STEAM IRONING
Filling with water
SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE
• Ensure the iron is unplugged.
• Slide the steam switch
entirely to the left.
• Open the Water inlet cover.
• Hold the appliance upright
so that the Water tank stands
horizontally. Fill with water
(containing no additives) to
the "Max" water level mark
using the provided Filling cup,
and close the cover.
NOTE:
• If you need to add water
during ironing, UNPLUG the
iron and repeat the above
steps.
• Ensure the iron is fully
reheated after filling (tem-
perature indicator light turns
GREEN) before ironing.
4
1. Place the iron upright on its heel, on an even and
stable surface.
2. Insert the power cord into an electric power
socket.
3. Set the Temperature control dial according to the
type of fabric you are ironing. Check the fabric's
label for appropriate setting. For delicate fabrics, we
recommend carrying out a test on a hidden part of
the garment (inner seam).
4. The desired temperature has been reached when
the Temperature indicator light turns GREEN. The
Temperature indicator light will turn from RED to
GREEN intermittently, indicating that the selected
temperature is being maintained.
THE STEAM CONTROL SWITCH
5
1. Ensure there is water in the
Water tank.
2. Wait for the Temperature
indicator light to turn GREEN.
3. Set or turn off the continu-
ous steam output using the
Steam control switch.
NOTE: This function can be used only when the
Temperature control dial is set in the range from • • •
to MAX.
NOTE: The iron continuously emits steam only if you
hold it in a horizontal position.
You can stop the release of steam by standing the
iron on its heel or sliding the Steam control switch
entirely to the left.
ATTENTION: Do not use the steam function for silk
and synthetics so as not to damage the surface of
the fabric.
If the Temperature control dial is set to a lower
setting, to prevent potential dripping, the iron is
equipped with the ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM.
The anti-drip system automatically reduces the
volume of steam when ironing at low temperatures
to prevent dripping.
During use, the anti-drip system may emit a clicking
sound, particularly during heat up or when the iron is
cooling down. This is normal and indicates that the
anti-drip system is functioning correctly.

PurSteam irons are designed to be used with REGU-
LAR TAP WATER (up to 12 grains of hardness). If your
water is harder than this, PurSteam recommends
mixing half tap water with half distilled water, which
reduces the hardness; or just use inexpensive bottled
1. Slide the Steam control
switch entirely to the left
and turn the Temperature
control dial to MIN.
2. Disconnect the power
cord from the power socket
and allow the soleplate to
cool down.
3. Empty the Water tank into
a sink by turning the iron
upside down and gently
shaking it.
4. Roll up the power cord around the iron.
5. Always store the iron in an upright position.
1. Slide the Steam control
switch entirely to the left.
2. Set the Temperature
control dial to the desired
setting according to the type
of fabric you are ironing.
3. The iron is ready for use
when the Temperature
indicator light turns GREEN.
NOTE: We recommend dry ironing with an empty
tank to be sure there are no drips, however, dry
ironing can also be performed with water already in
the tank.
SELF CLEANING FEATURE
8
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the sole-
plate, removing scale and impurities.
We recommend using it every 10-15 days.
Instructions on how to perform the
self-cleaning:
◊ Fill the Water tank up to the maximum level and
set the Steam control switch to “0FF”.
◊Set the Temperature control dial to the maximum
and wait for the light to turn GREEN.
◊ Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron
horizontally over the sink.
◊ Hold the Self-cleaning button until all the boiling
water, steam, impurities and scale come out.
Always remember:
Water containing additives (such as starch, perfume
or fabric conditioner) may not be used. Such addi-
tives can affect the properties of the steam and, at
high temperatures, can form deposits in the steam
chamber, which will mark the laundry when they are
emitted through the steam vents. For this reason,
descaling liquids should not be used.
spring water. Never use 100% pure distilled water
since this can cause the iron to spit and leak.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
ADVICES FOR GOOD IRONING
Cleaning the soleplate
9
◊ We recommend using the lowest temperatures with
fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery,
flush, etc.).
◊ If the fabric is a blend (e.g., 40% cotton 60% synthetics),
set a lower ironing temperature.
◊ If you don't know the composition of the fabric, deter-
mine the suitable temperature by testing on a hidden
corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and
increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
◊ Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other
marks: the heat of the plate fixes the stains on the fabric,
making them irremovable.
◊ To avoid marking silk, wool, or synthetic garments, iron
them inside out.
◊ When cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with
a damp cloth and wiped dry. Never use household cleaners
or solvents.
◊ If the iron has not been used for a long time (e.g., several
weeks) the steam channels should be cleaned, and any
deposits removed from the iron. To do this, hold the iron
horizontally before you start to use it and allow it to
produce steam for about 1 minute. Also, activate the Burst
of steam button several times.
NOTE: Before cleaning the iron, make sure that it is
unplugged from the wall outlet and cooled down.
PurSteam stainless steel soleplates have excellent
non-stick properties and can be simply wiped clean when
cold.
◊ During normal use, a sticky coating may build up on the
soleplate (starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic
fibers). This can be easily removed by using quality hot iron
soleplate cleaner available at most stores.
◊ Do not use abrasive household cleaners or abrasive
cleaning pads.
◊ The soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier. To
prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp
objects (zippers, etc.). Do not place the iron on rough
surfaces, e.g., metal iron support, which may scratch the
soleplate.

DO NOT use 100% pure distilled
water, use tap water. In very
hard water areas mix half tap
water with half distilled to
reduce hardness; or use
inexpensive bottled spring
water.
Most softened water is alright,
but if you experience leaks or
spitting, change to untreated
tap water or inexpensive bottled
spring water. DO NOT use 100%
distilled water.
Move iron or gently shake.
Allow more time between each

The Temperature indicator light
will turn from RED to GREEN
intermittently, indicating that
the selected temperature is

If the iron is not hot enough, the
anti-drip system will activate
and stop the iron's steam
production. Set thermostat to
the position. Always allow
sufficient time for the iron to

DISTILLED WATER
◊ To avoid marking velvet garments, iron in one direction
(following the fiber) and do not press down on the iron.
◊ Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely
dry. For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
