HOW TO USE YOUR IRONING SYSTEM

Remove any labels from the soleplate before using the appliance.

Disconnecting the iron from the tank must occur always and only with the power
plug unplugged from the outlet.

The Senza 200DS can be used in two ways: as an ironing system or as a traditional
iron.

The ironing system mode is recommended for large quantities of clothes and long
ironing times, while for lesser quantities or less ironing time it is recommended to
use the traditional ironing mode.

To use it as ironing system make sure that the iron/boiler connecting cable
(P) and the power cord (A) are inserted in the connection on the cord storage
compartment (X) at the base of the appliance (Fig. 3). See “Using the iron as an
ironing system”.

For use in traditional iron mode, unplug the power cord (A) and the iron/boiler
connecting cable (P) from the connections on the cord storage compartment (X)
by pressing the release hook (Q). Connect the cables to each other (Fig. 6) until
you hear a slight click. See “Using as a traditional iron”.

To return to using the ironing system mode, unplug the power cord (A) and the
iron/boiler connecting cable (P), by pressing the release hook (Q). Insert the two
cables into the connections on the cord storage compartment (X) at the base of
the appliance until you hear a slight click.

06

USING THE IRON AS IRONING SYSTEM (FIG. 2)

FILLING THE TANK BEFORE USE

WARNING: Make sure the unit has been disconnected from the power supply
before filling the tank (B) with water.

Before plugging it in, completely unwind the power cord. Rotate the tank lid (C).
Fill the tank with cool tap water (Fig. 7).

NEVER fill the tank beyond the MAX level.

Do not add any additives or chemicals (such as: amides, starches, perfume or
other); otherwise, the warranty may be revoked.

WARNING: To avoid damaging the pump, never operate the appliance without any
water in the tank, even for dry ironing.

Close the tank lid (C).

SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE

Place the appliance on a horizontal and stable surface. The power cord (A) and
the iron/boiler connecting cable (P) are coupled to the connections on the cord
storage compartment (X) (Fig. 3). Connect the appliance to the power supply,
ensuring that the voltage indicated on the identification plate corresponds to your
local power supply.

Before you turn on the appliance, make sure there is sufficient water inside of the
tank.

Press the iron power switch (Fig. 10) and set the temperature control knob to the
desired temperature. Press the boiler on-off switch (Fig. 9). When the steam ready
light (R) turns on, the steam is ready.

When first used, the iron may give out a little smoke: This transitory effect is
perfectly normal and will disappear very soon.

Upon first use, after filling the tank, it is necessary to adjust the temperature
control knob (L) over the symbol (•••) and press the steam button (K) Fig. 11 until
the iron does not produce steam (about one minute) Fig. 13. The iron is now ready
for use. Before applying a jet of steam to the article to be ironed, release two or
three good jets of steam towards the floor to stabilize the steam flow.

WARNING: Do not release steam when the iron is standing on its support rest (D).
A decrease in the steam output may occur soon after the pump starts operating:
it is perfectly normal and after a few seconds the steam will be normal. If the iron
has not been used for a long period of time, it is advisable to keep it in a horizontal
position and send a few shots of steam to the floor in order to stabilize the jet
before ironing.

07

STEAM ADJUSTMENT

The appliance is equipped with a regulator (T) that allows the steam output
to be adjusted from a minimum to a maximum setting according to ironing
requirements.

SHOT OF STEAM

For ironing thicker fabrics and for a powerful anti-crease action in vertical
position, it is possible to operate the turbo steam function. Make sure that there
is water in the tank (B) and in the iron tank (M). Place the control knob (T) on
the MAX setting. Wait for the steam ready light (R) to turn on. Set the ironing
temperature by turning the adjustment knob (L) past the symbol (•••). Wait for the
indicator lamp (N) of the iron to turn off. Press the steam button (K) from 3 to 5
seconds.

(Fig. 11). If the steam supply button (K) is operated continuously for more than 30
seconds, drops of water may come from the steam holes in the plate of the iron. It
is recommended that the button (K) be used for shorter periods.

CONTINUOUS STEAM

Turn the steam adjustment knob (T) to MAX. Wait for the steam ready light (R)
to turn on. Set the ironing temperature by turning the adjustment knob (L) past
the symbol (•••). Wait for the indicator lamp (N) of the iron to turn off. When
the temperature has reached, press the steam button (K) Fig. 12. The cursor (J)
will lock the button, allowing the jet of steam to exit continuously. To unlock the
button (K) and stop the continuous jet, press the cursor (J) forward (Fig. 14).

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

First check whether the fabric has a label containing ironing instructions and
compare the symbol with the instructions that follow. If there is no label with
instructions, and you know the type of material, follow the instructions below.

Note that the table refers to fabrics not treated with sizing agents or similar
products; if they have been, you can also iron at a lower temperature.

When you change the temperature by turning the adjustment knob (L), the light
(N) will turn on and stay on until the iron reaches the new temperature.

08

FILLING THE TANK

Always check the level of water in the tank while you are ironing.

Add enough water to the tank so that the water level is always visible. Do not go
past the MAX level. If the tank remains without water, you will notice a vibration
and loud noise. Turn off the appliance by pressing the switches (S) and (U) and
unplug it from the electrical outlet.

WARNING: Always turn off the appliance and remove the power cable plug from the
outlet before filling the tank with water.

Add water directly in the tank (Fig. 7). Insert the plug into the electrical outlet and
turn on the appliance again.

If the appliance is not switched off promptly, overheating of the pump could cause
a momentary stoppage of the appliance. Therefore it is necessary to switch off the
appliance and fill the tank. Wait for the appliance to cool down to resume normal
operation.

SPRAY BUTTON
