CAUTION BEFORE FIRST USE
• Please read all of the instructions for use and the “Important
Safeguards” carefully.
• The iron has been greased, and as a result, the iron may slightly
smoke when switched on for the first time. After a short while, this
will cease.
• Before using for the first time, remove all packaging from the
appliance.
• Before the first use, we recommend cleaning the iron as follows: fill
the water tank and plug the appliance into an outlet. Press the
boiler power switch and the iron power switch. Put the
temperature dial on the “LINEN” position and the steam regulator
on MAX. Let the iron heat for 10 minutes. When the iron is hot, lift it
from its base, hold it vertically, and keep the steam button pressed
for 30 seconds, then wait 30 seconds and repeat this cycle twice.
Switch the appliance OFF (set the boiler power switch and the iron
power switch in the off-position), unplug it, and let it cool. You can
then clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
HINTS
• Before using the appliance for the first time, hold the iron away
from your clothes and press the steam control trigger several times
consecutively. This will remove any cold water from the steam
connection cord. This should also be done if you have not used
the steam function for a few minutes while the appliance is in use.
• For best results, use a mesh-type ironing board to allow excess
steam to escape.
IRONING: PRECAUTION FOR USE AND
TEMPERATURES
• Before ironing, always be sure to check the ironing instructions on
all fabric labels. Follow these ironing instructions.
• If ironing instructions are missing, you may reference the following
table for recommended ironing temperatures by fabric type:

• The table is valid for fiber materials only. If a finish has been
applied (gloss, wrinkle relief etc.), the textile can best be ironed at
a lower temperature.
• You should sort fabrics according to ironing temperature: wool
with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
• The iron heats up more rapidly than it cools down. Therefore, we
recommend that you start ironing articles requiring lower
temperatures first (such as those made of synthetic fibers), then
progress to those requiring higher temperatures.
• If an article is made of a mixture of different fibers, you should
always select the lowest ironing temperature of the composition
of those fibers. For example an item consisting of “60% polyester
and 40% cotton” should be ironed at the temperature indicated
for polyester and without steam.
• If you will be ironing delicate fabrics or if you do not know what
kind(s) of fabric(s) the article is made of, test the ironing
temperature on a small, inconspicuous part of the fabric. Always
start at a low temperature and increase as needed.
• Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set
to a steam position. It is recommended that you set the selector
switch to the “Cotton” position, apply shot-of-steam, and use a
dry pressing cloth.
• When steam-ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabrics may
occur. This can be prevented by turning the articles inside out and
ironing the inside or by placing a thin, damp cloth between the
fabric and the iron.

• Velvet and other textures that rapidly acquire shiny spots should
be ironed in one direction only (with the nap), applying only light
pressure. Always keep the iron moving on these fabrics.
• Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk. It is not
advisable to use steam as this may cause stains.
• When you have been ironing fabrics at a high setting, do not
switch to ironing articles that require a lower temperature
immediately afterwards. Adjust the selector switch to a lower
setting and wait until the iron has cooled to the desired
temperature.
DRY PRESSING (WITHOUT STEAM)
• Plug the appliance into an outlet. Turn the variable steam dial
(10) to position .
• Press on the iron switch (9).
• Set the temperature dial for the desired fabric. Always check the
label of the garment before choosing the temperature setting.
• Leave the iron on its rest and wait until the temperature indicator
light goes out before starting to iron.
• Leave the steam generation switch (11) in the OFF position.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
• Put the base on a stable, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface.
• Open the cap of the water tank and fill the water tank with clear
water up to its "MAX" level. Do not fill beyond this maximum level!
You can use tap water, but we advise you to use distilled water for
the best long-term performance.
• Close the lid of the water tank.
• Never add vinegar, detergents, or other chemical products to the
water as this could damage the appliance. See the “Cleaning”
section of this guide for more details.

FILLING THE WATER TANK DURING USE
When the water tank (1) is empty, the water refill indicator (8) will light
up. Since the water tank is not pressurized, you can refill it during use.
To do so, proceed as described above in the "Filling with water"
section. You can resume ironing immediately.
STEAM IRONING
Before plugging the unit into an outlet, always check that the steam
control trigger (4) is not in locked position.
• Fill the water tank as described in the section above with water
and insert the power plug into a wall socket.
• As indicated on the temperature dial and in the table on page 6,
steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures. Set
the dial to or .
• Place the iron on the iron rest.
• Turn and adjust the temperature control dial until you reach the
steam symbol.
• Completely unwind the cord and plug into an outlet.
• If you intend to iron with steam, press both switches (9) and (11).
• The steam indicator light (12) will be off until the required
temperature is reached. Wait for the light (12) to go on before
steam ironing.
• The iron’s temperature indicator light (6) will turn on. It will go off as
soon as the desired temperature is reached. During ironing, this
temperature indicator light will come on from time to time. When
this happens, the soleplate is being re-heated to the required
temperature. You can continue ironing while this happens.
• Press the steam button (4) to release a burst of steam from the
soleplate of the iron. Release the button and the steam will stop. If
you want a continuous jet of steam, you can hold the steam
button down or slide its purple top part backwards so that the
steam button locks. To stop the continuous jet of steam, push the
purple part of the button forward again and release the steam
button.
• You can adjust the steam control knob (10) to regulate the
amount of steam generated by the base. Note: the maximum

steam rate (“MAX”) can only be used when the ironing
temperature is set on the highest position () or else water
may drip from the soleplate.
• While ironing, the iron’s pilot light (6) will go on and off from time to
time. This means that the temperature of the iron is being
regulated by the thermostat. You may continue ironing as it
adjusts itself.
• When you use a lot of steam in a very short time, the steam output
is slightly reduced until your appliance produces enough steam to
maximize output. This phenomenon also happens when there is
not enough water in the water tank.
• When the water tank is running empty, you will hear more noise
when pressing the steam button. When the water tank is empty,
the refill indicator (8) will light up. If you want to continue using the
steam function, you must refill the water tank. The water refill
indicator will go out once the water tank has been filled.
Note: when you start using the steam function, it is normal for the
electrical pump to make vibrating sounds. This is due to the air inside
the anti-lime scale cartridge and will lessen when the air has been
pumped out. If the noise has not lessened after 60 seconds, check to
see if the cartridge has been assembled correctly.
VERTICAL IRONING
The “burst of steam” button also allows you to iron delicate articles of
clothing vertically. To use the "vertical burst of steam" feature, first
hang your article of clothing on a hanger. Keep the steam button (4)
pressed or locked with the sliding trigger lock and move the iron
back and forth in front of the article of clothing. Make sure that the
soleplate does not come into contact with the fabric! The amount of
steam required and the distance between the soleplate and the
article of clothing depends of the kind of fabric and the depth of the
wrinkles.
WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED IRONING
• Turn the temperature dial on the iron to "MIN", switch the iron (11)
and the steam generator (9) off, and unplug the iron from the
electrical outlet.

• Leave the iron on the iron rest. The non-slip iron rest is specially
designed for this and will not damage the soleplate.
• Wait for the appliance to cool before storing it away.
ANTI-LIMESCALE FEATURE
There is a replaceable decalcification cartridge inside the unit’s
water tank that absorbs unsolvable calcium ions. It also emits
solvable sodium ions that soften water, which greatly slows the
process of mineral deposits.
• Your appliance features an anti-scale cartridge that is located in
the water tank.
• You must replace the cartridge every six months or after every
120 hours of ironing, whichever comes first. This period can vary
according to the iron’s frequency of use and in your local area’s
water scale rate. If the water is hard, you will have to change the
cartridge more frequently.
• You can delay the replacement of the cartridge by using distilled
water or a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water.
• To take it out, open the water tank and lift the cartridge out of
the water tank. When you put a new anti-scale cartridge in the
water tank, immerse it in water for some time before using the
appliance to obtain a better performance.
• To obtain a new cartridge, contact Kalorik’s after-sales service.
• NEVER USE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT ITS CARTRIDGE.
CARE AND CLEANING
• Clean the iron regularly according to water hardness and
frequency of use.
• Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down.
• To clean the plastic parts of the iron, use a damp cloth.
• To clean the soleplate, use a damp cloth or a product made
specifically for this purpose. Never use abrasive products.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
