1 - PREPARATION

1.Set up your iron on the table.

•Unwind the cord completely.

•Set the selector to Cordless and remove the iron from its base.

•Turn the base over, pull out the table grip and fix it to the table at the

rear.

2.Fill the tank.

WHAT WATER SHOULD BE USED?

Your iron is designed to function with tap water. However, you should regularly carry out auto-cleaning of the steam chamber to remove any scale deposits.

If you have very calcareous (hard) water (you can check this with your water supplier), you can mix tap water with commercially-avai- lable demineralized water in the proportions:

-50% tap water

-50% demineralized water

WHY NOT USE OTHER TYPES OF WATER?

Do not use the following types of water, which may cause spitting, brown streaks or premature ageing of your iron:

-commercially-available demineralized water on its own

-water from spin-dryers

-scented water

-softened water

-water from refrigerators

-water for batteries

-rainwater

-water from air

-conditioning units

-distilled water air

Caution

•Always remove your iron from the base (cordless) before filling it.

•Set the Steam control to DRY.

•Open the flap of the tank, tilt the iron and fill it.

Caution

Do not fill above the Max indicator (with the iron on its heel).

• Put it back on its base.

2 - STEAM IRONING

1.Adjust the temperature and the steam.

• Position the thermostat control on the name of the fabric that you want

to iron (see diagram below).

To start ironing, allow the indicator to come on twice before commencing.

Tip

•Start by ironing fabrics which require a low temperature (•) and finish with those which require a higher temperature (••• or MAX).

•If you reduce the thermostat, wait for the lamp to come on again before continuing with your ironing.

•If you are ironing a mixed-fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature accor- ding to the most fragile of the fibres.

•Set the Steam control to AUTO. Steam production is automatically adapted to the temperature selected.

Caution

•Your iron only produces steam when the thermostat control is in the coloured zone.
