Before using the iron for the first time
Please carry out the following steps:
1. Remove the protective cover from the soleplate before using
the iron.
2. While the iron is unplugged, fill the water tank (D) with tap
water
3. Plug the appliance into the mains and set the temperature
control (H) to the "•••" position by lining it up with the pointer
(G) on the iron.
4. When the iron has reached the correct temperature (the
pilot lamp "I" will goes out), set the steam regulator (A) to the
maximum position .
5. Hold the iron horizontally and repeatedly press the shot of steam
button (L). Any residue should come out of the soleplate (E).
It may smoke and smell – this is normal and will cease after a
short while.
6. If necessary, carefully clean the soleplate down with a dry, folded
cloth
Cleaning and Maintenance
Attention ! Risk of burns !
For general cleaning, follow the information below:
Problem Solution
Dirty/lightly marked Clean the body of iron or soleplate with a
iron body or soleplate damp cloth then dry it.
Mark develops on Set the iron to its maximum temperature
soleplate during use setting. Rub the iron a few times over with
a dry cotton cloth folded several times.
Heavily stained While the iron is cold, iron a linen cloth
soleplate soaked in white vinegar. Then dampen a
cloth with water and wipe the soleplate
clean and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT de-scale or clean the water tank with cleaning products
or solvents, as these could cause the iron to drip when using the
steam function.
DO NOT use a "professional steam cleaner" for cleaning the
appliance.
Solution
after ironing
DO NOT use sharp objects or abrasive products to clean the
soleplate or any other part of the appliance. To keep the soleplate
in good condition, do not allow it to come into contact with metal
objects.
GUARANTEE TERMS
The terms of the guarantee for this appliance are in accordance
with that stated by our representative for the country in which
it is sold. Details of those conditions can be obtained from the
retailer from whom the appliance was purchased. The SALES
RECEIPT must be presented when making any claims against the
terms of this guarantee. We reserve the right to make technical
modifications.
Environmental Care
This iron has been redesigned according to ecological criteria,
related to the sustainable development, analyzing its whole
lifecycle - from material selection to its later reusing or recycling
- evaluating the improvement possibilities, from a technical,
economical and environmental point of view.
Before throwing a used appliance away, you should make it
noticeably inoperable e.g. cut off the mains lead and be certain to
dispose of it in accordance with current laws and regulations.
Your retailer, town council or local council can give you detailed
information about these.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2002/96/EG concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical
and electronic equipment - WEEE).
The guideline determines the framework for the return and re-
cycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
Tips to help you save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise
the energy used, follow the advice below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing
temperature.
• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing
temperature.
• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray
function instead.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the
steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather
than the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing
them, set the tumble drier to the 'iron dry' programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator
completely.
• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally
with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.
