IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
1. Before using for the rst time, please ensure the voltage rating
on the type plate corresponds to the mains voltage in your
home.
2. Make sure to unplug the appliance from the socket when taking
a break, even for a short while Stand the iron on its end when
doing so.
3. Unplug the appliance from the socket before lling the iron with
water.
4. If the power cord becomes damaged, it must be repaired by a
qualied service engineer.
5. Do not direct the iron toward others when ejecting steam.This
can cause injury.
6. The iron must be used and rested on a stable, non ammable
surface.
7. Do not pull the iron by its cord, use the cord as a handle, close
a door on the cord or pull the cord around sharp edges or
corners.
8. This appliance is for normal domestic use. It must only be used
for its intended use.
9. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved.
10. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
11. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
12. Children shall not play with the appliance.
13. Appliances can be used by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
4
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
14. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been
dropped or damaged.To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron, take it to a qualied person for examination
and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used.
15. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the
iron in water or other liquids.
16. Never yank cord to remove plug from the socket, instead, grip
plug top and pull to remove.
17. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool
completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron
when storing.
18. Always disconnect iron from socket when lling with water or
emptying and when not in use.
19. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or
near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or
on an ironing board.
20. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or
steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down –
there may be hot water in the reservoir.
21. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
22. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10 amp cord
should be used. (Cords rated for less amperage may overheat).
Care should be taken to ensure the cord cannot be pulled or
tripped over.
23. DO NOT leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very
inammable surfaces.
24. NEVER touch the appliance with wet or damp hands.
25. DO NOT leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain,
sun, etc.).

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin lter inside the water reservoir softens the water
and prevents scale build-up in the plate. The resin lter is permanent
and does not need replacing.
Please note!
Only use tap water. Distilled and/demineralised water
makes the “Zero-Calc” anti-calc system ineffective. Do not
use chemical additives, scented substances or decalciers.
Failure to comply with the above mentioned regulations
leads to the loss of guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most
delicate fabrics.Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures.
Usually when the soleplate cools down to the point where no
more steam comes out, drops of boiling water can leave marks or
stains on the fabric.This iron will automatically activate the Anti-
drip system to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most
delicate fabrics without the risk of spoiling or staining them.When
this occurs a loud click may be heard.This is natural and indicates
the system engaging.
7
G E N E R A L I N S T R U C T I O N S
When using the iron for the rst time, you may notice a slight
emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by the expanding
plastics.This is quite normal and it stops after a short time.We
recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it
for the rst time.
Before using for the rst time, remove any stickers or protective foil
from the soleplate and clean with a soft cloth.
PREPARATIONS
Sort the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols
on the garment label, or if this is missing, according to the type of
fabric.
Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up
than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.

STEAM IRONING
FILLING THE RESERVOIR
You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water
area, you should use distilled water (not chemically descaled or
softened water).
1. Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
2. Move the variable steam selector to minimum/off and open the
water inlet cover.
3. Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening
without overowing.
4. Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the ll cup, taking
care not to go over the maximum level indicated by “MAX” on
the reservoir. (If overlled, water will escape when in use).
5. Close the cover.
Caution: synthetic fabric, nylon, synthetic silk and silk cannot use
the steam iron, otherwise it will damage the surface.
SELECT THE TEMPERATURE
1. Put the iron in a vertical position.
2. Plug into the socket.
3. Adjust the temperature control dial according to the
international symbol on the garment label.The temperature
indicator light will illuminate and indicates that the iron is heating
up.Wait until the temperature indicator light goes off before
ironing.
Warning: during ironing, the temperature control light comes on at
intervals, indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you
lower the temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start
ironing until the temperature control light comes on again.
9
SELECT THE STEAM
The quantity of steam is regulated by the variable steam selector.
1. Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and
maximum depending on the quantity of steam required and the
temperature selected.
Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the
iron horizontally.You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron
in a vertical position or by moving the steam selector to minimum/off.
As indicated on the temperature control dial and in the Preparations
table, you can only use steam at the highest temperature if the selected
temperature is too low, water may drip onto the plate
SHOT OF STEAM AND VERTICAL STEAMING
1. Press the steam-shot button to generate a powerful burst of
steam that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most
difcult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before
pressing again.
2. By pressing the steam-shot button at intervals you can also iron
vertically (curtains, hung garments, etc.).
For the best result, there should be 5 seconds rest between each
press of the steam button.To prevent leaking water from the
soleplate does not press the steam button for more than 5 seconds
continuously. Also allow the iron to rest for 1 minute before using
this function.
Warning: the steam-shot function can only be used at high
temperatures. Stop the emission when the temperature control light
comes on, then start ironing again only after the light has gone off.
10
SPRAY FUNCTION
1. Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray
button slowly (for a dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized
spray).
Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric
beforehand using the spray function, or putting a damp cloth between
the iron and the fabric.To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or
synthetic fabrics.
DRY IRONING
If you’re going to be dry ironing for 20 minutes or more, empty the
reservoir rst, to avoid spontaneous bursts of steam.
1. Turn the variable steam selector to minimum/off.
2. Wait until the light goes out and then start ironing.
CLEANING
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, unplug from the
socket and let it cool down fully.
Any deposits or starch residue left on the soleplate can be removed
using a damp cloth or a non-abrasive liquid detergent.Avoid
scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.The plastic
parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry
cloth.
Warning: never use a strong acid or alkali to avoid damaging the
soleplate.
