Important Safety Instructions
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1.Read these instructions carefully before putting the appliance into operation and keep them for future consultation.
2.This appliance is only for domestic use, not industrial use.
3.Do not leave the appliance within the reach of children or disabled individuals.
4.Before connecting the appliance to the mains, check that the voltage indicated on the
nameplate coincides with the mains voltage.
5.No liability is accepted for damage caused through inappropriate handling or use other than that stipulated in this manual.
6.Do not use this appliance if it is damaged in any way.
7.Unravel the power cable fully.
8.Always unplug the iron when out of use, even for a short period.
9.Unplug the iron before filling or emptying the water deposit.
10.Never submerge the iron in water or put it under running water.
Before first use
•Some parts of the iron have been lightly greased and thus the iron may produce a little smoke when plugged in for the first time. This will stop after a short period of time.
1.Before putting into use for the first time, remove the plastic cover from the base and clean the base with a soft cloth.
2.Keep the base smooth: do not touch metal objects (buttons, zips, etc.)
Pure wool fabrics (100%) can be ironed with the iron set to steam. Preferably choose a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth.
Instructions for Use
Temperature setting
1.Always check each garment’s ironing instructions.
2.If a garment does not have any ironing instructions, see the fabric classification below.
3.If the garment has several different types of fibre, select the lowest temperature setting.
4.Classify the number of garments by ironing temperature. The iron heats up faster than it
cools down so we recommend you start your ironing with those garments that require lower temperatures and then gradually increase the setting.
5.Connect the appliance to the mains. The pilot light will come on. Turn the temperature gauge to the desired temperature.
*Setting for nylon and acetate ** Setting for wool or silk
*** Setting for cotton or linen
The pilot turns off when the desired temperature is reached.
How to fill the water deposit 1.Unplug the appliance.
2.Fill the water deposit through the filling hole (Fig. 1).
3.If your tap water is hard, use distilled water only.
4.Do not use chemically decalcified water.
5.The harder the water the more frequently the iron should be cleaned.
6.Throw out any excess water after use, once the iron has been unplugged.
Steam Ironing
1.Fill up the iron as described in the section “How to fill the water deposit”.
2.Plug in the iron.
3.Steam ironing is only possible if you select the highest temperature***. Otherwise water may seep through the base of the iron.
4.Wait for the pilot light to go off.
5.Turn the steam regulator to the desired position
6.During pauses and when the ironing is
complete, leave the iron standing upright.
7.Unplug the iron by pulling the plug out of the socket. Pour out any leftover water and let the iron cool down.
Spray
1.The spray can be used when dry ironing or when steam ironing.
2.To do so, press the spray button. The spray button has to be pressed repeatedly to release the first spray.
Steam blast
The steam blast gives an extra steam jet to help remove tough creases.
1.Select the maximum temperature*** on the temperature gauge. Wait for the pilot light to go off.
2.Press the steam blast button. Wait a few seconds for the steam to penetrate into the fabric before pressing again. For optimum steam quality, do not apply more than three successive blasts. The spray button has to be
