Preparation

Setting up

Attach the EasyFix system onto the ironing board by turning the screw. It is normal that the small piece attached to the screw is mobile – fig.1.

Click the base onto the EasyFix System – fig.2 and 3.

Adjust the angle of the base on the board – fig.4. We recommend that the base is adjusted to a 45° angle for greater comfort.

What water to use?

Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.

Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical 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, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered or bottled water. These types of water should not be used in your iron. Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised below.

If your water is very hard, it is possible to mix untreated tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions : 50% tap water, 50% distilled or demineralised water.

Filling the water tank

Fill the tank up to the “MAX”. Never fill the appliance by holding it directly under the tap. Do not remove the anti-scale valve to fill the water tank.

Unplug the base from the socket.

Place the iron on the base.

Open the tank filling flap and fill the tank up to “MAX” – fig.5.

Close the tank filling flap.

Using the appliance

Turning on

Connect the base to a 220-240V socket – fig.6.

Adjust the temperature – fig.7. Your iron has the Autosteam Control function. Your iron automatically and accurately determines the exact temperature and steam flow that are suitable, in order to guarantee the best results.

The flashing green light – fig.8 located on the display panel on the back of the base indicates that the iron is heating up. When the light stops flashing – fig.9, the iron is ready to use.

Do not place the iron on its heel during the resting period, but on its base – fig.13.

Operation of the display panel

Flashing green light: iron is heating up – fig.8.

Fixed green light: iron is ready – fig.9.

The flashing red light and beep sounds after around 30s when the iron is not on its base: the iron must be replaced on the base for recharging – fig.14.

Flashing orange light (according to model): Auto-Off function activated (see the section “Auto-Off safety”) – fig.16.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Your iron heats up quickly: start with fabrics that are ironed at a low temperature and finish with those that require a higher temperature.

If you lower the thermostat temperature, place the iron on its base and wait (around 10 minutes) until the temperature drops to avoid burning the fabric.

If you are ironing a fabric with a mixture of fibres: adjust the ironing temperature to the most delicate fibre.

Steam / Dry Ironing

Check if there is water in the tank before using the variable steam trigger or the TURBO and SPRAY functions.

During your ironing session, hold down the trigger located under the handle (at least 5s at a time) to obtain a constant flow of steam and guarantee the best results – fig.10. When the trigger is released, the steam stops.
