1. Use your appliance only for ironing.
2.
This appliance is an electrical appliance. Some of its
parts get very hot during use. Any contact with these
parts can therefore cause serious burns.
3. To undo the outlet screw, wait until the generator is
cold and has been unplugged for over 2 hours.
4. Never iron clothes while you are wearing them.
5. Keep children and infirm persons away from the
appliance. The appliance must be stored out of their
reach when not in use. Under no circumstances
should the appliance be left unattended when still
plugged-in.
6. Turn off the steam and iron switches before plug-
ging in or unplugging the appliance, when filling or
emptying the generator, as well as before any mainte-
nance.
7. The appliance and both electric and steam supply
cords must be used only when in perfect condition.
8. To prevent any danger of electric shock, you must
under no circumstances open the appliance yourself
or change the power cord. In case of damage or
doubt, the appliance should be immediately returned
to the approved after-sales service.
9. This electrical appliance can cause serious elec-
tric shocks if brought into contact with water or any
other liquid.
10. Do not unplug your appliance by pulling the elec-
tric cord. Instead, firmly grip the plug and pull it out of
the socket.
11. The electric and steam supply cords must not
come into contact with hot surfaces.
12. Always place the iron on its stand. Make sure that
nobody touches the stand for iron while you are iron-
ing or shortly after you have ironed, as it becomes
very hot.
Safety measures
Please read the following safety measures carefully and
keep them along with the operating instructions of your

Getting ready to iron
English
What sort of water?
Refilling
When the buzzer goes off or when the red water-end indicator light comes on, the tank must be
refilled. The water tank can be filled at any time without the steam generator having to cool down
beforehand.
WARNING
Always fill the water tank before starting to iron and make sure that no foreign body is inserted.
Heating the tank when it is empty invalidates the guarantee on your steam station.
Unplugged appliance
•Place the generator on a flat,
stable surface, eg. the gene-
rator stand of an ironing
board.
•Do not place the generator
on a wooden or soft surface
(eg. chair, wooden furniture,
table).
•Fit the water tank into its casing by pressing
and turning it a quarter of a turn.
Make sure that the water tank is dry on the
outside.
•Fill the water tank and make sure that you do
not wet the outer surface. Otherwise, wipe it
before putting it back in its casing.
Getting started
•Place the iron on the stand for iron.
•Insert the plug in the wall socket.
To avoid electric shock make sure that you push the mains plug into a grounded wall socket.
•Check that the indicator light of the iron is also on before ironing.
•Turn on the 2 switches and wait for the green steam light indicator to come on (around 3 minutes)
before starting to iron.
Note: when the appliance is turned on, half the contents of the water tank will be automatically pumped
towards the generator. The noise of the pump that you hear is normal.
Make sure that the casing of the water tank is kept dry and clean.
Please refer to the last two pages of the manual.
Water hardness test included.
Steamup Anglais 10.11.2003 15:19 Page 2

Setting of the iron temperature
Steam button
Before starting to iron or after lengthy ironing interruption, press the steam button 2 or 3 times to evacu-
ate any water which may have condensed in the steam tube.
ATTENTION: After a change of setting it takes about 2 mins for the new temperature to stabilize!
If the iron spurts water, slightly increase the temperature.
3
Using the Softpressing soleplate.
CAUTION: Make sure the Softpressing soleplate does not touch mohair, cachemir, velvet and angora!
Iron these materials at a distance.
The Softpressing soleplate must be used for dark materials that are likely to become shiny and synthetic
materials that might stick to the soleplate.
To use the Softpressing soleplate:
1. Insert the tip of the iron into the front of the Softpressing soleplate while keeping the back of the iron
raised
2. Pull the tongue backwards as shown in the diagram. The tongue should not fall back.
Wait for about 2 minutes for the Softpressing soleplate to reach the same temperature as the iron.
General guidance
Hints on usage
To improve the quality of ironing and increase the autonomy of your appliance, steam iron the material first
and then re-iron it without steam, in order to dry the material.
Do not forget to remove the Softpressing soleplate after use.
Caution, the soleplate is very hot.

•Hang the garment on a coat hanger or hold it up.
•With a sweeping movement from top to bottom lightly touch the material while giving short bursts of
steam.

Storing your appliance
Never store your appliance without following these instructions.
•Switch off the switches.
•Switch off the iron and wait for the iron to cool down.
•The remaining water can stay in the tank for later use. However, it is recommended that you empty the
tank if the iron has not been used over a prolonged period of time (eg. for several weeks, during your
holidays, etc…).
•You can store your steam station in its position for use, with the iron on the stand for iron.
CAUTION
•Do not store your appliance until it has cooled down.
•Handling the appliance and equipment while still hot can cause severe burns and dam-
age nearby objects.
•Before any maintenance, check that the appliance has been switched off and is cold to avoid any dan-
ger of burns or electrocution.
•Never immerse the iron or generator in running water from the tap.
•Never use descaling agents or any other chemical products as they could damage your appliance.
soleplate: If the soleplate is dirty, use our polyfer cleaning cloth which you can obtain from your supplier,
making sure you follow the written instructions. Clean the soleplate more often if you use starch when iron-
ing (even if the starch deposit is not visible).
Generator and water tank: Remove dust or other dirt on the appliance from time to time using a soft, damp
cloth. Wash the water tank regularly and descale it if necessary. Wipe the external surface thoroughly
before putting it back into its casing.
Maintenance
To prolong the efficiency of the steam generator and avoid calcium deposits you must rinse the steam ge-
nerator every 20 hours of use. To avoid the danger of burns or electric shock when you rinse out the steam
generator make sure the iron is cold and the mains plug is removed from the wall socket.
Rinsing the generator
Note: when the appliance is turned on, half of the contents of the water tank will be automatically
pumped towards the generator. The sound of the pump that you hear is normal.
•Check that the appliance is cold and has been unplugged for over 2 hours.
•Take the iron off the stand for iron.
•Remove the water tank.
•Turn over the generator and uncap the protective cover.
•Unscrew the outlet screw using a coin.
•Rinse it using circular movements.
•Empty the generator completely by turning it upside down.
•Clean the outlet screw.
•Make sure that the joint is not faulty, if this is the case, change it (see after customer services address
and telephone number at the end of this booklet).
•Clean the opening of the generator.
•Turn the screw as far as it will go – check that the joint is on the outlet screw.
•Turn the generator over and replace the protective cover.
