First sort out the fabrics according to ironing temperature: wool with wool, cotton with
cotton, etc.
• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring
the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Then progressively increase
the temperature.
• If the article is made of a mixture of different fibres, you must always select the ironing
temperature corresponding to that of the fibre requiring the lowest temperature.
(E.g. an article consisting of "60% polyester and 40% cotton" should be ironed at the
temperature indicated for polyester and without steam.)
If you do not know the kind of fabric(s) the article has been made of, find a spot which will
be invisible when wearing or using the article to try out the ironing temperature. (Always
start at a low temperature and increase to one which gives the required results.)
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. It is
recommended to apply a burst of steam and use a dry pressing cloth between the
woollen article and the iron.
• When ironing with steam (see paragraph "Steam ironing"), the fabric might shine. You can
prevent it by ironing the reverse side of the article or interposing a slightly humid cloth
between the article and the soleplate.
• Velvet and other fabrics that rapidly acquire shiny spots should be ironed in one direction
only (the one of the nap), applying only light pressure. Always keep the iron moving.
• Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk; it is not advisable to use steam as this
may cause stains.
FILLING THE WATER TANK (FOR STEAM IRONING)
1. Put the base on a stable surface.
2. Open the water tank by unscrewing the cap (5) and fill the water tank with clear water
using the provided funnel. You can use tap water, but we advise you to use demineralised
water. The water tank can contain 0.8 litre of water at the maximum.
3. Close the cap (5) of the water tank by screwing it back on.
4. Never use vinegar, detergents or other chemical products.
FILLING THE WATER TANK DURING USE
USE CAUTION! WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS IN OPERATION, THE WATER TANK IS UNDER PRESSURE DUE
TO HOT STEAM.
IN THE FIRST PLACE, MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO MORE STEAM IN THE WATER TANK. TO DO SO,
BLEED THE TANK - THE BASE AND THE IRON STILL ENERGIZED – BY PRESSING THE BUTTON (6) UNTIL
NO MORE STEAM ESCAPES. THEN SWITCH OFF THE BASE AND THE IRON. UNSCREW THE CAP
SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO CHECK IF THERE IS NO STEAM AT ALL ANYMORE (IF THERE
IS STILL SOME RESIDUAL STEAM, A WHISTLING NOISE WILL BE MADE), THEN UNSCREW THE CAP
COMPLETELY. LET THE TANK COOL DOWN FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN REFILL IT. BE CAREFUL: IF
YOU FILL IT TOO SOON, STEAM OR HOT WATER WILL ESCAPE FROM THE OPENING. IT IS
RECOMMENDED TO FILL THE TANK SLOWLY, ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING. FINALLY, CLOSE THE
TANK WITH THE CAP. YOUR APPLIANCE IS READY FOR USE AGAIN.

STEAM IRONING

• Fill the water tank with water.
• As indicated on the temperature dial (8) and in the table, steam ironing is only possible at
higher ironing temperatures, so set the dial to
• Plug in the appliance and press the power switch (10) to turn on the appliance.
• Press the steam switch (11) to switch the boiler on.
• Set the temperature dial of the iron (8) to the desired position. When the iron has reached
the desired temperature, its pilot light (1) will go out.
