SOLUTIONS
Press the steam control button conti-
nuously for few minutes pointing it away
from your linen, in order to prime the
pump.
Make sure the anticalc cartridge is installed
and locked in its compartment.
Set the thermostat control in the coloured
zone (••• or MAX).
Fill the tank.
Check that the anti-calc light is not
flashing. If the light is flashing, remove
the water tank and change the anti calc
cartridge.
If not, proceed to a self-cleaning.
Press on the steam control button away
from your ironing board until the iron
produces steam.
Set the iron at 3 dots (••• or MAX) and
wait for the iron thermostat light to go out
before activating the steam button again.
Check that your ironing board is suitable.
We recommend that you use a vented/
mesh type ironing board.
Never add this type of product in the water
tank (see "for what water may be used").
Contact an Approved Service Centre.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove
any soap deposits or chemicals on new gar-
ments which may be sucked up by the iron.
See our recommendations regarding tem-
perature control setting.
Always spray starch on the reverse side of
the fabric to be ironed.
Stop using your appliance and contact an
Approved Service Centre.
Replace the anti calc cartridge with a new
one then press the anti-calc button
for a minimum of 3 seconds.
Press the anti calc button until the light
stops flashing.
