Danger of electric shock!
This is an electrical appliance and may cause electric shock.
You should therefore respect the following safety warnings:
• Never touch the appliance with damp hands.
• Never use the appliance with bare or wet feet.
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cable
or the appliance itself.
• If the socket and power cable plug are incompatible, the
socket should be changed for a suitable type by a qua -
lied professional. Adapters, multiple sockets or exten -
sions should not be used.
To ll or top up with water, turn the ironing
system o using the switch, then unplug
from the mains.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or the ma-
nufacturer’s customer services in order to
avoid all risk.
Before cleaning or servicing, disconnect
the appliance by unplugging from the
mains.
During use, the pressurised apertures must
not be opened for lling, descaling, rinsing
or inspection.
• Before using the appliance, check that the mains
supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indica -
ted on the rating plate. Connect the appliance to
an eciently earthed power supply and sockets
with a minimum current rating of 10 A only.
Surfaces marked with this symbol
become hot during use (the symbol
is present in certain models only).
• Never aim the steam at persons or animals.
The user must not leave the iron unatten-
ded while connected to the mains power
supply; When power is on or when cooling
down, keep the appliance out of reach of
children under eight years old.
• During use, the steam generator should not be moved.
• IMPORTANT: the tube connecting the iron and steam
generator may become hot.
• All contact between the hot base and cables must be
rigorously avoided.
Important:
• The rst time you use the appliance, after removing the
packaging, make sure the appliance is complete and
undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and
contact qualied personnel only. Remove the protection
from the soleplate.
• Dispose of the plastic bag with care as it represents a
hazard for children.
This appliance can be used by children

be made by children without supervision.
• Use the removable iron rest on an ironing board.
• NEVER use the iron rest on a table. The heat could ruin
the surface!
• “Safe transport”: certain models are tted with a
locking system which locks the iron in position during
transport. When the iron is locked in position, it
must not be used as a carrying handle to transport
the appliance! To position the iron correctly, insert the
tip of the soleplate into the housing, rest the iron on
the iron rest and move the lock to the locking position
(g. 1).
To release the iron, move the lock to the release position
and remove the iron from the housing (g. 2).
• While ironing, you can rest the tip of the soleplate on the
heat resistant base above the housing.
The appliance must be used and rested on
a stable heat resistant surface.
When placing the iron on its stand, ensure
that the surface on which the stand is pla-
ced is stable.
• NEVER store the iron in a vertical position!
The appliance is not to be used if it has

9
been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking. If the ironing system
is dropped causing visible damage to the appliance (steam
generator or iron), do not use. Take to customer services.

Preparations for use
What water to use?
The appliance works with normal tap water.
In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest
using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water.
Never use demineralised water on its own. Never use chemi-
cal substances or detergents (e.g. perfumed water, essences,
descaling solution, etc).
Important!
Do not use mineral or other types of water (such as rainwater
or water for batteries or air conditioners etc.).
Filling the reservoir
Danger!
Make sure the power cable is unplugged from the mains so-
cket.
• Open the door of the water reservoir and ll. Never
exceed the MAX level marked on the reservoir (0.7 l).
• Plug the appliance into a mains socket.
Please note:
The rst time you use the appliance, the steam generator is
empty.
When lling the steam generator for the rst time, it will take
longer to heat up as the air must be eliminated from the ste-
am generator and replaced by the water.
During lling/heating it is normal for the pump to make a
noise.
The appliance will also run out of water much more quickly
than with subsequent lls.
Steam ironing
• Turn the appliance on by rotating the dial Gto one of the
steam positions. The light on the control panel and
light L on the iron come on.
• Wait for the (steam ready) light Ito come on and the
light Lon the iron to go o.
• To deliver steam, press the steam button M, under the
handgrip.
Please note:
• When used for the rst time, the appliance may give o
smoke and an odour for several minutes. This is caused
by heating and subsequent drying of the sealers used in
assembling the steam generator and iron.
You are recommended to ventilate the room.
• The lights Iand Lwill go on and o during ironing, according
to the temperature reached by the steam generator and iron.
This is part of normal operation and not a cause for concern.
• While ironing, it is normal to hear the water ll pump come
on and go o. This is caused by transfer of water from the re-
servoir to the steam generator.
It is part of normal operation and is not a cause for concern.
• Each time the iron is used (including for the rst time) or if
youhavenot usedsteam forseveral minutes, pressthe steam
delivery button a number of times away from the ironing bo-
ard.This will eliminate condensation from the steam circuit.
• SOME MODELS ONLY: To discharge steam continuously,
move the steam lock O backwards.

Adjusting the iron thermostat (N)
Turn the thermostat dial to set the most suitable temperature
for the type of fabric to be ironed.
For steam ironing, the temperature must
be within the steam sector shown
alongside.
Below is a brief guide to help you choose the best temperatu-
re for the type of fabric to be ironed.
lAcetate, acrylic, nylon, polyester, rayon
l l Silk, wool
l l l Linen, cotton
Steam regulator
The steam regulator dial G enables the quantity of steam to
be increased or decreased according to the fabric being iro-
ned.
1. Ideal for garments requiring little steam.
2. Ideal for good quality ironing with maximum energy
and water savings.
3. Ideal for top quality ironing with energy and water sa-
vings.
4. Ideal for dicult-to-iron garments or creases.
When you turn the iron on, you are recommended to turn the
steam regulator dial to the maximum steam position.
Topping up the water in the reservoir
When the water runs out, the light comes on.
When the light comes on, you must top up the water in the
reservoir as rapidly as possible, following the procedure for
lling the reservoir.
This enables you to continue ironing without interruption.
If you delay topping up the water and the steam generator
cools down, the system no longer emits steam and when the
reservoir is lled again, the appliance functions as though
turned on for the rst time.
In other words, 5 minutes will elapse before the steam is rea-
dy and during those 5 minutes you will hear the pump ll 4 or
5 times for about 30 seconds.
After this period of stabilisation, the steam generator will
start working normally, periodically lling with water.
When the “no water” light comes on, you should not
continue steam ironing with the pump vibrating.
If this practice is continued, in the long run it could
irreparably damage internal components.
When the water in the reservoir has run out, the pump be-
comes noisier.
This is part of normal operation and is not a cause for concern.
However, as described above, you should immediately top up
the water in the reservoir.
Dry ironing
To dry iron, turn the thermostat dial on the iron to select the
temperature most suitable for the garments to be ironed,
then iron without pressing the steam button.
Maintenance
Rinsing the steam generator
To optimise operation, maintain constant steam production
over time and save energy, rinse the steam generator with
water after every 10 ironing sessions. Proceed as follows:
• Make sure the appliance is turned o, unplugged from
the mains and completely cold.
• Empty the water reservoir by turning the appliance
upside down over a sink (g. 3).
• Turn the protective cap Bon the side of the appliance
clockwise and remove (g. 4).
• Use a coin or screwdriver to unscrew the steam genera-
tor cap (g. 5).
• Eliminate the water in the steam generator (g. 6);
• Rest the appliance on its side (g. 7) and ll with a ma-
ximum of 0.7 litres of water using a funnel to avoid the
water spilling outside the steam generator.
• Shake the appliance to rinse the entire steam generator,
then throw the water away.
• Repeat the rinse procedure.
• Screw the cap back on, making sure it closes the steam
generator eciently.
• Replace the protective cap B.
Before resuming ironing, discharge steam into the air for
a few seconds to completely eliminate any residues from
the internal circuits.
Cleaning
• The surface of the soleplate must be kept clean.To clean,
just wipe the cold surface with a damp cloth.
• The iron must never be treated with descaling products.
After ironing
After nishing ironing, you should put the ironing system
away with the door tightly closed to avoid dust and foreign
bodies falling into the reservoir and possibly jeopardising
operation of the pump.

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The appliance does not come on. The appliance is not plugged into a mains
socket.
Make sure the appliance is correctly connected
and press the iron and steam generator ON
buttons.
Steam leaks from the reservoir. The maximum pressure safety system has
tripped.
Turn the appliance o immediately and con-
tact the manufacturer’s customer services.
Water leaks from the holes in the bottom of
the soleplate.

soleplate.
Chemical water softeners or additives have
been poured into the water reservoir or steam
generator.
Never pour products into the water reservoir
(see our tips in the quick guide). Clean the
soleplate with a damp cloth.
The rst time the appliance is turned on, you
notice smoke
Some parts have been treated with sealer/
lubricant which evaporates the rst time the
iron heats up.
This is normal and will stop when you have
used the iron a few times.
The appliance emits an intermittent noise
associated with vibrations.
Water is being pumped into the steam gene-
rator.
This is completely normal.
The appliance emits a continuous noise
associated with vibrations.
Unplug the system from the mains and contact
the manufacturer’s customer services.
