The types of water listedbelowcontainorganicwaste or mineral elements that cancause spitting,brownstaining 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 youriron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

Ifyourwater is very hard (check with your local water authority) itis possibleto mixuntreated tap water with store-bought distilled ordemineralised water inthefollowing proportions: 50% untreatedtap water,50% distilled ordemineralised water.

Preparation

Filling the water tank

• Place the steam generator on a stable, horizontal and heat-resistant surface.

• Ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest have cooled down.

• Openthe water tank filler cover - fig.4.

• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark - fig.5.

• Close the water tankfiller cover.

• Your iron is equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from dragging over thelaundry andcreasingitagainwhen ironing.

• Take thesteam cord out of its housing and unwind itcompletely.

• Remove the tie to release the cord outlet.

• Press the Eject button - fig.6and the Easycord system extends automatically.

• When the cord outlet tips, the Easycord system extends automatically without you having to press theEjectbutton.

Using the Easycord system

Operating the control panel

• Green light flashes: the boiler heats up. - fig.7.

• Green light on: the steam is ready - fig.7.

• Red light “water tank” on:the water tank is empty - fig.10.

• The orange “anti-calc” indicator flashes - fig.12: you need to rinse the scale collector.

Switch on the steam generator

• Completely unwind the power cord and thesteam cord from its storage space.

• Lowerthe retaining hoop (depending on model) to unlock the safety catch - fig.3.

• Plug your steamgenerator into a mains socket with an earth pin”.

• Press on the on / off switch. The green light (located on the control panel) flashes and the

boiler heatsup- fig.7. When the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (after 2 minutes approximately), the appliance isready.

The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.

Steam ironing

• Placetheiron'stemperaturecontrolslideaccording tothetype offabrictobeironed (seetablebelow).

• The thermostat light comes on. Be careful ! The steam generator is ready when the thermostat light goes out andwhen thegreen “steam ready”lightstays on.

• Adjust the steamoutput controldial (located on the controlpanel).

• While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on and off, as the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.

• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and keep it pressed fig.8. The steam will stop whenyou releasethe button.

• When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects water intothe boiler. It makes a noise but this isquitenormal. You mayalso hear a clicking noise which is thesteam valve opening. Again this is normal.

• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabricto be ironed.

Use

Do not place the iron on a metal support.When taking a break from ironing, always place the iron on the iron rest plate of the unit. It is equipped with non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures.

Always use the Easycord system for enhanced comfort of use.

Ironing Boards: 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.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE AND STEAM OUTPUT ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:

To prime thesteam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or ifyouhave not used the steam function for a few minutes, press thesteam control button several times in a row, holdingthe iron awayfrom your clothes

- fig.8. This will

enable any cold water to be ejected from thesteam circuit.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning your steam generator

• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaningthe soleplate base-unit.

• Never hold the iron or the base unitunderthe tap.

• Empty and rinse the removable water tank.

• Clean the plastic parts of the applianceoccasionally witha soft cloth.

Tip: for easy, non-aggressive cleaning of the sole plate of your iron, use a damp sponge to clean the sole plate while it is still warm.

Vertical steam ironing

• Set theiron temperature controlslideand thesteam output control dial (locatedonthe control panel)tothe MAX position.

• Hang the garment on a coathanger and hold thefabric slightly taut with one hand.

As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.

• Holding the iron in a vertical position - fig.8, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam control button (underneath theironhandle) moving the iron fromtop to bottom - fig.9.

Refilling the water tank

• Whenthe red “tank empty” indicatorlightturns on, thereis nomoresteam- fig.10.Thewatertankisempty.

• Unplug the steam generator. Open the tank filler flap - fig.4. Fill the water tank up without exceeding the MAX level - fig.5.

• Close the water tank filler cover.

• Plug in the steam generator. Press the “Restart” button - fig.11, on the control panel to continue ironing. When the green indicatorremains lit, the steamisready.

TURBO Function (according to model)

• Press the Turbocontrol 2 or 3 times when you needextra steam:

- for ironingthicker fabrics,

- for gettingrid of creases,

- for powerful vertical steaming.

Use the Turbo function with care as its exceptional steam power can cause burns.

Recommendations : for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.

Easy descaling of your steam generator:

To extendthe life of your steamgeneratorand avoid scale onyourironing, yoursteam generator is equipped with a built-inscale collector. This valve,locatedinthe tank, automatically removes the scale that forms inside.

Operation:

• Anorange“anti-scale” lightlocated on thecontrol panel startsblinkingtotellyou that theanti-

scale valveneedsrinsing - fig.12.

Important: This operation must not be carried out unless the steam generator has been unplugged for at least two hours and has cooled down completely. To carry out this operation, the steam generator must be close to a sink as water may come out of the tank when it is opened.

• Once the steamgenerator has cooled down completely,remove thescalecollectorcover- fig.13.

• Unscrew the anti-scalevalve andremoveit fromthehousing;it containsthe scalethathas built

up in thetank- fig.14 and fig.15.

• To clean the valve properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it contains -

fig.16.

• Put the valve back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight - fig.17.

• Refit the scale collector cover - fig. 18.

The next time you use your iron, press the “restart” button on the control panel to turn off the orange “anti-scale” light.

Do not use any descaling substances (vinegar, industrial descaling products, etc.) when rinsing the anti-scale valve : they could damage it. Before emptying your steam generator, it must always be left to cool for 2 hours to avoid any risks of scalding.

Storing the steam generator

• Press the illuminated on/offswitch and unplug the generator.

• Place the irononthe housingplate on the steam generator.

• Raise the retaining hoopover the iron until it locks into place (audible click) - fig.2.

• Your iron is then safely retained on its base. Warning: do not touch thesoleplate while still hot.

• Slot the extension cord outlet in the notch (depending on model). Take the end of the cord support and press to returnthe flexible partinto the base.

• Store the steam cord in its slide storage place - fig.19. Take it, fold it in two so as to make a loop. Put the end of this loop in the slide storage place then push gently until you see the end on the other side of the slide storage place - fig.20.

• Leave the steam generator to cool for at least one hour before putting it away if it is to be stored in a cupboard or confinedspace.

• You can store thesteam generator in completesafety.
