Use:
♦ Extend the supply cord completely before plugging it in.
♦ Connect the appliance to the mains.
♦ Turn the temperature and steam flow regulator to the
desired temperature position.
♦ The pilot light (D) comes on.
♦ Do not use temperatures higher than those indicated on
the garments to be treated.
● Temperature for synthetic fibres (Polyester,
Nylon...).
●● Temperature for silk and wool.
●●● Temperature for cotton/linen. (Minimum tempera-
ture for steam ironing)
♦ If garment has various kinds of fibres, select the temper-
ature for the fibre that requires the lowest temperature.
(For example, select the temperature for polyester for an
article made out of 60% polyester and 40% cotton).
♦ Wait until the pilot light (D) has gone out which will
indicate that the appliance has reached an adequate
temperature.
♦ During the appliance's use the pilot light will come on
and off automatically, indicating the heating elements
are working, and therefore maintaining the desired
temperature.
Dry ironing:
♦ The appliance has a steam switch (F) that permits dry
ironing (without steam) when placed in the off position.
Steam Ironing:
♦ To avoid leakage of water, wait until the iron has reached
temperature before moving the steam switch (F) to the
on position.
♦ It is possible to iron with steam whenever the water tank
is filled with the steam switch (F) is in the steam position
and the adequate temperature is selected.
Steam blast:
♦ This function proportions extra steam for eliminating
wrinkles.
♦ Press the steam stroke button (A). Wait a few seconds
until vapour penetrates the fibres of the garment before
pushing the button again. For optimum steam quality, do
not apply more than three successive blasts.
♦ The steam stroke button has to be pressed repeatedly to
release the first shot.
(Original instructions)
Once you have finished using the appli-
ance:
♦ Select the minimum position (MIN) using the tempera-
ture and steam flow regulator.
♦ Unplug the appliance from the mains.
♦ Remove the water from the inside of the appliance.
♦ Allow it to cool
♦ Clean the appliance.
Practical recommendations:
♦ Classify the garments into groups by ironing tempera-
ture. The appliance heats up more quickly than it cools
down, therefore, to avoid accidents, minimise energy
consumption and optimise time, it is advisable to start
off ironing items that require lower temperatures and
progress to those that need higher temperatures.
♦ Pure wool fabrics (100%) can be ironed with the iron set
to steam. Select a high steam temperature and place
a cotton cloth between the iron's metal surface and the
garment.
CLEANING
♦ Disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow it to
cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
♦ Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a few drops
of washing-up liquid and then dry.
♦ Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or base pH
such as bleach, or abrasive products, for cleaning the
appliance.
♦ Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid
or place it under running water.
How to deal with lime scale incrustations:
♦ For the appliance to work correctly it should be kept free
of limescale or magnesium incrustations caused by the
use of hard water.
♦ To prevent this issue it is advisable to use distilled water
or water with low lime or magnesium mineralization
♦ However, if it is not possible to use the kind of water
recommended above, you should periodically remove
the limescale from the appliance:
♦ Every 6 weeks if the water is "very hard".
♦ Every 12 weeks if the water is "hard".
♦ To do so, we recommend the use of the specific product
for this kind of appliance, which can be found in special-
ised shops and authorised technical services.
♦ Homemade solutions are not recommended in the decal-
ing of this appliance, such as the use of vinegar.
