USING THE IRON

The first time
1. If you are using the iron for the first time, check that the voltage indicated on the underside of the
iron corresponds to the voltage of the circuit to which you intend to connect the iron.
2. Remove any labels and stickers from the iron.
3. Some parts of the iron have been lightly greased; this may cause the iron to give off a little smoke
when it is switched on for the first time. The smoke will stop after a short time. Use ordinary tap
water for steam ironing. However, if you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled
water for best results.

FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR

• Ensure that the appliance is not plugged in.
• Place the reservoir on a stable surface.
• Fill the water reservoir (max. 1 litre)
• You can use tap water. If you live in a hard water area, you can use distilled water instead.
• Never use vinegar, decalcifying agents or other chemicals.
• Close the steam reservoir by manually turning the cap clockwise until firmly closed.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR WHEN THE IRON AND/OR WATER RESERVOIR IS HOT
ATTENTION: when the iron is heating up, the water reservoir is pressurised. Only fill the reservoir when
it is empty and cool.
1. Turn the iron off using the 'iron switch'.
2. Turn the water reservoir off using the 'steam reservoir switch'
3. Remove the plug from the socket.
4. Carefully unscrew the cap of the water reservoir (anticlockwise) until steam can be heard escaping.
Wait until the noise stops. This sound is quite normal and does not mean that anything is wrong with
the appliance. NOTE: When the pressure is still too great it is impossible to unscrew the cap. You
should then wait until the reservoir has cooled sufficiently.
5. Continue to unscrew the cap carefully until the sound is heard again. Wait once more
until the noise stops. Continue in this fashion until the cap is removed.
6. Wait for a few minutes, then slowly pour water into the aperture.

DRY IRONING

To iron without steam, the steam reservoir switch must be in the OFF position.
