Before ironing a garment, it is always advisable to check the symbols
and instructions on the label provided by the garment manufacturer.
Check which kind of ironing is recommended, referring to the table
below:
STEAM IRONING
• Set the iron temperature on “COTTON - LINEN” steam position
(fig. 3), by turning the control knob (7).
• Wait for both the steam pressure indicator light (5) and the “iron
heating” indicator light (11) to go off (about 3 minutes). Push the
steam request button (10) on the iron to release steam from the
holes on the soleplate. Release the button and the steam flow
stops.
NOTE: at the first request of steam, a few drops of water mixed
with steam may come out of the soleplate until the temperature sta-
bilizes. It is advisable to direct the first jets of steam onto an old
cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is obtained.
• In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (12) for-
wards. Steam will keep on coming out, even if you release the but-
ton. To interrupt the steam flow, move the button (12) backwards
(fig.4).
• By turning the steam flow control knob (6) you can vary the quan-
tity of steam according to the kind of textiles to be ironed (more or
less delicate). You can increase the steam flow by turning the knob
in clockwise direction. Turning it in an anticlockwise direction
reduces the steam flow (fig. 5). We suggest the maximum emission
for heavy textiles like jeans and linen, medium for cotton, minimum
for light delicate textiles.
DRY IRONING:
• For DRY ironing (without steam), set the iron temperature by turn-
ing the control knob (7) on the position required for the fabric, as
shown on the same knob. When dry ironing, be careful NOT TO
PRESS THE STEAM REQUEST BUTTON (10) on the iron, other-
wise water may leak from the soleplate.
NOTE:
• Both (5) and (11) indicator lights go on and off during operation;
this is quite normal and means that the electric resistances are
operating to maintain the system at a constant temperature.
• If no steam is released from the iron, check that the steam pres-
sure light (5) is off.

If the water filter (4) becomes dirty, proceed as described below:
• Remove the tank cap (1).
• Remove the water filter (4) (fig. 6) from its place and clean it under
running water.
• Put the filter (4) back in its place and reclose the tank cap.

It is necessary to fill up the tank with water before it becomes empty.
If no steam comes out when pressing the steam request button, this
means that there is no more water in the tank.
To keep on working, simply restore the water level in the self-refilling
tank as described in the “Preparation for use” paragraph.
