1 2 3 4 5
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below
contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the
appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air
conditioners, pure distilledor demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not
use boiled, filtered or bottled water.
If y ur water is very hard mix 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled r
demineralised water.
3- PREPARING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1. To carry your steam generator by the iron handle :
- place the iron on the iron rest of the generator and raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place
(audible click) (1).
- grasp the handle of the iron to carry your steam generator (2).
2. Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant surface.
3. Grasp the handles of the removable tank and pull horizontally to remove it (3).
4. Fill up the water tank taking care not to exceed the maximum level just below the filler cover (4).
5. eplace it firmly in its housing, making sure it is fully into place (5).

4- USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1. Push the retaining clip forward to release the iron(6).
2. C mpletely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed socket (7).
3. Press on the on / off switch (located on the side of the base unit) (a): the green light (located on the control panel) flashes
and the boiler heats up (b).It will take around 2 minutes for steam to be produced which is indicated when the green “steam
ready” light stops flashing (8).
• The first time the appliance is used, there may be s me fumes and smell but this is n t
harmful. They will n t affect use and will disappear rapidly.
(a)
(b)

• Place the iron's temperature control slide according to the type of fabric to
be ironed (see table + 9).
• The thermostat light comes on. Be careful ! The steam generator is ready
when the thermostat light goes out and when the green “steam ready” light
stays on.
• Adjust the steam output control dial (located on the control panel - 10).
• While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on
and off, according to
the heating needs without any disturbing the use.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button on top of the iron handle and keep it
pressed (11). The steam will stop when you release the button.
• When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects
water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear a clicking noise
which is the steam valve opening. Again this is normal.
• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
D n t place the ir n n a metal supp rt.When taking a break fr m ir ning, always place the ir n
n the ir n rest plate f the unit. It is equipped with n n-slip pads and has been designed t
withstand high temperatures.

being worn, always hang garment on a coat hanger.
3. Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam
control button (under the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom (13).
