plugs/extension cables in compliance with euro-
pean norms and/or properly set and with a groun-
ding system.
ATTENTION:
Before using the machine, please read care-
fully all the safety and operang instrucons
as described in this manual. KEEP THESE IN-
STRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
14. Any type of maintenance and/or cleaning must
be performed with the machine o, cooled and
unplugged.
15. Use only original spare parts and accessories.
16. Installaon, maintenance and repairing ope-
raons must be performed solely by qualied
personnel authorized by the manifacturer.
17. Before connecng the appliance verify that the
line voltage matches with the data wrien on the
label on the back; if you are not sure of your line
voltage, contact qualied personnel.
18. The electrical system to which the appliance
will be connected must be wired and supplied

boiler emptying/cleaning must be done at least
once a month. Before doing it, unplug the machi-
ne, let it cool and gently unscrew half-round the
security valve to remove eventual residual pres-
sure inside the boiler. When the boiler is empty
open gently the drain valve to let the residual
water get out. If no water comes out check the

6. SETTING UP
»Screw the safety cap 1, do not overghten. Be
sure that the draining tap 15 is closed.
»Connect the steam iron to the solenoid valve 2
and to the power plug 3.
»Fill in the water tank 10. Place the tank under
the boiler and insert the water hose 9 in it. The
water hose must always be immersed.
»DO NOT USE DISTILLED AND/OR DEMINERALI-
ZED WATER. THE WATER CONTROL SYSTEM DOES
NOT WORK WITH DISTILLED AND/OR DEMINERA-
LIZED WATER.
»Connect the machine to the power grid.
»Turn on the the iron switch 5 and the rst hea-
ter switch 6. If the water inside the boiler is under
the minumum level, a pump starts to load the
water from the tank.
»Turn on the second heater switch 7 to reach
the high temperature quicker and get a stronger
and longer steam jet.
»Before working, wait unl the pressure gauge 8
reaches 3atm.
7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
»Set the desidered temperature acng on the
thermostat knob 13. The temperature sengs
shown are approximate. Always test the tempera-
ture on a hidden part of the garment.
»Press the red buon on the iron handle (14) to
get steam. At the rst press, point the iron away
from the garment, in a safe direcon, and press
several mes the red buon to eliminate any con-
densaon from the iron.
»The volume of steam can be controlled turning
the ow control knob on the solenoid valve 2 (the
normal posion is half-open).
»When the the boiler is almost empty, the
pump recharges the boiler taking water from the
tank 10. When the tank is almost empty a sound
alarm is acvated: do not turn o the machine
and rell the tank. While the alarm is on, a secu-
rity system cuts o the eletrical power to turn o
the machine.
»At the end of the job turn o all the switches
and unplug the boiler. It is not necessary to pour
out the remaining water from the boiler. Empty
the boiler once a month.
8. REGULAR MAINTENANCE:
EMPTYING/CLEANING OF THE BOILER
ATTENTION: BEFORE DRAINING THE WATER
FROM THE BOILER, UNPLUG THE MACHINE AND
UNSCREW BY HALF A TURN THE SACURITY TAP
TO RELEASE THE REMAINING PRESSURE AND
HEATH FROM THE BOILER.
»Wait for the boiler to be cool and the pressure
gauge to show “0”, place a container under the
boiler and open with cauon the drain valve pla-
ced under the boiler leng the water out.
Drain tap
To carry out an extraordinary cleaning, it is possi-
ble to pour into the boiler a glass of vinegar and
water. Then shake the steam generator and empty
the boiler and rinse with only water. Do not use
