1 - WARNING FOR SAFE IRONING
Voltage. Your iron is designed for 120V only. Check that the power supply corresponds to the one
shown on the rating plate of the appliance.
If the iron is dropped, have it checked by an Approved After Sales Service Center before using it again.
Non-visible damage might have occured and could endanger your safety.
Never disassemble the appliance yourself : contact an approved After Sales Service Center.

2 - PRACTICAL TIPS

What water should be used?
Your iron is designed to function with tap water. However, you should regularly carry out auto-cleaning
of the steam chamber to remove any scale deposits.
If you have very calcareous (hard) water (you can check this with your water supplier), you can mix
tap water with commercially-available demineralized water in the proportions:
- 50% tap water
- 50% demineralized water.
Why not use other types of water?
The heat concentrates the elements contained in the water through evaporation. The types of water
listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements which may cause spitting, brown streaks or
premature ageing of your iron:
commercially-available demineralized water on its own, water from spin-dryers, scented water, softe-
ned water, water from refrigerators, water for batteries, rainwater, water from air, air conditioning units,
distilled water.
Using spray starch
If you are using starch, spray it preferably on the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed. Also, allow it
to dry into the cloth rather than ironing while the laundry is still damp from the starch. Regularly clean
the iron soleplate while slightly warm, with a damp, non-abrasive pad. Then wipe with a soft cloth to
remove any deposit. Do not use abrasive scouring pads, scouring powders or iron soleplate cleaner.
3 - FILLING THE WATER TANK - GETTING STARTED
First make sure that:
- the iron is unplugged
- the anti-clogging valve (C) is fully inserted
- The adjustable steam control is set to O
Open the sliding water inlet cover (D).
Fill the tank as shown in the fig. 1. To avoid spilling, do not exceed the "max" filling mark indicated
on the tank (7 oz - 200 ml), by standing the iron on its heel.
Close the water inlet cover.
