Instructions for use
. How to use your appliance
- Make sure the steam adjustment control (C) is
in position .
- Plug in the iron.
- Set temperature using the temperature
adjustment control (J). The temperature
indicator light (I) will come on. It will go out
once the soleplate has reached the
temperature selected.
On first use, a small amount of smoke may be
given off.This is temporary and does not mean
there is anything wrong with your iron.
. F
ILLING THE TANK
- Always unplug your iron before filling the tank.
- Make sure the steam adjustment control (C) is
set to position .
- Open the lid (D) situated on the front of the
iron and fill the tank via the opening.
- Never exceed the maximum level (L).
. Steam ironing
Depending on the model, the rate of steam flow
from your iron is either fixed or variable.
- If the flow of steam from your iron is fixed,
select the setting on the steam adjustment
control (C) (depending on model).
- If the steam flow for your iron is variable,
select this by setting the steam adjustment
control (C) to the desired zone (depending on
model).
Please note: Steam ironing is only possible in
the steam zone indicated on the temperature
adjustment control (J).
. Dry ironing
- Adjust the steam adjustment control (C) to the
setting .
. Spray
- Press the spray button (E) in pulses.A spray of
cold water enables you to dampen your
laundry whether you are ironing dry or with
steam. Very effective in getting rid of a crease!
. Pressing (depending on model)
- Push the pressing button (F). Your iron will
then instantly release a high-powered jet of
steam.
Notes:
- Do not exceed 5 successive pulses, in order to
prevent your iron from dripping.
- Always use this function in the steam zone
indicated on the temperature adjustment
control (J).
- When you use the pressing function for the
first time, small fragments of scale may come
out with the jet of steam via the holes in the
soleplate. We therefore advise that you press
the jet steam away from your linen on first use.
. Perfectpoint (depending on model)
- Press button (G). Your iron will instantly
release a high-powered jet of steam,
concentrated on the zone in front of the
soleplate, for reaching difficult places
(armholes, buttonholes, etc.).
. Vertical crease removal (depending on
model)
You also have the option of using your iron in
the vertical position to remove creases from
your clothes on a hanger, curtains, etc.
For models without the Perfectpoint
system:
- Set the temperature adjustment control (J) to
«MAX» setting.
- Hold the iron in the vertical position close to
the fabric, without touching it. Push the
pressing button (F) at the rate of not more than
one pulse per second.
For models with the Perfectpoint system:
- Set the temperature adjustment control (J) to
«MAX» setting.
- Hold the iron in the vertical position close to
the fabric, without touching it. Press the
Perfectpoint button (G) at the rate of not
more than one pulse per second.
Notes:
- You can use up to 5 pulses in the vertical
position. Put down your iron for a few seconds
before resuming crease removal.
- The steam produced is not always visible, but
still retains its ability to remove creases.
Important: Never use this function for synthetic
fibres. Keep the iron far away enough from the
fabric to avoid any risk of scorching. As the
steam produced is very hot, never remove
creases from a garment which is being worn by
someone - it must always be on a hanger.
. “Aqua stop” (drip-stop system) (depending
on model)
This system controls the temperature of the
soleplate at all times. Below a certain
temperature, the “Aqua Stop” system cuts off
the flow of water and stops the iron from
dripping onto the laundry.
. Anticalc System (depending on model)
This fixed system, located within the tank,
reduces the problems linked with scale buildup.
To prolong the effectiveness of this system, we
advise that you perform the following operation
approximately once every 30 uses:
10
power cable by making a loop of about 10 cm
starting from the iron.
- Store it on its heel.
What to do if your
appliance does not work
11
The iron is cold and unplugged.
- Completely dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt
(NaCl - cooking salt) in 1/2 litre of cold water.
- Fill the tank with this mixture and leave it to act
for 15 minutes.
- Empty the tank.
- Repeat the same operation with the remaining
mixture.
- Then fill the tank with fresh water to rinse
and empty it.
Maintenance
. Auto-cleaning
In order to reduce the formation of scale,
Moulinex has integrated an auto-cleaning
system into your iron, which we advise you to
operate at regular intervals approx once per
month. Please follow these steps:
- The iron should be cold and unplugged.
- Set the steam adjustment control (C) to
position .
- Fill the tank up to the maximum level.
- Set the temperature adjustment control (J) to
MAX. Plug in the iron. As soon as the
temperature indicator light (I) goes out, unplug
the iron and place it over the sink. Turn the
steam control light (C) to the auto-clean
position . Allow the tank to empty. The
mixture of water/steam will carry away the
scale residues contained in the soleplate.
- Then reset the steam adjustment control (C)
to position .
- Using slow, deliberate movements, swing the
iron from left to right to give the soleplate a
good rinse and to remove the water remaining
in the soleplate. Empty the iron.
- Plug in the iron again in order to dry the
soleplate: perform this operation over a cloth
(watch out for water splashes or steam being
ejected).
- After this operation, unplug the iron once
more.
- Clean the soleplate on a cloth made of thick,
clean, damp cotton, before putting away the
iron or before using it again (iron cold).
Storage
After each use:
- Unplug the iron.
- Empty the water tank.

Ironing guide
What temperature to use
Please refer to the labels on your laundry to find
out the composition of the fabrics or ironing
instructions.
. If the fabrics are made of various types of
textile, adjust the temperature control to the
lowest recommended temperature. If you
cannot determine the composition of the
fabrics from the label, do a test on a part of the
garment which will not be seen, starting at the
lowest temperature.
. Sort your laundry before ironing, grouping the
same types of textile. The iron heats up more
quickly than it cools down, so start by ironing

Do not iron this article.
the laundry requiring the lowest temperature
and continue to higher temperatures (see
table above).
. Wool mixes can be steam-ironed. To prevent
the soleplate of your iron coming into direct
contact with the wool, place a dry cloth over
the fabric to be ironed.You can also iron these
items on the reverse.
. to avoid making delicate fabrics shiny (silk,
velvet, viscose, etc.) or for fabrics with
impressions (transfer, flocking, etc.), iron on
the reverse.
. As some marks may be fixed by a high
temperature, it is preferable only to iron your
laundry once all marks and stains have been
completely removed.
The water to use in your iron
Your iron has been designed to operate using
untreated tap water. However, if your water is
very hard, mix it 50 % tap water with 50 %
distilled water.
Our advice: distilled water or demineralised +
tap water (half and half) if your water is hard.
Types of water to be avoided
Do not add anything to the contents of the water
tank and do not use pure demineralised water,
water from clothes dryers, scented or softened
water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air
conditioners, pure distilled water or rainwater.
These contain organic waste or mineral
elements that become concentrated when
heated and cause spitting, brown staining or
premature wear to your iron. Never use
additives (perfumed water, starch, perfumed
oils…).
Practical advice
. Maintenance of the soleplate
- Clean it at regular intervals. The longer you
wait to clean the soleplate, the harder it will be
to remove any marks
- Never scratch the soleplate and do not use
aggressive or abrasive products to clean it.
Traces of water, starch or lime
When the iron is cold, rub with a thick cotton
cloth soaked in white vinegar. Rinse
immediately with water and dry.
Stuck-on textiles
- Allow your iron to cool (30 minutes at least)
after unplugging it, then plug it in again and
set the thermostat to the MAXI setting. Once
the iron is hot, place on an ironing board a
clean, thick cotton cloth and rub the soleplate
of your iron on it vigorously. For greater
effectiveness, you can place your cloth on the
edge of the board. Do not forget to clean the
sides of the soleplate.

Scratches
To keep the stainless steel, chrome or non-stick
soleplate of your iron in good condition and to
avoid scratches and dirty marks:
- never put the soleplate down on a rough or
abrasive surface
- do not iron the metallic parts (zips, etc.) of
your laundry.
- spray starch on reverse side of fabric
Note: When your water causes brown marks,
this means it contains organic residues. You
should then clean the iron. If these marks
persist, it would be best to change the type of
water you use.
Moulinex strongly recommends that you do
not use descaling products (powder or
liquid) to descale your iron.
