KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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

3 • Temperature and steam adjustment
Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the temperature control dial
(fig.3).
