Before use

Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate protector!
Before ironing for the first time heat the appliance at the
maximum setting (see D "Setting the temperature").
A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this
is only temporary. The water tank can then be filled
directly (see C "Filling with water/topping up").
Before ironing for the first time and after filling and hea-
ting up, the iron should be allowed to emit steam for at
least 1 minute to remove any impurities.
C
Filling/topping up water
Before filling the water tank, pull out the mains plug and
set the steam control to position
Tilt the iron. The filler inlet can easily be opened by pres-
sing the push-button. The inlet will open with a "click".
Pour in water up to the max (9) mark. Close the filler inlet
by pressing the push-button again, before returning the
iron to the horizontal.
What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using tap water.
However, if your water is very hard, you can mix it 50%
tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
Do not add anything to the contents of the water tank
and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented or
softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air
conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water. These
contain organic waste or mineral elements that become
concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown
staining or premature water to your iron.

Setting the temperature

Ironing label
Using the temperature control dial, set the iron tempera-
ture to suit the type of material. We recommend using
the above table as a guide. The thermostat light indicates
that the soleplate is heating up. It will go off as soon as
the set temperature is reached.
Tip: We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed
at a low temperature as the iron takes longer to cool
down than to heat up. For mixed fabrics set the tempe-
rature for the most delicate fabric.
