STEAMFORCE, CONCENTRATED INNOVATION...
Small in size , Steamforce combines power and performance thanks to the compact steam
generator built inside the iron. With unparalleled steam generation capacity reaching
200g/min and variable steam of up to 50g/min, Steamforce pushes up to 30% more
steam** into the fibres of your fabric. This extra steam at the heart of the fabric is the
secret of perfect ironing and long-lasting results.

BEFORE USE

IMPORTANT Before doing anything else, remove the sticker on the side fig.1
Warning! Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we
recommend that you operate the steam in a horizontal position for a few moments,
away from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of Steam button a few times.
During the first few uses, a harmless odour and a small amount of smoke may be
noticeable.
This has no effect on the use of the iron and will cease quickly.
Upon the first use, you may notice small particles coming out of the soleplate. This
is parf of manufacturing process and is not harmful to you or your garments. It will
disappear after several uses. You may accelerate this by using the self cleaning
function (fig.13a - 13b) and shaking the iron gently.

WHAT WATER MAY BE USED ?

Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check with your
local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated tap water
with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORTANT 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 tumble dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators,
batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water should
not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiling, or bottled mineral water.
