Intended use

The appliance must be used only for ironing
garments which are suitable for ironing according to
the care label. In addition the appliance can be
used for refreshing. Never iron or dampen garments
while wearing them.

Before first use

Take the unit out of the carton. Remove all pieces of
the packing. Remove any possibly extant labels on
the unit (do not remove the rating plate).
When steam is ready for the first time we recommend
to iron for a few minutes over a rag to avoid
manufacturing residues can dirty your garments.
(A) Filling the water tank
• Make sure that the appliance is switched off and
the system is unplugged.
• Open the filler spout of the water tank (6).
• Fill the water tank with tap water, taking care not
to exceed the "max" level but at least up to the
mark "min" otherwise the appliance is not ready
to start ironing. If you have extremely hard water,
we recommend that you use a mixture of 50 %
tap water and 50 % distilled water.
• Never use distilled water exclusively. Do not add
any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use
condensation water from a tumble dryer.
• Close the filler spout of the water tank.
• Place the appliance on a stable, level surface.
Note:
If you use filtering devices or in-house
permanent descaler, make absolutely sure the
water obtained is neutral ph.

linen. Note: when this icon is flashing, the steam
function is deactivated.
• Once the conditions have been reached, the icon
will stay permanently on.
• The iron will start to heat up: During this, the
temperature control light on the iron (11) turns
