Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency) corresponding
to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance, and that the wall socket is
properly grounded.
Avoid the use of adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary, use only
materials in compliance with the current safety regulations and according to the electrical
parameters of the adapters.
The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote control
appliances which are not specified in this manual.
Only use original components & accessories provided by the manufacturer. Any non-original

The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out of the reach
of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources of danger.
Location
This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame, ovens,
heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence of flammable
substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions when, after ignition,
the combustion is spread in the air). Items containing these substances should never be
placed in the appliance, and never be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of
fire or explosion.
The appliance should be placed on an ironing board, which is covered by fabric made

(First use)
• Clean the iron by ironing an old rag, as oil or grease from the manufacture and assembly
of the components may be present, which could cause discolouration of fabric. The oil or
grease should be burnt off after a short while, and some smoke may be emitted.
This is normal.
• Fill the Water Tank with water before using the Spraying button & the Burst Steam button.
Ensure that the exterior of the iron is completely dry before use.

obstruct totally nor partially the Soleplate;
insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;
place the appliance and heat it by any other means, e.g. in a microwave, oven or on a frying
pan filled with water and placed directly on a gas stove, as the plastic components can be
deformed as a result;
leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.
ensure that the iron is correctly positioned while being used;
DO NOT fill the Water Tank with hot water;
DO NOT fill water beyond the maximum volume indicated;
DO NOT iron or steam fabrics while they are still attached to the body;

Switch off the iron and unplug the power cable from the electric mains.
Set the Temperature Regulating Knob to the ‘0’ position and the Steam Button locked in the
DOWN position.
Position the iron vertically resting on the Heel Rest on a horizontal, stable and heat-resistant
surface. Use a clean measuring cup and pour water into the Water Filler to the‘MAX’ line of
the Water Tank.
DO NOT overfill or use water containing additives, scented water, mineral water, etc. Use only
tap water or distilled water.
The water level can be observed through the transparent part of the Water Tank. During the
course of operation, refill the tank (following the procedure outlined in steps 1 – 3) if the
water level becomes low.
Set the Temperature Regulating Knob to 0 and the Steam Button locked in the DOWN position.
Position the iron vertically resting on the Heel Rest on a horizontal, stable and heat-resistant
surface.
Plug the power cable into the electric socket and switch it ON.
Set the Temperature Regulating Knob to the appropriate setting (up to 4) for your fabric. The
Indicator Light comes on. The process of preheating the iron has commenced.
Wait for the Indicator Light to go off, indicating that the selected temperature has been
reached and you can start ironing fabrics which require low temperature ironing. The light
will cycle on an off during ironing.
When you are ready to proceed with fabrics which require progressively higher temperatures,
select a higher temperature setting, position the iron vertically 90 The Indicator Light comes
on. Wait for the Indicator Light to go off, and you can start ironing fabrics which require
higher temperature ironing.

Always iron clothes which require lower temperatures first, and work your way to higher
temperatures. Never the other way around as thermally-sensitive fabrics will be ruined by
higher temperatures. In addition, the iron gets hot faster than it cools.
Ensure that the water is filled to the ‘MAX’line of the Water Tank.
Set the Temperature Regulating Knob to the ‘0’ position.
Position the iron vertically resting on the Heel Rest on a horizontal, stable and heat-resistant
surface.
Plug the power cable into the electric socket and switch it ON.
Set the Temperature Regulating Knob between 5 – 7 and the Steam Button unlocked in the
UP position. The Indicator Light comes on. The process of preheating the iron has commenced.
Wait for the Indicator Light to go off, indicating that the selected temperature has been
reached and you can start ironing fabrics which require lower temperature ironing. The light
will cycle on an off during ironing.
When you are ready to proceed with fabrics which require progressively higher temperatures,
select a higher temperature setting, position the iron vertically 90 The Indicator Light comes
on. Wait for the Indicator Light to go off, and you can start ironing fabrics which require higher
temperature ironing.
Always iron clothes which require lower temperatures first, and work your way to higher
temperatures. Never the other way around as thermally-sensitive fabrics will be ruined by
higher temperatures. In addition, the iron gets hot faster than it cools.
Note: the iron gives off steam continuously only if held horizontally with the Steam Button
unlocked in the UP position. You can stop the continuous flow of steam by placing the iron in
a vertical position, by moving the control dial to 0 or having the Steam Button locked in the
DOWN position.. You can only use steam at the highest temperatures (5 – 7, otherwise water
may drip onto the plate.

Once you have finished ironing, place iron on the Heel Rest, turn temperature selector to OFF
and unplug the iron. Set the Temperature Regulating Knob to 0 and the Steam Button locked
in the DOWN position
Wait until the iron has cooled down completely.
Pour out the remaining water after use by pointing the tip of the iron downwards and
inverting the iron. DO NOT store the iron with water still inside the Water Tank.
Wipe the exterior of the iron using a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Remove stubborn spots with
a cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent. DO NOT use abrasive scouring pads or powders.
Never let steam iron cleaners come into contact with the working parts of the iron.
Soleplate: Starch and other residues may be easily removed from the Soleplate with a damp
cloth with a vinegar-water solution.
To avoid scratching the finishing, never use a metallic pad to clean the Soleplate, and never
place the iron horizontally over a rough surface.
If synthetic fabrics are ironed at too high temperatures, not only is the fabric usually ruined
but the Soleplate is often covered with the melted remains of the synthetic fabric.
The best way to remove synthetic fabric residue from the Soleplate is to heat the iron and to
iron over an old cotton rag repeatedly.
Store the iron in a vertical position.
HOW TO CLEAN
Anti-Drip Function
Below a certain temperature (Temperature setting 5 on the Temperature Regulator knob), the
anti-drip function cuts off the flow of water to the Soleplate and stops the water from dripping
out of the appliance.
Overheat Safety Protection
In the case where the installed thermostat malfunctions, the power supply will stop
automatically to prevent the steam iron from overheating. In this case, the steam iron has to be
repaired by the service point.
