-Locking – fig.2

-Unlocking – fig.3

•To carry your steam generator by the iron handle:

-Place the iron on the iron rest of the generator and raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible

- Grasp the handle of the iron to carry your steam generator – fig.1.

Preparation

What water may be used ?

•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.

Filling the water tank

•Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant surface.

•Remove the water tank by pulling on the handle (at the front of the generator) – fig.4.

•Fill the tank with water, taking care not to exceed the maximum level – fig.6. and fig.7.

•Slide the tank back into its housing until its “clicks” into place – fig.5.

Ultracord System (according to model)

• Your iron is equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from dragging over the laundry and creasing it again when ironing. It also keeps the cord out of the way of your hand.

Ironing with the Ultracord system:

- The Ultracord system automatically tips back.

- Each time you put the iron back on its base, the Ultracord system fits into the heel of the iron and opens back up automatically when you use the iron.

Storing the generator:

- Fold the connector back onto the heel.

- A magnet holds the connector to the heel of the iron, making your generator easy to store – fig.8.

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.
