cause irreversible damage to the iron and will invalidate the guarantee.
• This iron must always be plugged into an earthed socket. If using a mains extension lead,
ensure that it is correctly rated. If you use an extension lead, check that it is adpated to the
power indicated on the information panel on the iron.
• If the electrical cord becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by an Approved

• The appliance should not be used if it has fallen, if it has obvious damage, if it leaks or has
functional anomalies. Never dismantle your appliance: have it inspected by an Approved Service Centre, so as to avoid any danger.
• Never immerse your iron in water !
• Do not unplug your appliance by pulling on the cord. Always unplug your appliance: before
filling or rinsing the reservoir, before cleaning it, after each use.
• Never leave the appliance unsupervised when it is connected to a power source; if it has not

Use
• Adjust the thermostat button (fig.5), consulting the table
below.
• The thermostat light comes on (fig.6). It will go out when the
soleplate is hot enough.
Adjust the temperature and the steam
It is normal for the indicator light to switch on
and off during ironing
Before first use
• Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated
tap water. However, Self-cleaning of the appliance should be
carried out once a month.
• Never use any of the types of water below that contain organic waste or mineral elements and may cause spitting, brown
staining or premature ageing of your appliance: commercially
available pure demineralised water, water from tumble dryers,
scented water, softened water, water from refrigerators, water
from batteries, water from air conditioners, distilled water, rain
water, boiled or filtered water, bottled water, etc.
• The integrated anticalc system (depending on model) gives
better quality ironing: a constant flow of steam throughout the
ironing session and lasting performance of your appliance.
Preparation
• Unplug your iron before filling it and set the steam control to
(fig.1).
• Open the reservoir refilling hatch (fig.2), place the iron flat and
fill it (fig.3).
• Close the reservoir refilling hatch.
• Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time,
we recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a
few moments, away from your linen, i.e. press the Boost button
a few times (depending on model).
• During the first few uses, a harmless odour and smoke may be
given off. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
What water to use ?
Filling the water tank
Fill the tank up to the
“MAX”
Please read these
instructions carefully and
keep them for future
reference.
Remove and throw away
the plastic part that
protects the cord (A).
Remove any labels from
the soleplate before
heating up the iron
(depending on model).
If you have very hard
water, mix tap water with
commercially available
demineralised water in the
following ratio:
- 50% tap water,
- 50% demineralised water.
Deploy the Easycord system
• Your iron is equipped with the Easycord system to prevent the
cord trailing across the laundry and creasing it during ironing.
• Press the button located on the base (fig.4) and the Easycord
system is automatically deployed. You can now plug in your
appliance and begin ironing.
Always use the Easycord
system for enhanced comfort of use.

Store your iron
• Set the steam control to and unplug the iron.
• Wait until the soleplate cools down and empty the reservoir. A
little water may remain in the reservoir.
• To wind the cord around the heel of the iron, slot the Easycord
system into the notch (fig.11). Take the end of the Easycord
system and press to make the flexible part go back into the base
(fig.12). Wind the cord.
• Store the cold iron on its heel (fig.13).
Obtain more steam (depending on model)
• Press the Boost button now and again to remove stubborn
creases (fig.8).
Wait a few seconds
between each shot before
pressing the button again.
Vertical steam ironing (depending on model)
Ideal for removing creases in suits, jackets, skirts, curtains, etc.:
• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut
with one hand.
• Set the thermostat control to MAX (fig.5).
• Press the Boost button repeatedly (fig.8) moving the iron
from top to bottom (fig.10).
• Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning
delicate fabrics.
Every fifth time you press
the button, return the iron
to the horizontal position.
The steam is very hot, so
you should always do this
with the garment on a
hanger – never while
someone is wearing it.
Spray Function
• Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the Spray
button (fig.9) to dampen laundry to remove stubborn crea-
ses.
In order to avoid water
dripping from the iron
onto the linen:
- turn off the steam when
ironing silk or synthetic
fabrics.
- set it at the minimum
position for wool.
If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the
thermostat light comes
back on before beginning
to iron again. When
ironing fabrics with mixed
fibres, set the ironing
temperature for the most
delicate fibre. For delicate
fabrics we recommend
testing the fabric first on
an inconspicious place eg
(inside the hem).
If you want to dry iron, set
the Steam control to
