for the first time. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
Preparation
What water to use?
• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary
to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the
steam chamber.
• Never use water containing additives (starch, scents, softeners, etc.), or water produced by
condensation (e.g. water from tumble-driers, refrigerators, air conditioners, rain water). The types
of water contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or
premature wear of the appliance.
Fill the tank up to the "MAX".
Never fill the appliance by hol-
ding it directly under the tap.
Do not remove the anti-scale
valve to fill the water tank.
Use
Adjust the temperature and the steam
• Set the thermostat control – fig.4, referring to the table below.
• The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough – fig.5.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Select setting and save 20% energy compare with the maximum position.
• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher
temperature,
• If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on before beginning to iron again,
• When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre. For delicate fabrics we recommend
testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).
