GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first 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 also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.
PREPARATIONS
Soft 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.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
The automatic shut off device trips after the iron has been left for approx. eight minutes in the upright position or unused for approx. Thirty seconds in the horizontal position. The light comes on to indicate that shut off has tripped. As soon as you move the iron, the device turns off and the iron starts working again.
STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
-Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
-Move the steam selector (3) to “0” [Fig. 1].
-Open the lid (2).
-Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing.
-Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (14) and tak- ing care not to go over the maximum level (about 300ml) indicated by “MAX” on the reservoir [Fig. 2].
-Close the lid (2).
