USE

3 • Switching on your steam

generator

Press on the on / off switch - fig.4, it

begins flashing. The green light (located

on the control panel) flashes and the

boiler heats up.

When starting, and regularly while it is

being used, your steam generator's

electric pump injects water into the boiler.

It makes a noise but this is quite normal.

The steam generator and the iron are

ready for use when the steam indicator

light is on and the iron light goes out.

4 •

Operating the control panel

• Flashing green light - fig.6 : the water is

heating up in the boiler.

• Continuous green light - fig.7 : steam is

ready for use.

• Continuous red light - fig.11 : the water

tank is empty.

• The “Calc-Away System” orange

indicator flashes - fig. 13 : the collector

needs to be rinsed.

5 • Using your steam

generator

Place the iron’s temperature control -

fig.5 to the type of fabric to be ironed and

set the steam output - fig.6. The iron

temperature control light turns on.

ECO Mode: Your steam genera-

tor iron has an ECO mode func-

tion which uses less power*

whilst still guaranteeing a suffi-

cient steam flow for you to iron

your garments properly. In order to use this

function, once the thermostat of your iron

has been correctly set (see table above), po-

sition the steam flow setting on the ECO

segment. The ECO mode can be used on all

types of fabrics, nevertheless for very thick

or very creased fabrics, we recommend that

you use the maximum steam flow for best

results.

While ironing, the light on top of the iron

and the steam ready light turn on and

off, as the temperature adjusts without

interrupting ironing. To obtain steam,

press on the steam control button

beneath the iron handle and keep it

pressed - fig.8. The steam will stop when

you release the button.

Always spray starch on the reverse side

of the fabric to be ironed.

The first time the appliance is used,

there may be some fumes and smell but

this is not harmful. They will not affect

use and will disappear quickly.

Recommendations: To prime the

steam circuit, either before using the

iron for the first time, or if you have

not used the steam function for a few

minutes, press the steam control

button several times in a row - fig.8,

holding the iron away from your

clothes. This will enable any cold

water to be removed from the steam

circuit.

Iron temperature control setting: Start

with fabrics to be ironed at a low

temperature and finish with those

which need higher temperatures. Each

time you change fabrics, wait for the

light to turn off. Mixed fibre fabrics:

set the ironing temperature to the

setting for the most delicate fabric.

Woollen garments: press repeatedly
