and can cause serious burns. Always pick up the
iron by the handle and avoid contact with the
metallic parts and steam.

5. BEFORE USING YOUR IRON FOR
THE FIRST TIME
Remove all stickers or protective labels from
the base and the body.
Grasp the cable and pull out as much as
you need slowly. Make sure not to go
beyond the red mark. (See section 4)
Follow the instructions given in the "Selfcleaning
" section in point "11 – CLEANING",
in order to prepare your iron for use.
4. AUTOMATIC CABLE RETRACTOR
SYSTEM
This iron is equipped with a cable retractor to
store the power cable conveniently. Hold the
cable and slowly pull out the length that you
need for ironing.
Warning: The end of the cable is marked in red.
Do not pull the cable any further when the red
mark is visible.
When rolling up the cable, to avoid being hit by
the plug, hold it in your hand and press the cable
retractor button (11).
6. DRY IRONING
1. Place the iron on a stable and heat-resistant
surface.
2. Turn the temperature selector knob (2) to
MIN (Fig. B).
3. Slide the steam control knob (7) to the dry
iron position (Fig. C).
4. Place the iron in an upright position, resting it
on the support base (10).
5. Plug it in and turn the temperature selector to
the desired position. The pilot light (4) will
come on.
6. When the iron has reached the selected
temperature, the pilot light (4) will switch off.
This pilot light may turn on and off several
times while you are ironing, indicating the
cycles of the thermostat. Remember that if
you change from a higher to a lower
temperature, the pilot light (4) will remain off
until the temperature of the base (1) has
dropped to the selected level, at which point it
will come on again.
7. When you have finished, turn the
temperature selector to MIN and unplug the
iron. Leave to cool before cleaning the
exterior and storing.
When you are dry ironing, you can use the
spray option at any moment, providing there
is water in the deposit. (See sections entitled
"Spray" and "Filling the deposit").
Warning: For dry ironing, make sure that the
steam control knob is always on the dry
ironing setting. (Fig. C)
