IRONING INSTRUCTIONS  
Connect the iron to a suitable mains supply outlet.  
Turn the temperature control (8) to the “2 dots”, “3  
dots” or “MAX” setting.  
CHOICE OF WATER  
This iron can be used with normal tap water.  
If the water in your area is particularly hard, it is  
advisable to use distilled or de-mineralized water.  
Do not use chemically de-scaled water or any other  
liquids for refilling.  
The pilot light turns off when the required temperature  
is reached. The iron is ready for use.  
Turn the steam button (6) to the required position,  
steam starts coming out from the holes in the  
soleplate.  
HOW TO FILL IN WATER  
Note: With conventional steam ironing, water may leak  
from the soleplate if a too low temperature has been  
selected. If this happens, turn the temperature control  
(8) to the advised position. Steam will recommence  
as soon as the appropriate temperature has been  
reached.  
Unplug the iron from the wall outlet.  
Press the steam control button (6) down, so that the  
steam won’t come out.  
Fill in the water through the inlet.  
Do not fill the water past the maximum level “MAX” of  
the water tank. This may cause your iron to leak.  
Important: Remove the water after use.  
DRY IRONING  
1. Connect the iron to a suitable mains supply outlet.  
2. Ensure that the steam control knob (6) is in position  
“O”.  
TEMPERATURE CONTROL SETTING  
Always check first to see whether a label with ironing  
instructions is attached to the article to be ironed.  
Follow these instructions in all cases.  
3. Select the setting on the temperature control (8).  
4. When the pilot light turns off, the required  
temperature is reached. The iron is ready for use.  
First you should sort the laundry: Wool with wool,  
Cotton with cotton etc. Start ironing the fabrics  
requiring the lowest temperature and progress to  
the higher ones because the iron heats up quicker  
than it cools down. If the fabric consists of various  
kinds of fibres (e.g. cotton with polyester) you must  
always select the lowest ironing temperature for the  
composition of those fibres.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
1. Disconnect the iron from the wall outlet and let it cool  
down completely.  
2. Deposits and other residues on the soleplate can be  
removed with a rough cloth soaked in a vinegar/water  
solution.

then polished with a dry one.  
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
