RECOMMENDATIONS
DO’S
1. Check that the main voltage stated on the rating plate corresponds to the local
electricity supply.
2. Unwind and straighten the power cord and supply cord before use.
3. Place the appliance on a firm and steady surface.
4. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface
5. Avoid the power cord or steam hose touching the soleplate.
6. Insert the anti-cal cartridge before use.
7. The plug of the power cord must be removed from the electrical outlet before the
water reservoir is filled with water
8. Keep the anti-cal cartridge and granules away from children at all times.
9. Keep electrical appliances out of reach of children. Do not let them use the appli-
ances without supervision.
10. When placing the appliance on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand
is placed is stable.
11. If the power cord or supply cord is damaged, the manufacturer, its service agent or a
similarly qualified person must replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
12. Empty the water tank after use.
13. Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
14. This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or persons that lack experience
and knowledge if they are being supervised and instructed in the use of the appli-
ance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
15. Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years of age when it is
on or cooling down.
16. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unpligging the iron from the electri-
cal outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet;
instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
17. Always diconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water,
emptying the water from the iron and when the iron is not in use.
18. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when you trun a STEAM IRON upside down - there might be hot water in the
reservoir.
19. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to
or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less
amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overtheating. Care shall
be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pullde or be tripped over.

PROGRAMMED TEMPERATURE
Auto Mode
The appliance is equipped with a programmed temperature feature which allows it
to iron all ironable fabrics without adjusting the temperature of the iron. It is the
default mode of this appliance.
The ECO indicator will light up when the lowest temperature is being used.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
The appliance has different temperature settings for different kinds of fabrics.
Press the function button to turn on the appliance. The appliance will start in auto
mode. If you want to switch to another ironing temperature, press the function key
and the temperature display will loop through the following sequence:
‘auto mode’ -> ‘Dot 1’ -> ‘Dot 2’ -> ‘Dot 3’ - > ‘Dot 4’ -> ‘Max’
IMPORTANT” Before starting to iron, read the garment labels and follow the
manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example,
Polyester, Silk, Viscose, Wool, Cotton and Linen.
Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable, for exam-
ple, Polypropylene, Elastane and Acrylic Fabric.

AUTO STEAM FUNCTION
The appliance will automatically adjust the steam output to the selected tempera-
ture. The function provides the right amount of steam for each temperature to
achieve the best results.

Press the function button to turn on the appliance and
select your desired temperature. Beeping sounds will be
heard when the function button is pressed.
Depending on the temperature setting you selected, the
corresponding temperature symbol on the control panel
will be flashing. When the iron is ready for use, the tem-
perature symbol will stop flashing and remain on..
Important note: The first time you use the iron, the
pump will take a few seconds to generate steam. During
this time, you may hear a “pumping” sound. This is
normal and will occur before the iron is ready to use.
Steam ironing is available for all temperature settings
except ‘Dot 1’. You can press and hold the steam trigger
to generate steam for steam ironing. A beep will be heard
when the steam trigger is pressed and the respective
steam indicator for ‘Auto Mode’, ‘Dot 2’, ‘Dot 3’ and ‘Max’
will flash, indicating it is generating steam. Release the
steam trigger to stop generating steam.
Adjust the temperature setting of the appliance by
pressing the function button.
After use, press and hold the function button for 2 sec-
onds to turn off the appliance.
It is recommended to drain the water inside the water
tank after every use. See ‘”Draining the water tank”
instructions.

VERTICAL STEAMING
You can remove wrinkles from garments, curtains
and fabrics in hanging positions.
1. Select your desired steam temperature
setting.
2. Hold the iron in a vertical position (Figure 7)
15 to 30 centimeters away from the garment.
3. Press the steam trigger.
Warning: Do not apply steam to clothes or fabrics
that are being worn by humans or pets. The tem-
perature of the steam is very high. FIGURE 7
SAFETY AUTO SHUT-OFF
FUNCTION
The auto shut-off function will operate automati-
cally when the iron is immobile or the function
button or steam trigger have not been pressed for
10 minutes.
1. A beep will be heard and the auto shut-off
indicator will be flashing (Figure 8) to indicate
the appliance is in auto shut-off mode.
2. To reactivate the iron, simply move it or press
the function button or steam trigger. The
control panel will start heating up and return
to its previous temperature setting. It may take
about 60 seconds for the iron to be ready for
use.
Note: The appliance is not switched completely
when it is in auto shut-off mode. Press and hold the
function button to turn the appliance off complete-
ly, and unplug from the main power supply outlet.

for 5 minutes (Figure 13) before first use for better
performance.
4. Press to release the cartridge from the appliance (you
will hear a beep) and pull out the old cartridge from the
appliance (Figure 14). Caution: The cartridge can be very
hot due to the heat from the soleplate. Make sure the
cartridge has cooled down before pressing it.
5. Insert the new anti-scale cartridge (Figure 15) FIGURE 12
FIGURE 13 FIGURE 14 FIGURE 15

Note: If the anti-scale cartridge is not installed, or installed
incorrectly, you will not be able to use the appliance and the
anti-scale cartridge indicator will be flashing.
FIGURE 16
SELF CLEANING
This function removes the scale and mineral build-up from the
steam chamber. The appliance will remain in the best condi-
tion if this function is performed at least once a month or
more often, depending on the hardness of water used.
1. When the self-clean indicator lights up with a beep, it
indicates that the appliance needs to undergo a self-
cleaning (Figure 17).
2. Fill the water tank to the max level (See ‘FILLING THE
WATER TANK’) and plug in the appliance.

cleaning is confirmed, you will not be able to terminate it
until the process is completed).
5. Hold the iron about 15 centimeters above the sink in
the ironing position. Loose material and water will come
out through the steam holes (Figure 18). The appliance
will resume the previous ironing setting when this is
complete.
6. Iron with a damp cloth to remove any deposits on the
soleplate. Remove any water stains that may have
formed on the soleplate.
7. Press and hold the function button to turn the appliance
off and unplug from the main power supply outlet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Disconnect the power cord from the main power supply.
2. Use a damp cloth to remove deposits from the soleplate and exterior parts of
the iron.
3. Never use sharp or rough objects to remove deposits from the sole plate.
STORAGE
1. Make sure the water is completely drained from the water tank
2. Place the iron unit on the base.
3. Turn the carry lock to the lock position.
4. You can carry the appliance with one hand by the handle of the iron unit when
the iron is locked on the base.
IRONING TIPS
1. Sort out articles to be ironed according to types of fabric. This will minimize the
frequency of temperature adjustments.
2. Test iron a small area on the backside or inside the garment if you are unsure
about the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and increase gradually.
3. Wait 2 minutes between temperature adjustments while ironing heat sensitive
fabrics.
