highest temperatures. • Turn the temperature control until it is in front of the appropriate

How to fill the water tank
• Unplug the iron. • Set the steam indicator to dry ironing. • Fill the tank through the filling hole. •
If you have hard water, it is advisable to use only distilled or demineralized water. • Note: Do not
use chemically de-limed water or perfumed. • Note: Do not store the iron with water in the tank.
Steam ironing
• Fill the iron as described in the section "how to fill the water tank". • Plug the iron into the mains.
• Steam ironing is only possible when the highest temperature shown on the temperature
control is selected. Otherwise water may escape through the soleplate. • Wait until the red
pilot light goes out, which indicates that the selected temperature has been reached. • Turn
the steam button to the required position. • When the ironing is finished and during breaks,
place the iron in its upright position. • Disconnect the iron from the mains supply. Pour off any
remaining water and leave the iron to cool off.
Spray
• The spray can be used in any position, either in dry or steam ironing, as long as the water
tank is filled with water. • Press the spray button for this function. • NOTE: This button has to be
pressed repetitively to start this function for the first time.
Shot of steam
• Shot of steam give extra steam for removing persistent wrinkles. • Set the temperature
selector at the "max" position and wait until the pilot light goes out • Wait for a few seconds for
the steam to penetrate the fibre before pressing again. • NOTE: For the best steam quality, do
not use more than three successive bursts each time.
Anticalc system
• A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale build-
up on the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing. • Please note: •
Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralised water makes the "Zero-Calc" anti-calc system
ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics. • Do not use chemical additives,
scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations
leads to the loss of guarantee.
Antidrip system
• With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics. Always iron
these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point where no more steam
comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the
Antidrip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most
delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always unplug the device and let it cool down completely before cleaning • To avoid damage
to the soleplate, never use any sharp object or metal utensil to scrap the soleplate • To remove
build up sediments in the steam holes, use a cotton wool tip moistened with mild descaling
solution.
• Use a soft damp cloth to clean the housing of the device. • Do not use any abrasive detergent
or steel wool to clean the iron, as it may scratch the surfaces. • Empty any remaining water from
the water tank, do not allow water to stay overnight in the water tank. • Always allow the iron to
cool completely before winding the cord around the soleplate.
