from the steam circuit.

MODE ECO:

Your steam generator iron has an ECO mode function which uses less power whilst still guaranteeing a sufficient steam flow for you to iron your garments properly. In order to use this function, once the thermostat of your iron has been correctly set (see table above), position the steam flow setting on the ECO segment - fig.12. The ECO mode can be used on all types of fabrics, however, for very thick or very creased fabrics, we recommend that you use the maximum steam flow for best results.

Dry ironing

Refilling the water tank

•When the “tank empty” red warning light flashes - fig.10, it means that you have no more steam. The water tank is empty.

•Unplug the steam generator. Open the tank filler flap - fig.4. Fill the water tank up without exceeding the MAX level - fig.4.

•Close the water tank filler cover.

•Plug in the steam generator. Press the “OK” button - fig.11, on the control panel to continue ironing. When the green indicator remains lit, the steam is ready.

•To use this function, press the Power Zone function on top of the iron as often as necessary - fig.7.

Catalysis Autoclean Soleplate®

•The iron of your steam generator comes with a self-cleaning soleplate which functions by catalysis.

•Its unique coating makes it possible to continually eliminate all the impurities arising from normal usage.

•We recommend you always place your iron on its base or on the iron rest plate in order to protect its self-cleaning coating.
