Remove any labels from the soleplate before
heating the iron.
Before using the steam function in your iron
for the first time, we recommend that you
allow the iron to operate a few moments in
a horizontal position without coming into
contact with your laundry. Keeping the iron
in this position, push the steam button se-
veral times.
During the first few uses, the appliance may
produce smoke, a harmless odour and a
light emission of particles. These are simply
the engineering residues from the manufac-
turing process burning off. These are har-
mless and will quickly disappear.

water containing additives (starch, perfume, aromatic
substances, softeners, etc.), rain water, filtered, bottled
or boiled water, water from refrigerators, batteries or
air conditioners. These types of water contain organic
waste, mineral elements that become concentrated
when heated and cause spitting, brown staining, leaking
or premature wear on your iron.
• Unplug the iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to .
• Lift the iron and, holding it at a slight incline, point the
soleplate up.
