• When in use, your electric pump injects water into the iron solepate. It makes a noise but this is normal.
Use
Setting the temperature
Do not place the iron on a metal support.When taking a break from ironing, always place the iron on the iron
rest plate of the unit. It is equipped with non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high
temperatures.
• Place the iron's temperature control dial according to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).
• The iron thermostat light comes on. Important: whenever you start using your iron and whenever you change the
temperature during use, the iron is fully ready for use when its iron thermostat light goes out.
• While ironing, the light of the iron turns on and off, as the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.
• Steam may take some time to start as your appliance needs to activate its water circuit.
• The steam can only be used on 3 dots setting area (see below table). For other garments (1 dot and 2 dots) the
iron is not hot enough to produce steam and therefore it is not recommended to use the steam control button
as this may cause water dripping from the soleplate.
• The steam will stop when you release the button.
• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
Before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not used the steam button for a long time, press the steam
control button several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes.
• Iron temperature setting:
- Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those which need higher temperatures
(••• or Max).
- Mixed fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
• If you put your thermostat in the “min” position, the iron does not heat.
Steam boost function
• Your appliance includes the Steam boost: automatic sequential steam for effortless use. To be used in particular
for thick fabrics.
• To obtain this function, press the steam control button under the handle three times in quick succession.
ECO MODE: Your appliance has an ECO mode function which uses less power whilst still producing a good steam
flow to iron your garments properly. This mode can only be used on 3 dots setting (••• or Max) (see Above table).
Dry ironing
• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
Vertical steam ironing
Recommendations : for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres from the garment to avoid
burning the fabric.
• Set the iron temperature control dial to the MAX position.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger.
As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang
garments on a coat hanger.
• Holding the iron in a vertical position, press repeatedly on the steam control button (underneath the iron handle)
moving the iron from top to bottom.

Refilling the water tank

• Switch off then unplug the appliance and open the flap on the tank.
• Fill a jug with untreated tap water then fill the tank up to the max mark.
• Plug in and switch the appliance on again by pressing the on/off switch.
Maintenance and cleaning
Anti calc maintenance
Do not put any descaling substances (vinegar, industrial descaling products, etc.) in the water tank or in the anti calc
cartridge compartment, they could damage your appliance.
To extend the life of your appliance and to avoid scale, your appliance is equipped with a anti calc cartridge system. This
anti calc cartridge system is located below the iron rest.
The cartridge will need to be changed only when the anti-calc indictor flashes which will depend on your frequency of
ironing and how much steam you use.
Operation:
The appliance has an anti calc indicator located on the control panel. When this indicator is flashing it means that
the anti calc cartridge is no longer efficient and must be replaced by a new one.
To replace your anti calc cartridge :
- Never replace the anti calc cartridge during use.
- Switch off and unplug your appliance.
- Wait for at least one hour and check that the appliance is cold.
- Open the anti calc cartridge cover.
- Pull the used anti calc cartridge out of its compartment.
- Be careful, some water drops may fall out of the anti calc cartridge when you remove it from its compartment.
This is normal and the water is harmless.
- Take the new anti calc cartridge out of its bag.
- Place the new anti calc cartridge in the compartment and press it down until it locks.
- Close the anti calc cartridge cover.
- Plug and switch on your appliance. The max indicator located on the control panel flashes while the iron heats
up. When the max indicator light stops flashing and the iron thermostat light goes out (after 2 minutes
approximately), the appliance is ready for use.
- Press the anti calc reset button on the control panel. (3 seconds)
- You might have to press the steam control button for a few minutes to start the steam again as your appliance needs
to re-activate its water circuit when the temperature dial is in the 3 dot position.
This operation is essential to maintain the working life of your appliance.
Using the appliance without changing the cartridge can damage the appliance and stop its steaming
performance. Press on the anti calc button only if you have changed the cartridge.
To ensure the efficiency of the cartridge, please remove it from its plastic bag just before use. The
international guarantee will not cover any damages which occur as a result of using the appliance without
changing the cartridge.
Cleaning your appliance
Before cleaning, ensure your appliance is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron have cooled down for least
1 hour.
• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
Storing your appliance
• Warning: do not touch the soleplate while still hot.
• Store the water connection cord in its compartment.
• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 1 hour before storing it away.

A problem with your appliance ?
PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTIONS
Your iron is producing little or no
steam.
You have just filled the tank or chan-
ged the anti-calc cartridge, or you
have just started using it.
Press the steam control button conti-
nuously for few minutes pointing it
away from your linen, in order to
prime the pump.
There is no anti calc cartridge in the
appliance or it is not properly instal-
led.
Make sure the anticalc cartridge is
installed and locked down in its com-
partment.
Steam cannot be produced at the
temperature you have selected.
Set the thermostat control in the co-
loured zone (••• or MAX).
The water tank is empty. Fill the tank.
Water runs out of the holes of the so-
leplate.
You are using steam for the first time
or you have not used it for some
time.
Press on the steam control button
away from your ironing board until
the iron produces steam.
The setting is not correct (1 dot / 2
dots) and the soleplate is not hot en-
ough to produce steam.
Set the iron at 3 dots (••• or MAX)
and wait for the iron thermostat light
to go out before activating the steam
button again.
Water streaks appear on the linen.
Your ironing board is saturated with
water because it is not suitable for
use with a steam generator.
Check that your ironing board is
suitable. We recommend that you
use a vented/mesh type ironing
board.
Brown streaks come through the
holes in the soleplate and stain the
linen.
You are using chemical descaling
agents or additives in the water
ironing.
Never add this type of product in the
water tank (see “for what water may
be used”). Contact an Approved Ser-
vice Centre.
Your linen is not rinsed sufficiently or
you have ironed a new garment be-
fore washing it.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to
remove any soap deposits or chemi-
cals on new garments which may be
sucked up by the iron.
The soleplate is dirty or brown and
may stain the linen.
You are ironing at too high a tempe-
rature.
See our recommendations regarding
temperature control setting.
You are using starch. Always spray starch on the reverse
side of the fabric to be ironed.
Steam or water escapes under the
base of the appliance. The appliance is faulty. Stop using your appliance and contact an Approved Service Centre.
The “anti calc” indicator is flashing. The anti calc cartridge is no longer
efficient.
Replace the anti calc cartridge with a
new one then press the reset button
for a minimum of 3 seconds.
The anti calc indicator is still flashing
after replacing the cartridge.
You have not pressed the reset
button.
Press the reset button until the light
stops flashing.
