First Operation

The iron may smoke slightly when switched on for the first time - this is normal and will
soon cease.
If the iron remains unused for a long period of time (a few weeks), we suggest that the
steam button (10) be pressed for about 30 seconds with the iron in horizontal position,
as to clean the internal steam ducts, before you start your ironing session.
It is not necessary to completely fill the boiler tank for short ironing sessions. One
measure (or less) of water is sufficient as to reduce the waiting time and save electric
energy.

Dry ironing

To iron without steam ,first connect the appliance to the mains supply, press the
switch(5), then select the desired temperature by turning the thermostat knob(9).Wait
until the pilot lamp(11) goes off, indicating that the desired temperature has been
reached.
For dry ironing it is not necessary to press the steam button(10).

Temperature selection

First of all, check if there is a label with ironing instructions attached to the article to be
ironed. Compare the symbol on the label with the table below.
If ironing instructions are missing, but you are familiar with the fabric, the table below
may help you.
The table refers to fabrics that have been sized. If the fabrics have not been sized, they
may be ironed at a lower temperature.

Suggestions

Sort the items to be ironed according to the varying fabrics: wool with wool, cotton with
cotton, etc. Start by ironing the fabrics that require lower temperatures and
progressively work up to the fabrics that require higher temperatures, as the iron heats
up quicker than it cools down.

At the end of the ironing session

By pressing switch (4) (5) with the plug inserted into the wall socket the appliance
remains energized. Press steam button (10) to let out all the residual steam.
Turn off the appliance by pressing button (4) (5).
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
Let the iron cool down by resting it on the stand. When putting away the appliance,
make sure that the power cord and the electric cables do not touch the hot parts.
