Using your steam generator
• Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its storage space– fig.23.
• Lower the retaining hoop (depending on model) to unlock the safety catch – fig.3.
• Plug in your steam generator to an earthed socket.
• Press on the on / off switch. The green light (located on the control panel) flashes and the
boiler heats up –
fig.14.
When the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (after 2 minutes approximately), the
appliance is ready.
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.

Preparation
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
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.
Filling the water tank
• Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant surface.
• Remove the water tank by pulling on the handle (at the front of the generator) – fig.4.
• Fill the tank with water, taking care not to exceed the maximum level – fig.6. and fig.7.
• Slide the tank back into its housing until its “clicks” into place – fig.5.
Locking system for retaining the iron on the base - Lock-system
(depending on model)
• Your iron is equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from
dragging over the laundry and creasing it again when ironing. It also keeps the cord
out of the way of your hand.
Ironing with the Ultracord system:
- The Ultracord system automatically tips back.
- Each time you put the iron back on its base, the Ultracord system fits into the heel
of the iron and opens back up automatically when you use the iron.
Storing the generator:
- Fold the connector back onto the heel.
- A magnet holds the connector to the heel of the iron, making your generator easy to
store –
fig.8.
