Important recommendations
RECOMMENDATIONS
Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing
fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first,
then go on to those requiring a higher temperature.
When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the
ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre.
Never exceed the water tank MAX level.
Store the cold iron on its heel.
Never use abrasive or aggressive products to clean
the soleplate and the other parts of the iron.
ANTI DRIP
(according to model)
The Anti Drip system prevents water dripping from
the soleplate when the temperature is too low.
ANTI CALC
(according to model)
The integrated Anti Calc system gives better ironing
quality: a constant flow of steam throughout the
ironing session and longer lasting performance of
your appliance.
WHAT TYPE OF WATER TO USE ?
Your appliance has been designed to function with
untreated tap water. However, self-cleaning of the
appliances should be carried out once a month in
order to eliminate hard water deposits from the
steam chamber. If you have very hard water, mix
untreated tap water with commercially available
demineralised or distilled water in the following
ratio:
- 50% untreated tap water,
- 50% demineralised or distilled water.
Types of water not to use: Heat concentrates the
elements contained in water during evaporation.
The types of water listed below may contain
organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that
can cause spitting, brown staining or premature
wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers,
scented or softened water, water from refrigerators,
batteries, air conditioners, rain water,boiled, filtered
or bottled water.
