Self-clean function
The self-clean function is a permanent system located inside the water tank to eliminate
impurities in water and reduce the problems derived from limescale build-up. To prolong the
efficiency of this system, follow these steps regularly:
1. Fill the iron with water up to the Max. mark and heat the iron to the maximum
temperature. Wait until the led light indicates that the temperature has been reached.
Unplug the iron and carry it to a sink, hold the iron horizontally over the sink, and press
2.
the self-clean button.
3. Shake the iron so that all limescale and dirt falls into the sink through the holes in the
soleplate. Repeat this procedure several times.
Reheat the iron and wipe the soleplate with a cloth to remove any limescale and dirt
4.
that may have remained inside.
5. It is recommended to do this at least once every two weeks. For very hard water, a
weekly cleaning is recommended instead.
Anti-drip function
This system controls the water flow emitted to the soleplate at all times. Below a certain
temperature, the anti-drip function cuts off the water flow and prevents the iron from
dripping water onto the fabric.
Automatic shut-off function
- The iron will automatically turn off when placed in horizontal position for 30 seconds, or
in an upright position for 8 minutes. To indicate that the iron has been turned off, the unit
will beep 6 times and the auto shut-off indicator light will blink. The iron can take up to
45-60 minutes to completely cool down.
- To heat up the iron again:
Pick up the iron or slightly move it.
1.
2. The auto shut-off light indicator will stop blinking.
3. The auto shut-off light indicator will remain on and the iron will be ready for use.
ECO mode
Use this mode for optimal results when steam ironing any type of fabric. This position
guarantees good energy-saving results.
How to use the water spray
- Before using the spray function, check the fabric label for ironing instructions, as some
fabrics may be spotted or stained with moisture.
- The spray function is particularly helpful to remove stubborn wrinkles and whenever
extra moisture is needed. The spray may be used both with steam or dry ironing.
- Simply press the spray mist button when desired.

How to use the steam burst
- The steam burst feature provides additional steam to remove stubborn wrinkles. It may
be used both with steam or dry ironing.
- Press the power steam button to release a steam burst.
- Pressing the button several times may be necessary to build up the steam burst.
- Wait a few seconds for the steam to penetrate the fabric before pressing the button
again for more steam.
Please note
For optimal results, do not apply more than three successive steam bursts after the indicator
light turns off.
After use
- Turn off and unplug the iron.
- Empty the iron immediately after use. Do not store the iron with water in its tank.
- Allow the iron to completely cool down before cleaning or storing it. Let it rest on its base
in vertical position to protect the soleplate from scratches, corrosion, or stains.
4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Exterior iron surface
- After unplugging and letting the iron cool down, wipe its exterior surface with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, a mild detergent.
Warning
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agent.
Soleplate
- Starch and other types of residue may be easily removed from the soleplate with a damp
cloth. To avoid scratches on its finish, do not use metallic scouring pads to clean the
soleplate and never place the iron on a rough surface.
- If synthetic fabrics are ironed at high temperature, both the fabric and the soleplate of
the iron could be damaged. The best way to remove synthetic residue from the soleplate
is to heat it up and iron over an old cotton rag.
Warning
Do not use steam iron cleaners in this iron, since they could damage its parts.
