BEFORE USE

W RNING ! Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron.
W RNING ! Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend
that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen, i.e. press
the Shot of Steam button a few times.
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 nti Calc function (fig 5a – 5b) and shaking
the iron gently.
1 • 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.
IMPORT NT 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
distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your iron. lso do not use

IRONING BO RD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used
to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.
