IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions before using the iron
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron or
the base of the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron should always be turned OFF before plugging or unplugging
from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water
or emptying and when not in use.
• Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
the iron. Contact our Consumer Service Department for examination,
repair or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric
shock when the iron is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near
children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam.
Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down - there may be hot
water in the reservoir.
• This appliance is only for domestic and personal use.
• This appliance complies with the technical rules and standards for safety currently in force (Electromagnetic Compatibility, Low Voltage, Environment).
• This appliance is not designed to be used by children and people with
a physical, sensory or mental impairment, or people without knowledge
or experience, unless they are supervised or given prior instructions
concerning the use of the appliance by someone responsible for their
safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Warning ! The voltage of your electrical outlet must correspond to that
of the iron (120V). Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreversible damage to the iron and will invalidate the guarantee.

* depending on model
• If the electrical cord becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by an approved Service Center to avoid any danger.
• The appliance should not be used if it has fallen, if it has obvious damage, if it leaks or has functional irregularities. Never dismantle your
appliance; have it inspected by an approved Service Center to avoid any
danger.
• Always unplug your appliance before filling or rinsing the reservoir,
before cleaning it and after each use.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in or while
the soleplate remains hot (approximately 60 minutes).
• Your appliance gives off steam, which may cause burns, especially
when you are ironing on a corner of your ironing board. Never direct the
steam toward people or animals.
• Your iron should be used and placed on a stable surface. When you
put your iron onto its heel or the iron rest, make sure that the surface
on which you put it is stable.
• Any inappropriate use or use contrary to these instructions releases
the brand from all responsibility and renders the guarantee invalid.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere cord should
be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Environment protection first !
Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be
recovered or recycled.
Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.
BEFORE USE
IMPORTANT Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate
protector Warning! Before using your iron with the steam function
for the first time, we recommend that you operate the steam in a
horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen, i.e.
press the burst of Steam button a few times. During the first few
uses, a harmless odour and a small amount of smoke may be
noticable. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will cease
quickly.

WHAT WATER MAY BE USED ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check with your
local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated tap water
with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can
cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: water from tumble
dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air
conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in
your iron. Also do not use boiling, or bottled mineral water.
IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation.
USE
1 • Filling the water tank
2 • Setting the temperature
• Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam Electronic Control function,
which automatically adjusts the steam amount and the temperature
based on the selected fabric for optimum results.
• Select the fabric to be ironed by turning the thermostat. The selected fabric will be illuminated on the display.
• For perfect results, an optimum position for each fabric has been pre-defined. This position is marked on the dial and also represented with a louder “click” sound. You can also set your iron based on the international
temperature measurements • •• •••. Ensure your thermostat dial is positioned on these settings.
• When your iron reaches the required temperature, the thermostat indicator turns off.
• You can start ironing.
IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up.
We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low
temperature.
For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabric.
• Set the temperature
control dial on Min.
mark.
• Open the filling
inlet. Fill in water
up to the Max.
mark. Close the filling inlet and return
the iron to the horizontal position.
• Plug in
your iron.
• Before filling
the water tank,
unplug the iron.

* depending on model
TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
3 • Dry ironing
• Set the temperature to suit the type of material without pushing the autosteam trigger and
burst of steam button.
4 • Steam ironing (Autosteam & Steamforce)
• Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam function.
The steam quantity and the temperature will adjust automatically
to the selected fabric.
To get continuous steam pull the autosteam trigger.
Your iron is equipped with a pump called Steamforce Technology which
pushes 30 % more steam into the heart of the fibres. The pump may
make a slight noise.
• This is not a technical fault! A few seconds are required to produce or to
stop the steam.
5 • Burst of steam
• Press the burst of steam button
to generate a powerful jet of steam.

• For your safety, the electronic system cuts off the power and the auto
off indicator light flashes if:
- The iron remains motionless for more than 8 minutes on its heel.
- The iron remains flat or on its side for more than 30 seconds.
- To restart the iron, just move it gently until the auto-off indicator
light stops flashing.
AFTER USE
10 • Emptying
• Unplug the iron.
• Pour away remaining water.
• Set the temperature control
dial on position Min.
11 • Storing
• Allow the appliance to cool down before storing the iron standing on its
heel.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and
cleaning.
12 • Anti-scale system
• Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits.
• This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron.
• The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced.
13 • Cleaning the iron
• When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as required.
14 • Self Clean (prolongs the life of the iron)
IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean the
soleplate and other parts of the iron.
WARNING : Do not use descaling agents even if advertised for steam irons. They will
permanently damage your iron.
• The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam
chamber. Fill the water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark
and heat the iron to the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over
a sink horizontally. Push the self clean button for 1 minute: steam will
now begin to build up. After a few seconds water will emerge from the
soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
• Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water has evaporated. Unplug from the power outlet and allow the
iron to fully cool down.
• When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.
TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, clean
the iron weekly.
IMPORTANT Leave an interval of a few seconds between each shot and wait until the
flow of steam has finished before standing the iron on its heel.
