IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
When using your new iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water
or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to «Off» before plugging or unplugging
from an outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet. Instead,
grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely
before putting away. Loop cord loosely around the iron when storing.
5. It is always recommended to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet
when filling with water or emptying. It should also be disconnected when
not in use.
6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped
or damaged. To avoid the risk of an electric shock, do not disassemble the
iron. Take it to a qualified service depot for examination and repair. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave the iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use
caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in
the reservoir.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-amp cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE
PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

ATTENTION: Ironing delicate garments with a temperature higher than necessary
is harmful for the fabric and causes burnt residue to get stuck to the soleplate.

iron by the handle and pass the sole over the garment to be ironed.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The V50 has 4 temperature settings, which can be selected by pressing the
temperature selector (3).
Press the temperature selector (3) as many times as required until the desired
temperaturelevelisreached(g.2).Position(•)(g.2-A)Position(••)(g.2-B)

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
The Velocity V50 has an automatic shut-off system. It is shut-off automatically
eight minutes after the last time it was used. This means that once the shut-
off device is activated, it ceases to heat and begins to cool down. To wake it up
again, press the temperature button (3) for at least one second.
The auto-shut off mode can be manually selected by pressing the temperature
button for three seconds, and wake it up again by pushing the same button for
more than one second.

STEAM READY FEATURE
For those who want to leave their iron on for periods longer than 8 minutes at
a time (without the automatic shut off system activating) the Velocity V50 has a
STEAMREADYfeaturethatallowstheirontostayonindenitely.
To activate this feature, simply keep one of the two steam activation buttons (4)
Fig 3 held for 8 seconds.
AfterholdingtheSteamButtonfor8seconds,theLEDswillash3timesindicating
that the auto shut off has been deactivated.
To activate the auto shut off again, the V50 needs to be unplugged and then
plugged in again.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR IRON UNATTENDED WHILE THE STEAM READY FEATURE IS ACTIVATED.
IRONING RECOMMENDATIONS
STEAM IRONING
Operation of this model is similar to that of a professional ironing unit. It allows
forironingfromlevel1,theminimumtemperature(•)withoutspitting,drippingor
leaking. The steam flow provided by the compact vapor generator is 30 g/min.
It is recommended to first steam iron and then do a second dry-iron pass to ensure
that the clothing is completely dry to obtain truly professional ironing results.
To iron without steam, simply do NOT press either of the steam buttons (4). It is NOT
necessary to empty the water tank.
To stop the steam, gently press one of the two steam buttons one more time. The
steam will now stop until one of the two buttons is gently pressed again.
VERTICAL IRONING
• Gentlypressoneofthesteambuttonsoncetostartsteaming(tostop
steaming, press a steam button again).
• Itenablesyoutoremovecreasesfromdelicategarmentswithouthavingto
lay them on the ironing board: jackets, coats, curtains, synthetics, etc.
• Placethegarmentonahanger,awayfromothergarments(&persons).

is maintained, it will be harder for you to see.

08
FILLING WITH WATER
If during ironing the tank runs dry, after 30 seconds the operation/temperature
LEDs (5) of all the levels will start to flash. If the V50 is used without water for a
period of one minute, the micro-pump will stop.
Disconnect the iron, keep it in an upright postion and refill the tank using the cup
(6) that comes with it Fig 1. Plug the iron in again.
Once the V50 is plugged in, only the LED of the selected operation/temperature (5)
will light up.
NOTE: If the user fills the V50 without having it unplugged first, the LEDs will
continue blinking until the user presses the steam activation button (4) and the iron
steams for approximately 15 seconds.
ANTI-SCALE SYSTEM
This iron is equipped with a permanent anti-scale cartridge system installed
internallyintheiron.Itassistsinkeepingtheinternaltankclean.Howeveritis
strongly recommended that you use the best water that is available to you as
outlined earlier in this manual.
