Use and care:
•Fully unroll the appliance’s power cable before
each use.
•Do not adjust the temperature control dial past

abled.
•This appliance should be stored out of reach of
children and/or the disabled.
•Do not store the appliance if it is still hot.
•Only use water in the appliance.
•It is advisable to use distilled water, especially if the
water in your area contains clay or if it is “hard”
(containing lime or magnesium).
•The minimum “MIN” setting does not mean that
the iron is switched off.
•Do not use the appliance on any body part of a
person or animal.
•Any misuse or failure to follow the instructions for
use renders the guarantee and the manufacturer’s
liability null and void.
Instructions for use:
Before use:
Make sure that all the product’s packaging has
been removed.
Fill the water tank (Fig 1):
•The water tank must be filled with water in order for
the steam function to work.
•Open the lid of the filling mouth.
•Fill the water tank with cold water taking care not
to fill past the “MAX” level.
•Close the lid of the mouth.
Use:
•Unroll the power cable completely before inserting
the plug into the wall socket.
•Connect the appliance to the wall socket.
•The pilot light (D) will illuminate.
•Turn the adjustable control dial to the desired tem-
perature position.
•Do not use temperatures higher than those indi-
cated on the garments to be treated.
*Temperature for synthetic fibres.
** Temperature for silk and wool.
*** Temperature for cotton (minimum
temperature for ironing with steam).
Max Temperature for linen.
•Wait until the pilot light (D) has switched off, this
will indicate that the appliance has reached the
desired temperature.
•During use the pilot light (D) will switch on and off
automatically, which indicates that the elements
are working and that the desired temperature is
being maintained.
Dry ironing:
• Put the dry / steam ironing button (F) into the dry
position (Fig. 2).
•This position is for dry ironing (without steam).

•Put the dry / steam ironing button (F) into the
steam position (Fig. 3).
•It is only possible to iron with steam when the wa-
ter tank has water inside and the correct tempera-
23002_IM.indd 3 2013/04/16 11:54:29 AM

ture setting is selected.
Once you have nished using the appliance:
• Select the minimum position “MIN” using the tem-
perature control dial.
•Unplug the appliance from the wall socket.
•Empty the water tank.
•Clean the appliance.
Practical recommendations:
• Classify the garments into groups by ironing tem-
perature. The appliance heats up quicker than it
cools down. Therefore, to avoid accidents, mini-
mise energy consumption and optimise time. It is
advisable to start off ironing items that require low-
er temperatures and progress to those that need
higher temperatures.
•Pure wool fabrics (100%) can be ironed with the
iron set to steam. Select a high steam temperature
and place a cotton cloth between the iron’s metal
surface and the garment.
Cleaning
•Disconnect the appliance from the wall socket
and allow it to cool before undertaking any clean-
ing task.
•Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a few
drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
•Do not use solvents or products with acid or base
pH such as bleach or abrasive products for clean-
ing the appliance.
•Never submerge the appliance in water or any
other liquid or place it under running water.
How to deal with lime scale incrustations:
• For the appliance to work correctly it should be
kept free of lime scale or magnesium incrustations
caused by the use of hard water.
•To avoid this kind of problem it is advisable to use
distilled water.
•However, if it is not possible to use the kind of wa-
ter recommended above, you should periodically
remove the lime scale from the appliance:
•Every 6 weeks if the water is “very hard”.
•Every 12 weeks if the water is “hard”.
•Homemade solutions are not recommended in
the descaling of this appliance, such as the use
of vinegar.
