What water may be used ?
• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. 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)

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.
