INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before steam ironing, make sure the fabric is suitable for this kind of ironing. The machine works
with tap water. In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest using half distilled
water and half tap water. Do not use chemicals or detergents (e.g. perfumed water, fragrances,
scale removers, etc.).
Boiler filling and connection to the electric net
Make sure the appliance is unplugged. Remove the cap of the boiler (1) and fill the tank with water. Some models are
provided with a double safety cap which can't be unscrewed if there's still steam in the boiler. Screw back the cap (1) and
plug the switch in. Attention: never unscrew the cap (1) with the boiler under pression.
Functioning
Press switch (2) to power the boiler. The warning light (3) and, if present, the lamp in the switch will light up. Press switch
(4) to power the iron. If present, the lamp in the switch will light up.
Important: When in use for the first time, the iron may give off some smell and a particular odour
due to the heating and subsequent drying out of the sealants used to assemble the steam generator
and the iron. This will stop in a few minutes. It is advisable to ventilate the room.
Place the iron thermostat knob (5) in the area shown in pictures 1 (model A), 2 (models B), according to the kind of
material to be ironed (picture 5). Wait till the "steam ready" light (3) and the "iron on temperature" light (7) go out before
starting to iron.
N.B.: both warning lights will go on and out during the ironing, according to the temperature reached by the boiler
and the iron. This is part of the normal functioning of the iron and you needn't worry about it.
To obtain the supply of steam, press the steam button (6) placed on the iron.
Note: For greater practicality when using the 'A' type iron, choose to use the upper button rather than the lower,
or vice-versa.
Steam button slide lock (8)
This device allows a continuous output of steam to be obtained by mechanically keeping the steam button pressed, thus
avoiding the need to do so manually. To activate it, just slide it backwards after pressing the button (6). To unlock the
button push the slide lock forwards to its original place.
The iron A is provided with a special device which allows you to have a steam supply "on the whole plate" or
"concentrated on the tip". If you want a steam supply "on the whole plate", press the steam supply button (6) with the iron
in a horizontal position. If you keep the button (6) pressed and move the iron in a vertical position, the steam supply will
continue "on the whole plate" (picture 3). If you want a steam supply "concentrated on the tip", press the steam supply
button (6) with the iron in a vertical position. If you keep the button (6) pressed and move the iron in a horizontal position,
the steam supply will continue "concentrated on the tip" (picture 4).
WARNING: the iron-steam generator connecting hose may become hot.
Refilling of water into the boiler
When the boiler tank runs out of water the steam emission stops. To refill the boiler follow these instructions.
Turn the boiler off using the switch (2). Let the remaining steam off by pushing the button (6) piaced on the iron handle.
Turn the iron off using the switch (4).
Unplug the appliance. Allow the appliance to cool down for a few minutes. Refill the boiler as indicated in the "boiler
filling" paragraph.
