Use

To fill the water tank

Unplug your iron before filling it and set the steam control lever to (fig.1).

Open the water tank filling inlet lid (fig.2), place the iron in a horizontal position and fill it with water (fig.3).

Close the water tank filling inlet lid.

Do not exceed the “MAX” fill level as indicated on the water tank of the iron.

Always use the Easycord system for enhanced comfort of use.

To use the Easycord system

Your iron is equipped with the Easycord system to prevent the cord from dragging across your garments and wrinkling just ironed clothing.

Press the button located on the base (fig.4) and the Easycord system is automatically in use. You can now plug in your appliance and begin ironing.

To adjust the temperature and the steam

Adjust the temperature (see table below) by turning the temperature control dial to the temperature select position (fig. 5).

When the iron is plugged in, the temperature control light will remain “on” until the temperature is reached (fig.6). Once the temperature is reached, it will go “off”.

Adjust the amount of continuous steam output by moving the steam control lever (fig.7). See below table for recommended steam output levels.

Your iron heats up quickly, therefore, begin ironing with fabrics that are ironed at lower temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature.

-It is normal for the temperature indicator light to turn on and off during ironing.

-In order to avoid water leaking from the soleplate onto your garment:

Set the steam lever to when ironing silk or synthetic fabrics and set it to for wool.

Should you need to turn down the temperature, wait until the temperature light comes back on before beginning to iron again.

-When ironing fabrics with mixed fabrics, set the iron temperature for the most delicate fabric.

-For delicate fabrics, we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place for example, inside the hem.

-If you want to iron without

steam, set the steam control

level to .

In order to achieve the maximum amount of steam, it is recommended that you wait a few seconds after you push the burst of steam button again.

To obtain more steam

Press the Burst of Steam button periodically to remove stubborn wrinkles (fig.8).
