Operation Manual

••• ENGLISH
Turn the temperature control knob (18) of the iron so that the indicator (17) points to
the temperature suited to the type of fabric you want to iron (see table in fig. 3).
HOW TO FILL THE BOILER WITH WATER
• Always unplug the iron from the outlet when doing this.
• Rest the appliance on a firm flat surface before using it.
• Unscrew the cap (5) in anticlockwise direction and slowly pour the water through
the boiler opening (capacity: 0,8 l about).
• Screw up the cap again in clockwise direction.
WARNING!
Use running water to fill the boiler only: never add detergents, perfumed substances,
chemical additives.
Suggestions: Use distilled water, if the water is particularly calcareous.
HOW TO START
• Place the iron on the boiler support base (3).
• Turn the iron temperature control knob (18) to “steam ironing” (see table 3)
• Completely unwind the cord (7) and plug into outlet.
• The indicator lamp (19) on the iron will come on immediately and will go out a few
minutes after reaching the required temperature.
• Turn the boiler on by bringing the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position (I): the light
will turn on.
• The appliance is ready to use when the light (8 ) turns on.
WARNING!
Never unscrew the boiler cap (5) while the appliance is working.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when connected to the mains power supply.
Make sure the boiler body is on a stable surface before placing the iron on top.
Do not use the iron if it has been dropped, if there are signs of damage or if water leaks
from the soleplate.
IRONING
• Press button (15) on the iron for the steam jet: the steam will stop coming out when
you release the button.
• During use, the iron light (19) and the boiler light (8 ) will turn on. They will
automatically turn off to indicate that the soleplate is being kept at a constant
temperature.
• Rest the iron on the boiler support base (3) during intervals between ironing.
• With the iron held upright at a distance of 10/20 cm you can use the jet of steam to
smooth out creases and freshen up materials while they are hanging.
• Before ironing delicate fabrics it is best to make trial run on a hidden piece e.g. the
hem.
• We advise you to iron materials needing low temperatures first then go on to more
resistant materials, needing higher temperatures, afterwards.
• To use the continuos steam function, press the steam output key (15) and at the same
time slide the cursor (16) towards the handgrip. To turn this function off, slide the
cursor (16) in the opposite direction to the handrigp.
• The amount of steam you want to use during ironing can be set via the steam control
dial (10): for more steam, turn the dial in a clockwise direction, for less steam, turn the
dial in a counter clockwise direction.
WARNING!
• Some drops of water may leak out of the iron soleplate (14) when the jet of steam
starts coming out; this is quite normal and is due to condensation forming inside the
iron-boiler connecting tube (6). This will disappear with the next jet of steam. It is
therefore best not to point the first jet of steam directly onto the item to be ironed.
• Never leave the iron unattended with the plug in the outlet when you are ironing.
