cking system which locks the iron in position during tran-
sport. 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 plate into the housing, rest the iron in position and
move the lock to the locking position .

eand remove the iron from its housing.While iro-
ning, you can rest the tip of the iron on the heat resistant
base above the housing.

Designated use
• Thisappliancemustbeusedexclusivelyforthepurpose
for which it was expressly conceived. Any other use is con-
sidered improper and thus dangerous.
• Themanufacturerisnotliablefordamagecausedbyinap-
propriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for damage re-
sulting from repairs carried out by unqualied personnel.
What water to use
This ironing system has a resin limescale lter installed in the
tank, allowing you to use ordinary tap water.
The resins reduce water hardness, prolonging the working life
of the appliance.
Never use chemical substances or detergents (e.g.
perfumed water, essences, descaling solution, etc).
Donotusemineralorothertypesofwater(suchasrain-
water or water for batteries or air conditioners etc.).
Important!
If you use ltering devices, make sure the water obtained has
a neutral pH.
Using for the rst time: If the light , comes on when
you have lled the iron, press OK to conrm lling of the tank.
If the light comes on again, ll again and conrm by pressing
the OK button.

water savings.
3. Ideal for top quality ironing with energy and water savin-
gs.
4. Ideal for dicult-to-iron garments or creases.
Eciency of the limescale lter
When the lter light comes on, the limescale lter must
be regenerated or replaced.
Regenerating the limescale lter: see instructions on page. 6.
Replacing the limescale lter: limescale lters are availa-
ble from customer services. Remove the exhausted lter and
insert the new one.
Please note:
• Regenerating the resin lter guarantees its long term e-
ciency. However, after 5 years of use, it should be replaced.
• Theappliancecannotbeusedwithoutthelimescalelter
inserted correctly.
• If you do not regenerate the limescale lter, you are recom-
mended to turn the water hardness regulator to position
4 and rinse the steam generator whenever the lter light
comes on .
