If the iron has not been used for a long time, it is advisable to keep it in a horizontal
position and send a few shots of steam to the floor in order to stabilize the jet before
ironing.
Steam adjustment
The appliance is equipped with a regulator (U) which allows the steam output to be
adjusted from a minimum to a maximum according to ironing requirements.
Shot of steam
For ironing thicker fabrics and for a potent anti-crease action in vertical position, it is
possible to operate the turbo steam function. Make sure that there is water is in the tank
(B) and in the iron tank (M). Place the control knob (U) on the MAX value. Wait for the
steam ready light (S) to turn on. Set the ironing temperature by turning the adjustment
knob (M) past the symbol (•••). Wait for the indicator lamp (O) of the iron to turn off. Press
deeply the steam button (L) from 3 to 5 seconds (Fig. 11). If the steam supply button
(L) is operated continuously for more than 30 seconds, drops of water may come from
the steam holes in the plate of the iron. It is recommended that the button (L) is used for
shorter periods.
Continuous steam
Turn the steam adjustment knob (U) to MAX. Wait for the steam ready light (S) to turn on.
Set the ironing temperature by turning the adjustment knob (M) past the symbol (•••).
Wait for the indicator lamp (O) of the iron to turn off. When the temperature is reached,
press the steam button (L) Fig. 12. The cursor (K) will lock the button, making the jet of
steam exit continuously and steadily. To unlock the button (L) and stop the continuous jet,
press the cursor (K) forward (Fig. 14).
Temperature selection
First check whether the fabric has a label containing ironing instructions and compare
the symbol with the instructions which follow. If there is no label with instructions, but you
know the type of material, follow the instructions below.
Note that the table refers to fabrics not treated with sizing agents or similar products; if
they have been, you can also iron at a lower temperature.
When you change the temperature by turning the adjustment knob (M), the light (O) will
turn on and stay on until the iron reaches the new temperature.
Filling the boiler during use
Always check the level of water in the tank while you are ironing.
Add enough water to the tank so that the water level is always visible. Do not go
past the MAX level.
If the tank remains without water, you will notice a vibration and a louder noise. Turn off
the appliance by pressing the switches (T) and (V). unplug it from the electric outlet.
Warning!
Always turn off the appliance and remove the power cable plug from the socket-
outlet before filling the tank with water.
Add water directly in the tank (Fig. 7). Insert the plug into the electrical outlet and turn on
the appliance again.
If the appliance is not switched off promptly, overheating of the pump could cause a
momentary stoppage of the appliance.
Therefore it is necessary to switch off the appliance and fill the tank. Wait about an hour
for the appliance to cool down and resumes normal operation.
Spray button
Make sure there is water in the tank of the iron (N). Press the spray button (J). To enable
this feature you may need to press the spray button repeatedly (Fig. 15).
Dry ironing
Then, to iron dry - i.e. without steam - all you have to do is turn the iron on by pressing
the switch (V) after connecting it to the supply mains. Place the steam control knob to the
minimum and adjust the temperature control knob (M) to the desired temperature. Do not
press the steam button.
Vertical ironing
You can use the jet of continuous steam for ironing hanging fabrics. This special ironing
procedure serves to remove creases from curtains, fabrics, etc... Turn the steam
adjustment knob (U) to MAX. Wait for the steam ready light (S) to turn on. Set the ironing
temperature by turning the adjustment knob (M) past the symbol (•••). Put the curtain or
fabric in the position you want to iron it vertically and press the steam button.
Warning!
Do not iron fabrics held by other people.
