Ironing
Using the mat
• This ironing mat is extra-large, heat and steam resistant. It allows you to
iron on any suitable flat surface without risk of scorching or dripping.
• It may be creased after being stored in the box. Just iron it before begin-
ning your session. Creases will disappear in a flash.
• To do some ironing, place your ironing mat on a suitable flat, stable, heat-
resistant surface (fig A) .
During any pause in ironing,
always put your iron on its
stand, never leave it on
its soleplate on the mat.
Filling the tank
• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Press on the Dry / Steam control so that it is set to DRY (fig B) and will not
drip during filling.
• Place the iron flat on its mat, lift the filler cap and fill it to the "max" mark
indicated (capacity, 125 cc).
Or,
• With the iron set on its base, open the filler cap and fill it without exceeding
the "MAX" mark indicated on the side of the tank (fig C).
• Close the filler cap. You can now plug in your iron.
During steam ironing, there
may be some condensation on
the iron stand ; this will disap-
pear when the iron is left to
cool down on its stand.

• Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water.
However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in
order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
• Position the iron stand, ideally on the corner of the mat (fig A).
Choosing dry or steam ironing
• Turn off the steam by pressing the dry / steam control; use this position
for ironing wool, silks and synthetics.
• For other fabrics, leave the control (fig B) on the steam position.
What water to use?
Do not use these types of water
With its rectangular shape, the
mat enables perfect ironing to
be carried out on the corner of
a suitable heat-resistant table.
Installing the iron stand
NOTE : Reduce the water flow
towards the end of filling
in order to avoid any overflow.
