press is locked for safety. Gently press the
handle down and push the two locking
buttons on the handle upwards. Open the
press by gently raising the handle.
4. OPENING AND CLOSING THE
PRESS
The handle is used to open and close the heating
plate. By lifting it with your hand, the pressure is
released and the machine opens. By bringing
the handle down, the machine closes and the
pressing pressure increases until it automatically
engages at maximum pressure.

TYPES OF WATER
You can use: Tap water, distilled water for irons, water produced
by a condenser tumble drier provided that it is filtered (through a
coffee filter).
Do not use : Rain water, water from the fridge, water from any
evaporating appliance. For appliance with EMC system, water
supplied by your water softener if it is indicating the need for
regenerating salts (incompatibility with the EMC system).
Choosing your water
You can use either tap water or distilled water for irons. Depending
upon the calcium level contained in your tap water as well as upon
your weekly ironing time (average time : 2/3 hours), it can be more
economical to use distilled water for irons (not for car batteries).
In this case, your cartridge should last up to 1 year (depending
on the volume of your ironing and on the quantity of steam you
ask for).
A. Dip the strip 1 second into tap water. Ventilate the strip for a few
seconds and wait for the result approximately 1 minute.
Recommendation
B 1 or 1 1/2 mauve square : you can use tap water
C. 2 or more mauve squares : we advise you to use distilled water
for irons.
In order to ensure long life to your appliance, and
prolong the lifetime of the anti-scale cartridge,
we advise you to mix 300ml tap and 700ml
demineralised water.
TIPS
Noise
To ensure regular steam output performance, your unit is equipped
with an injection pump which is activated each time you lower the
handle in the half closed steam position. It is louder when:
1) the water tank is empty
2) the unit is used for the first time
3) the anti-calc cartridge has just been changed.
The pump can be heard humming during normal use.

PREPARATION
To plug in the ironing press
- Connect the supply cord to the plug at the rear of the
press.

switch on. For your own safety, check that you have
an earth plug.
14. On/Off switch (according to model)
- After having plugged in the press, depress the main
On/Off switch .
- The red signal lamp confirms that the upper plate and
the steam boiler are heating.
15. Temperature control
– Having switched on your press, the temperature
signal lamp will light at the same time.
– The temperature signal lamp goes out when
the temperature corresponding to the selected
position on the thermostat is reached. It lights and
goes out regularly during the ironing operation.
Caution : the signal lamp will not light when the
thermostat is on , but the steam generator is heating.
16. Selecting the proper temperature
The quality of the pressing depends partly on the
quantity of the steam you use and partly on using a
suitable heat. Labels on articles to be pressed indicate
the correct ironing temperature using the following
International ironing
Symbols :
Minimum heat
Medium heat
 Maximum heat
These symbols are marked on the thermostat selector
of the machine.
- Turn the thermostat to the position corresponding to
the fabric to be pressed and to the symbol indicated
on the fabric label.
When the thermostat is opposite the sign , the
board does not heat.

the press : the pressure is automatic.
First steam generation
Your unit is brand new. The steam system will have to
be initialised.
– Fill the water tank up completely
– Put the anti-calc cartridge in place (let the extra
water run off)
– Put the water tank back into its housing, pushing it
all the way in.
– Turn on your unit.
– As soon as the appliance is ready to produce steam,
lower the handle to the steam position.
22. BOOSTER FUNCTION (according to
model)
A. Constant steam :
Steam button out.
Lower the upper ironing plate mid-way to
automatically obtain steam.
B. Booster function
Steam button pushed in.
When you lower the upper plate, there will be a high
surge of steam that will last for several seconds. It
will then return to constant steam output. This is the
automatic “Booster” effect. Close the press to iron the
garment, and just re-opening the press will be enough
to automatically re-set the press to Booster function.
Electrical safety
If the machine is plugged in and closed for about 10
seconds, an acoustic warning signal sounds) the
electrical heating is automatically cut off. Opening the
machine. The electrical heating switches on again
automatically.

ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ
CHANGING THE ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGE
With tap water :
Scaling is no longer a problem thanks to the antiscaling cartridge. Please remember, the grains
will progressively change colour and they lose their efficiency. The cartridge needs replacing
when the change in colour is on the top. Each time you fill the water tank, check the anti-
scaling cartridge.
With demineralised water :
The cartridge must be regularly checked and replaced as described above. However, by using
demineralised water for domestic purposes, your cartridge should last for up to 1 - 2 years.
Your press will not scale if you follow the above instructions carefully. Failure to follow the
recommendations will result in the steam generation system scaling more rapidly. You will then
observe that the steam output constantly decreases. Take your appliance to a registered after-
sales service centre in order to have your machine descaled
CAUTION : Warranty does not cover servicing of your ironing assembly due to scaling.
25
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
To keep your press perfectly clean wash the outside
parts with a slightly soapy water and carefully wipe
it off with a soft cloth.
25. THE FOAM
After extensive use, the padding under the pressing
cover will be compressed, affecting the quality of
your pressing. This should be replaced.
25. THE COVER
Make sure that the cover is always tight enough
so that it does not make pleats. It may be washed
up to 40° C. Avoid mixing it with white linen. If it
shows signs of wear it must be replaced.

26. HEATING PLATE
In any ironing process the starches in fabrics,
residues of cleaning products, and particles of yarn
fibres can gradually cause spots on the heating
plate. To remove these rub the heating plate while
still warm with strong paper or a soft cloth which
does not leave fluff. If “hard to remove” spots appear
on the plate (e.g. if synthetic fabrics have been
pressed at too high a temperature), clean them off
with a cleaning stick. Do not use scouring powders,
alkalines (e.g. for ovens), abrasives or steel wool.
