Anti-calc system
A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens
the water and prevents scale build-up in the plate. The
resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing.
Please note:
Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralised water
makes the "Zero-Calc" anti-calc system ineffective by
altering its physicochemical characteristics.
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or
decalcifiers. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned
regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.
Anti-drip system
With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even
the most delicate fabrics.
Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate
may cool down to the point where no more steam comes
out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave
marks or stains. In these cases, the Anti-drip system
automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that
you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of
spoiling or staining them.
Automatic shut off (only es2377-01 es2377-02 )
The automatic shut off device trips after the iron has
been left for approx. eight minutes in the upright position
or unused for approx. Thirty seconds in the horizontal
position. The light comes on to indicate that shut off has
tripped. As soon as you move the iron, the device turns
off and the iron starts working again.
General instructions
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a
slight emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by
the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops
after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron
over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.
Preparations
Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the
international symbols on the garment label, or if this is
missing, according to the type of fabric.

Fabric not to be ironed
Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time
to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of
scorching the fabric.
Steam ironing
Filling the reservoir
- Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
- Move the steam selector (D) to "0" [Fig. 1].
- Open the lid (C).
- Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the
opening without overflowing.
- Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the
special measure and taking care not to go over the
maximum level (about 240ml) indicated by "MAX" on the
reservoir [Fig. 2].
- Close the lid (C).
Selecting the temperature.
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (I) according to the
international symbol on the garment label [Fig. 3]. The
plate temperature control light (H) indicates that the iron
is heating up. Wait until the plate temperature control
light goes off before ironing.
Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature control
light (H) comes on at intervals, indicating that the selected
temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat
temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not
start ironing until the plate temperature control light
comes on again.
Selecting the steam.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector
(D).
- Move the steam selector to a position between
minimum and maximum depending on the quantity of
steam required and the temperature selected [Fig. 1].
Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you
hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous
steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by
moving the steam selector to "0FF". As indicated on the
thermostat knob (I) and in the initial table, you can only
use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected
temperature is too low, water may drip onto the plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing
vertically.
Press the shot-steam button (F) to generate a powerful
burst of steam that can penetrate the fabrics and
