suggestions before using
the iron for the first time
1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased; therefore the iron could give off a little
smoke when plugged in for the first time. This will cease after a short while.
2. Before using the iron for the first time, remove the plastic protector from the soleplate (if
present). Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the soleplate very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (such as against the
uncovered ironing board, buttons, zips etc).
4. Pure wool garments (100% wool) can be ironed with the appliance in the steam position. You
should select preferently a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth.
preparing for use
How to fill the water tank
1. Unplug the iron.
2. Set the steam button to the dry ironing position. (Fig. 1)
3. Fill the tank through the filling hole. (Fig. 2)
- If water from the tap is too hard, it is advisable to use only distilled or demineralized water.
- Do not use chemically de-scaled or perfumed water.
Always empty the iron from the excess water remaining in the tank before storing it.
