The iron surface must always be kept in an upright position.
To turn off, turn the temperature regulator counter-clockwise to “OFF” and pull out the power plug.
Turn the appliance upside down and carefully pour the remaining water out of the water tank. Carefully shake
the appliance.
Press the spray button to allow possible remaining water to come out more easily.
Notice: With conventional steam ironing, water may leak from the soleplate if a too low temperature has been
selected. If this happens, turn the temperature regulator to the advised position. Steam will recommence as
soon as the appropriate temperature has been reached.
SELF-CLEAN FUNCTION
You can use the self-clean function to remove scale and impurities.
The self-clean function should be used at least once per month.
If the water is very hard in your area, use the self-clean function every two weeks.
Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
Set the steam control knob to position “O”.
Fill the water tank to maximum level.
Select the maximum ironing temperature.
Put the plug in the wall socket.
Unplug the iron when the temperature indicator light goes off.
Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the self-clean button and gently shake the iron to and fro. (Steam
and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) will be flushed out).
Release the self-clean button as soon as all water in the tank has been used up.
Repeat the self-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the iron ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has completely cooled down.
Deposits on the soleplate may be removed with a rough cloth soaked in a vinegar water solution.
The casting may be wiped with a damp cloth and then polished with a dry one.
Do not use abrasives on the soleplate.
Keep the soleplate smooth. Avoid hard contact with metal objects.
TIPS
Which type of water to use?
Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, it’s possible
to mix untreated tap water with store bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportion: 50%
tap water / 50% distilled water.
Which type of water not to use?
The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining,
or leakage: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, and water from air conditioners.
If problems occur?
Water drips from the holes in the
soleplate.
The chosen temperature is
too low and does not allow
for the formation of steam.
Position the thermostat to the
maximum temperature setting.
You are using steam while
the iron is not hot enough.
Wait until the control light goes
out.
You have stored the iron
horizontal, without
emptying it and without
switching off the steam
function.
Empty the iron after each use,
and store it vertical.
