Tips to help you
save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To
help minimise the energy used, follow the advice
below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the
lowest ironing temperature.
Check the recommended ironing temperature
in the label on the garment.
• Regulate the steam according to the selected
ironing temperature, following the instructions
in this manual.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp
and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be
generated from the fabrics rather than the iron.
If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing
them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’
programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the
steam regulator completely.
Advice on disposal
Our goods come in optimised packaging. This
basically consists in using non-contaminating
materials which should be handed over to the
local waste disposal service as secondary raw
materials. Your local town council can give you
information about how to dispose of obsolete
appliances.
This appliance is labelled in
accordance with European Directive
2012/19/EU concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic
equipment - WEEE).
The guideline determines the framework for
the return and recycling of used appliances
as applicable throughout the EU.
c) Fill the tank with tap water.
d) Plug in the mains cable and set the main
power switch (12) to the “I” position (illuminated
in red)
e) Wait until the “steam ready” indicator lamp (9)
lights up.
f) If the steam station has steam regulator (10*),
set it to the maximum position.
g) Hold the iron over the sink or a container to
collect the water.
h) Press the steam release button (16) and gently
shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will
come out, carrying scale and or deposits that
might be there. This could take approximately 5
minutes.
i) Set the temperature selector (15) of the iron to
the “max” position, without pressing the steam
release button (16). The water in the steam
chamber will start evaporating. Wait until all the
water inside the chamber has been evaporated.
j) To clean the soleplate, immediately rub off any
residue by running the hot iron over dry cotton
cloth.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Attention! Risk of burns!
Always unplug the appliance from the mains
supply before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance operation on it.
1. After ironing, pull out the plug and allow the
appliance to cool down before cleaning.
2. Wipe the housing, handle and iron body with a
damp cotton cloth.
3. If the soleplate is soiled with dirt or scale, clean
it with a damp cotton cloth.
4. If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the
high temperature on the soleplate (19). Switch
off the steam and rub off any residue
immediately with a thickly folded, dry cotton
cloth.
5. Never use abrasive products or solvents. To
keep the soleplate (19) smooth, you should
avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never
use a scouring pad, or chemicals to clean the
soleplate.
