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.

• 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 !

i 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

• Before filling
the water tank,
unplug the iron.

• 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.

2

• Plug in your
iron.

2 • Setting the temperature

Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using
the temperature control dial.
Temperature control: The temperature control light indi­cates that the soleplate is heating up. When the tempera­ture control light goes off , the set temperature is reached
and you can begin ironing.

Ironing label Fabric Temperature control

Synthetic fibres, e.g.
viscose, polyester…

Silk, wool

Cotton, linen

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.

TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

1 min.

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.
