BEFORE FIRST USE
• It is normal for small amount of smoke to be produced the first
time, this will quickly disappear.
• When using the steam function for the first time, do not direct
the steam towards the laundry, as there could be debris from the
steam vents.
FILLING WITH WATER
• We recommend the use of distilled water.
• Make sure that both the Steam Control turning Knob and Tem-
perature Control Dial are in “OFF” position.
• Hold the iron upright so that the water-filling inlet is in a horizon-
tal position.
• Fill with water through Water Filling Inlet until the water reach
the “MAS” mark indicated on the side of the iron, and never fill
above this mark.
SETTING TEMPERATURE
Follow the ironing instructions on the garment label. If there is no
instruction then consult the following table.
Note: If the fabric consists of different threads, always select the
temperature required for the most delicate material.
Fabric Temperature con-
trol
Temperature require-
ment
Synthetic • Low temperature
Silk, wool •• Medium temperature
Cotton, linen ••• High temperature
STEAM IRONING
• Place the iron in a vertical position and set the temperature con-

7
ENGLISH
trol dial at the minimum/low heat setting.
• Insert the plug into the socket, and then turn the temperature
control dial to the “high heat” marking. The pilot light will come
on, indicating that the iron is heating up.
• When the pilot light turns off, the set temperature has been
reached and the iron is ready to use.
• During ironing, the pilot light on the iron automatically switches
on/off as the thermostat maintains the set temperature (you may
continue ironing during this process).
• Turn the steam control turning knob to the required position.
• Steam is produced as soon as the iron in held horizontally.
SPRAYING
Press the spray button to spray water on clothes, as often as
required.
Note: When using the water spray function, ensure that there is
enough water in the water tank, and you may have to pump the
spray button several times at first time you use the iron in order to
start the spraying function.
BURST OR VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
• Press the burst of Steam button to generate a powerful burst of
steam that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most dif-
ficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing
again.
• By pressing the Burst of Steam Button at intervals you can also
iron vertically (curtains, hung garments, etc.)
Note: The burst steam function can only be used at high tem-
perature. Stop the emission when the pilot light turns on and start
ironing again only after the pilot light has turned off.

ENGLISH
DRY IRONING
For ironing without steam, follow the instruction in section
“steam ironing”, however, the steam control turning knob
should remain in position “O” (no steam).
ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special filter inside the water tank softens the water and pre-
vents scale build-up in the soleplate. The filter is permanent
and does not need replacing.
Note: Use tap water only. Distilled and demineralized water
makes the anti-calc system ineffective by altering its physico-
chemical characteristics.
ANTI-DRIPPING SYSTEM
This iron is equipped with drip stop function: the iron automati-
cally stops steaming when the temperature is too low to pre-
vent water from dripping out of the soleplate.
With the anti-dripping system, you can perfectly iron even the
most delicate fabrics.
SELF CLEANING
This function removes the scale and minerals built up in the
Steam Chamber. The iron will remain in the best condition if
this function is performed at least once a month or more regu-
larly depending on the hardness of the water used.
1. Fill the steam iron with water & plug the appliance.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the maximum position.

ENGLISH
3. Pilot light goes off when the required temperature is reached.
4. Wait for one more cycle; the Pilot light glows and goes off.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the minimum position.
6. Disconnect the iron from the mains supply outlet.
7. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
8. Press and hold the Self Clean button.
9. Steam and boiling hot water will drain from the holes on the
soleplate washing away the scale and minerals that have
built up inside the Steam Chamber.
10. Gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank is
empty.
11. When Self-Cleaning is complete, release the Self Clean
button.
12. Rest your steam iron vertically and allow to fully cool down.
13. Wipe the soleplate with a cold damp cloth.
Caution: Keep skin/body away from hot water.
HOW TO CLEAN THE STEAM IRON
1. Disconnect the iron from the mains supply outlet and wait to
cool down.
2. Use a damp cloth to remove any deposits on the soleplate
or the cabinets.
Note: Never use sharp or rough objects to remove the depos-
its from the soleplate. Never use any abrasive, vinegar or other
chemical agents to clean the iron.
