PREPARATION

Sort the laundry according to the international symbols shown on the label; if this is missing, sort according to the type of material.
Start to iron the garments that require a lower temperature so as to reduce idle time (the iron requires less time to warm up than to cool down) and eliminate the risk of burning the fabric.

USE

This appliance is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking water.

Use only demineralised water for irons.

DO NOT pour diluting agents, scented liquids or descaling agents into the reservoir as the use of these substances can damage the product.

DO NOT use water from dryers, air-conditioners, water from tumble dryers, filtered water with water softeners and rain water.

The reservoir may contain some water as each product is tested before being put on the market.

FILLING THE TANK

Check that the power supply cable with plug (8) is plugged into the socket.
Open the water fill cover (9).
Pour water into the tank (6) very slowly to avoid overflowing.
Do not exceed the maximum filling level indicated.
Close the water fill cover (9).

NOTE: The tank can also be filled during use.

SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE

Plug the power supply cable with plug (8) into the socket.
Press the ON/OFF switch (1) to turn the product ON.
Light (2) comes ON to indicate that the product is operating.
Set the temperature according to the type of fabric in line with the international symbols shown on the labels; using the adjustment knob (13)..
The plate temperature LED (10) indicates that the iron is warming up.
Wait for the plate temperature LED (10) to go off before starting to iron.

It is recommended that you place a cloth between the iron and the fabric when using the iron for the first time.
Before starting ironing, direct a jet of steam onto the cloth by lifting the iron slightly so that any residual condensation comes out.

Fabrics with the following symbols may not be ironed:

IRONING WITH STEAM

Press the steam request button (12) to iron with steam.

NOTE: Steam can only be used at the highest temperatures, between the position with the 3 dots and the maximum temperature position, as indicated by the symbol on the temperature adjustment knob (13).
If the selected temperature is too low, water droplets may drip from the plate.

The soleplate temperature LED flashes intermittently while ironing, thereby indicating that the selected temperature is maintained.

DRY IRONING WITHOUT STEAM

SUPER-STEAM FUNCTION

Press the super steam switch (3) to increase the amount of steam.
When the super-steam light (4) is ON, it indicates that the function is active.
