A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this is only temporary. The water tank can then be filled directly (see C "Filling with water/topping up").

Before ironing for the first time and after filling and hea- ting up, the iron should be allowed to emit steam for at least 1 minute to remove any impurities.

What water may be used ?

Your iron has been designed to operate using tap water. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix it 50% tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.

Do not add anything to the contents of the water tank and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water. These contain organic waste or mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining or premature water to your iron.

D Setting the temperature

D1 Electronic temperature control (Thermo Control)

On your electronic iron you can set the precise ideal tem- perature for each material. The different types of material are shown on the temperature control dial:

The soleplate of your iron is fitted with an electronic sen- sor which continuously monitors the temperature of the soleplate and keeps it at the precise selected setting. This enables you always to iron at the optimum temperature.

Tip: We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature as the iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. For mixed fabrics set the tempe- rature for the most delicate fabric.

E Ironing and Steam functions

E1	Dry ironing
	To iron without continuous steam, turn the steam control
	to and set the temperature to suit the type of material
	(care points •, ••, •••).
E2	Steam ironing
	You can steam iron from temperature setting •• up. The
	steam quantity can be set to between (minimum steam
	quantity) and (maximum steam). We recommend setting
	to maximum steam quantity only when the iron is at
	temperature setting •••.
E3	Intra Steam
	Your iron is fitted with the new Intra Steam system. This
	technology generates higher steam pressure to enable the
	steam to penetrate much faster and further into the fabric.
	This way you get excellent results from your ironing.
	The steam is emitted in frequent bursts rather than conti-
	nuously. The pressure generated may cause a slight noise.
	This is not a technical fault!
E4	Power steam button (from temperature setting •• up)
	To generate a powerful jet of steam and remove stubborn
	creases, press the power steam button.

Vertical steam ironing (from temperature setting •• up) Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc.

Important:

Never steam or iron clothing that is being worn!

-Hang up the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.

-Set the thermostat control to maximum steam

-Hold the iron a few centimetres away from the garment to avoid burning delicate fabrics.

-Press the power steam button repeatedly, moving the

iron from top to bottom. 3
