacement.
The use of all electrical appliances implies the observance of
some fundamental rules.

generator ON/OFF
switch
(17) "Check control"
indicator light
(14) Water level
indicator lights
(9) "Iron on" indicator light
Indicates that the iron ON/OFF switch has been pressed.
(10) Iron ON/OFF switch
The ON/OFF switch turns the iron on and brings it to
the temperature set with the thermostat knob (3). It
must be turned on for both steam ironing (together
with the steam generator ON/OFF switch) and dry
ironing.
(11) Steam generator ON/OFF switch
The steam generator ON/OFF switch turns the steam
generator on for steam ironing.
(12) Steam generator on indicator light
Indicates that the steam generator ON/OFF switch
has been pressed for steam ironing.
(13) "Steam ready" indicator light
This indicator light comes on when the steam generator ON/OFF switch is turned on and goes off when
the iron reaches the steam ironing temperature. The
indicator light goes on and off during ironing.
(14) Steam generator water level indicator lights
These indicator lights measure the progressive consumption of water in the steam generator. As the
water level drops, the indicator lights go out. When all
the indicator lights are on, the water is at maximum
level (the steam generator is full), when just one indicator light remains on, the water is at minimum level
(about to run out).
To ensure correct operation of the water level indicator
lights,
the start button must be pressed only after the
steam generator has been completely filled.
(15) "No water" indicator light
The "no water" indicator light flashes when the steam
generator is empty and requires topping up.
(16) "Start" button
The start button tells the appliance that the steam generator has been filled.
Press (and hold down until all the water level indicator
lights come on) only after the steam generator has been
completely filled.
Whenever the "START" button is pressed when the
steam generator is not completely full, all the water indicator lights come on, leading to an erroneous indication of the level of water in the appliance.
(17) "Check control" indicator
The electronic system controls operation of the appliance
each time it is turned on (the indicator light flashes three
times then goes off). If this light remains on, it indicates
that, although still in perfect working order, the iron should
undergo a general check at an authorised service centre
(see annexed list).
When the indicator light comes on, you can continue to
use the iron normally, but should have it checked as
soon as possible to keep it in perfect working order.
NB: have the iron checked by an authorised service centre only.
(18) Steam regulation knob
The steam regulation knob enables the quantity of
steam to be increased or decreased.
