Preparation
What water may be used ?
Ironing Boards:
Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting.
•Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
•Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.
If your water is very hard (check with your local water authority) it is possible to mix untreated tap water with
Filling the water tank
•Place the steam generator on a stable, horizontal and
•Ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest have cooled down.
•Open the water tank filler cover - fig.4.
•Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark - fig.5.
•Close the water tank filler cover.
Using the Easycord system
•Your iron is equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from dragging over the laundry and creasing it again when ironing.
•Take the steam cord out of its housing and unwind it completely.
•Remove the tie to release the cord outlet.
•Press the Eject button - fig.6 and the Easycord system extends automatically.
•When the cord outlet tips, the Easycord system extends automatically without you having to press the Eject button.
Always use the Easycord system for enhanced comfort of use.
The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.
Switch on the steam generator
•Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its storage space.
•Lower the retaining hoop (depending on model) to unlock the safety catch - fig.3.
•Plug your steam generator into a mains socket with an earth pin”.
•Press on the on / off switch. The green light (located on the control panel) flashes and the boiler heats up - fig.7.
When the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (after 2 minutes approximately), the appliance is ready.
Operating the control panel
•Green light flashes: the boiler heats up. - fig.7.
•Green light on: the steam is ready - fig.7.

Steam ironing
•Place the iron's temperature control slide according to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).
•The thermostat light comes on. Be careful ! The steam generator is ready when the thermostat light goes out and when the green “steam ready” light stays on.
•Adjust the steam output control dial (located on the control panel).
•While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on and off, as the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.
•To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and keep it pressed - fig.8. The steam will stop when you release the button.
•When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening. Again this is normal.
•Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
Do not place the iron on a metal support.When taking a break from ironing, always place the iron on the iron rest plate of the unit. It is equipped with
