2. Steam ironing
• FILLING THE WATER TANK :
- Unplug your iron before filling it.
- Set the steam control on DRY (1) ( )
- Fill the beaker
- Open the water tank cover completely (2), set the iron on a
table (not when the iron is hot) shown in the diagram (3) and
fill the tank.
- Do not exceed the “MAX” line indicated on the water tank
(with the iron set on its heel).
- Close the water tank cover.

= Steam zone
Recommandations :
Fabrics and ironing temperatures :
• Your iron heats up quickly : begin by ironing those
fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures, then go on to
those requiring a higher temperature;
• If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat
light comes back on before beginning to iron again.
• When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing
temperature for the most delicate of the fibres.
• DAMPENING THE LINEN (SPRAY) ( )
- When steam or dry ironing, press several times on the Spray
Button to moisten the linen (7) and to remove stubborn creases.
The double spray dampens the linen more efficiently.
- Make sure that there is water in the tank before using this
button.
• OBTAINING MORE STEAM FOR REMOVING CREASES (
)
- Press the Shot of steam button (8)
- Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the
button again.
• VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
- Hang up the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly
taut with one hand.
- Set the thermostat control on MAX (9)
- Press the Shot of Steam button ( ) repeatedly (10),
moving the iron from top to bottom (11).
- Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabrics to avoid
burning delicate fabrics.
• ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGE (depending on the model)
- This system which is located inside the tank, reduces the
problems connected with limescale build-up (12)
• ANTI-DRIP FUNCTION “AQUA-STOP” (depending on the
model) (13)
- This system controls the water flow to the soleplate at all
times.
Below a certain temperature, the « anti-drip » function cuts off
the flow of water and stops the iron from dripping onto the
laundry.
• AUTO-STOP SAFETY FEATURE (depending on the
model) (14)
- The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the
Auto-stop warning light flashes if the iron is left vertically on
its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal position
for more than 30 seconds.
To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light
stops flashing.
Note : When the Auto-Stop warning light is on, it is normal
for the thermostat light to be off.
3. Dry ironing ( )
- Set the temperature.
- Set the steam control on DRY (1).
- You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out
and comes on again.
4. Maintaining your iron
BE CAREFUL!
Unplug your iron and let it cool off before cleaning it.
• USING THE SELF-CLEANING FUNCTION
In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-
Cleaning function once per month (do not use descaling
agents).
- The iron must be cold
- Set the steam control button (C) to the dry position.
- Fill the tank up to the maximum level and set the
thermostat control dial (9) to MAX
- Plug in the iron
As soon as the temperature control indicator light goes
out, unplug the iron and hold it over the sink.
- Turn the steam control button (C) to position “Self-Clean”
- Hold the iron over the sink for 15 seconds.
