IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using
1. Only use an iron for its intended use.
2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water
or other liquids.
3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from
the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from
the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
4. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely
before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when
storing.
5. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the
iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is
not in use.
6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron
has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do
not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric
shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
7. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or
on an ironing board.

8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam.
Use caution when you turn a STEAM IRON upside down – there might
be hot water in the reservoir.
9. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit
with another high wattage appliance.
10. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere
rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be
used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so
that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.
11. This appliance is not intended for use by children and other persons
whose physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without
supervision or instruction by a responsible person to ensure that they
can use the appliance safely.
12. Children should be supervised by the responsible person to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
13. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface;
14. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which
the stand is placed is stable;
15. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible
signs of damage or if it is leaking.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
16. The iron must not be left unattend while it is connected to supply
mains.
17. Always disconect the iron from the electrical outlet, before you leave
the room.

BEFORE USE
WARNING ! Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron.
WARNING ! 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 Shot of Steam button a few times.
During the first few uses, a harmless odour and a small amount of smoke may
be given off.
This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
Upon the first use, you may notice small particles coming out of the soleplate.
This is parf of manufacturing process and is not harmful to you or your
garments. It will disappear after several uses. You may accelerate this by using
the self cleaning function (fig 5a – 5b) and shaking the iron gently.
1 • 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.
IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during
evaporation. 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 clothes 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 boiled, filtered or
bottled water.
IRONING BOARD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board
must be used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting
sideways.
USE
2 • Filling the water tank
IMPORTANT Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron and set the steam
control to dry position .
Tilt the iron. Open the filling inlet (fig.6). Pour in water up to the max mark (fig.7).
Close the filling inlet (fig.8) and return the iron to the horizontal.
3 • Temperature and steam adjustment
Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the temperature control dial
(fig.3).
Temperature control: The temperature control light indicates that the soleplate is
heating up. When the temperature control light goes off (fig.10), the set temperature is
reached and you can begin ironing.

* depending on model
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.
4 • Dry ironing
Set the variable steam control to (fig.11) and set the temperature to suit the type
of material (care points •, ••, •••).
5 • Eco steam system
Your Steam Iron is equipped with the Eco Steam System. This function offers 3 steam
settings for optimal ironing:
- DRY position: For an ironing without steam, ideal for delicates or perfect finishes.
- ECO position: For an optimized ironing with a steam output perfectly adapted to all
fabric types. This setting ensures qualitative ironing results while saving energy.
- BOOST position: For increased variable steam output to reach perfect result on
thickest fabrics.
6 • Shot of steam
(from temperature setting •• upwards)
Press the shot of steam button to generate a powerful jet of steam
(fig.16)
.
Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.
7 • Vertical shot of steam
(from temperature setting •• upwards)
TIP Hold the iron 10 to 20 centimetres away from the garment to avoid burning
delicate fabrics.
Hold the iron to the vertical and press the shot of steam button ( fig.17) to remove
creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc.
5
Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.
IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals!
8 • Spray
Press the spray button to dampen stubborn creases (fig.18).
9 • Anti-Drip system*
This prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low.
10 • Automatic electronic 3-position shut-off*
If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically switch off and
the auto off light will blink after the following intervals:
- After 30 sec., if the iron is left resting on the the soleplate or lying on its side.
- After 8 mins., if the iron is left resting on its heel.
To switch the iron back on, move the iron gently.
AFTER USE
11 • Emptying
Unplug the iron (fig.4), pour away remaining water (fig.20) and set steam control to
.
Open and close the steam control several times (fig.16) to prevent the valve hole into
the steam chamber from scaling or blocking up.
12 • Storing
Allow the appliance to cool down before storing the iron standing on its heel (fig.21).
IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate. Never store your
iron placed down on the soleplate.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance
and cleaning.
13 • 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.
14 • Self Clean function
(prolongs the life of the iron)
The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
IMPORTANT Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining of the
steam chamber and so may impair the steam function.
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. Hold the Selfclean button into the Self Clean position (fig.5a-b) and shake it gently: steam will now
begin to build up.

* depending on model
A fter a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale
particles out of the steam chamber.
Move the steam control to position after approx. 1 minute.
Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water has
evaporated. Unplug from the mains 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.
15 • Cleaning the iron
When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as
required.
Remove the dirt from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge.
IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean
soleplate and other parts of the iron.
