WHAT WATER MAY BE USED ?
• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check with
your local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated
tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The
types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause
spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance : water from clothes dryers,
scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure
distilled or demineralized water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not
use boiled, filtered or bottled water.
IRONING BOARD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be
used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.
USE
1 • Filling the water tank
2 • Setting the temperature
• Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam function, it automatically
adjusts the steam amount and the temperature based on the selected
fabric for optimum results.
• Select the fabric to be ironed on the temperature control dial. For
perfect results, an optimum position for each fabric has been pre de-
fined. This position is marked on the dial and also represented with a
louder "click" sound. You can also set your iron based on the interna-
tional temperature measurements •, ••, •••. Ensure your temperature
control dial is positioned on these settings.
• When your iron reaches the required temperature, the thermostat in-
dicator turns off.
• You can start ironing.
IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up.
We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low tem-
perature. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most deli-
cate fabric.
