Preparations
Remove any labels or protective covering
from the soleplate (13).
For further details on the following actions,
please refer to the related chapters in this user
manual.
• With the iron unplugged, fill the tank (11) of the
iron with tap water and set the temperature
control (15) to “max”.
• Plug in the appliance to the mains.
• When the iron has reached the desired
temperature, the green light (5) stops flashing
and the clear light (3) starts flashing. Grip the
handle (1) and set the steam control to the
maximum position “max”.
• Hold the iron horizontally and repeatedly press
the shot of steam button (6). Some residue
may come out of the soleplate (13).
• If necessary, carefully clean the soleplate (13)
down with a dry, folded cotton cloth.
• When using the steam function for the first
time, do not use it on your laundry, as there
may still be dirt in the steam dispenser.
• When turned on for the first time, your new iron
may smell and emit a little smoke and a few
particles; this will stop after a few minutes.
• This appliance is to be connected and used in
accordance with the information stated on its
characteristics plate.
• This appliance must be connected to an
earthed socket. If it is absolutely necessary to
use an extension cable, make sure that it is
suitable for 16A and has a socket with an earth
connection.
• If the safety fuse fitted in the appliance blows,
the appliance will be rendered inoperative. To
restore normal operation the appliance will
have to be taken to an authorised Technical
Service Centre.
• In order to avoid that, under unfavourable
mains conditions, phenomena like transient
voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can
happen, it is recommended that the iron is
connected to a power supply system with a
maximum impedance of 0.27Ω . If necessary,
the user can ask the public power supply
company for the system impedance at the
interface point.
• The appliance must never be placed directly
under the tap to fill the water tank.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains supply
after each use, or if a fault is suspected.
• The electrical plug must not be removed from
the socket by pulling the cable.
• Never immerse the iron in water or any other
fluid.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to weather
conditions (rain, sun, frost, etc.)
• While the steam is being released, the iron
produces a pumping sound. This is normal,
indicating that water is being pumped to the
steam chamber.
