2. PREPARING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1. Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant work surface.
2. Remove the water tank by pulling the handles upwards (1).
3. Fill the water tank taking care not to exceed the maximum level (2).
4. Replace it pushing firmly down in its housing (3).
The water to use in your steam generator :
Your steam generator has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However,
if your water is very hard, mix it 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised
water.
Types of water not to use :
Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water
listed below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting,
brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance : water from clothes dryers, scented or
softened water, water from refigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered
or bottled water. Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised above.
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 rapidly.
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. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam
valve opening. Again this is normal. If you are pressing on the steam control button at this time you may
lose a little steam pressure momentarily.
3 • USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1. Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed
socket (4).
2. Press on the on / off switch (located on the front of the base unit) (a): the green light (located on
the control panel) flashes and the boiler heats up (b).It will take around 2 minutes for steam to be
produced which is indicated when the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (5).

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND STEAM OUTPUT CONTROL DIAL ACCORDING TO
THE TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
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,
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 (
•••
or Max).
- Mixed fibre fabrics : set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
- Woollen garments : press repeatedly on the steam control button to obtain short bursts of
steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself. This will avoid making the fabric shiny.
• Steam output control dial setting :
- Thick fabric : increase the steam setting.
- At a low temperature : set the steam output control dial to the low position.
• Dry ironing :
- Do not press the steam control button beneath the iron handle. Do not press the “Precision
Steam Jet” button or humid steam button on the iron handle (according to the model).
• If you are using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
• Ironing board :
For best results a mesh type ironing board should be used to allow any excess steam to escape.
GB
It is recommended that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low
temperature: synthetics (
).
To obtain steam, press on the steam control button beneath the iron
handle and keep it pressed (8). The steam will stop when you release
the button.
For delicate fabrics (
), press the steam control button
(under the handle of the iron) intermittently to avoid possible
water droplets appearing with the steam.
6 • WHEN THE RED LIGHT «WATER TANK EMPTY»
COMES ON
There is no more steam. The removable water tank is empty (9).
1. Remove the water tank and fill it up.
2. Ensure the water tank is replaced securely pushing firmly down
into place and press the boiler “Restart” button located on the
control panel to continue your ironing.
(8)
(9)
9 • “PRECISION STEAM JET” FUNCTION
(DEPENDING ON THE MODEL)
Your generator has a “Precision Steam Jet” function, allowing you to:
- Iron the most hard-to-reach areas (such as button holes, shirt cuffs and collars, darts in trousers,
the inside of jacket and coat sleeves);
- Soften the fibres before ironing, when the fabric is very creased.
Use:
- With the iron on the ironing board,
press the “Precision Steam Jet”
button on the iron handle 2 or 3 times
to obtain short, powerful bursts of steam
at the front of the iron (12);
- Then iron the fabric using steam from
the soleplate to smooth the fibres,
by pressing the steam control button
beneath the iron handle (13).
(13)(12)
GB
7 • VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
1. Set the iron temperature control and the steam output control dial (located on the control panel)
to the maximum position.
2. Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
As steam is very hot, never attempt to remove creases from a garment
while it is being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.
3. Holding the iron in a vertical position, press repeatedly on the steam
control button (beneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top
to bottom (10).
Recommendations:
For fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few cen-
timetres from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.
Be careful :
Use the humid steam function very carefully because of
the exceptional power of steam that may cause burns.
8 • HUMID STEAM FUNCTION (DEPENDING ON THE MODEL)
The humid steam button adds water vapour to the steam output.
Press 2 or 3 times on the humid steam button (11) to obtain a more
powerful, heavier burst of steam :
for ironing thicker fabrics,
• to eliminate creases,
for powerful vertical steam ironing.
(10)
(11)
10 • MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
• Before cleaning, ensure that the appliance is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest
have cooled down.
• Do not use any cleaning or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Do not place the iron on a metal rest as this could damage it.
Place it on the iron rest on the base unit : it has non-slip pads and has been designed to with-
stand high temperatures.
1. The removable water tank: Empty and rinse the removable water tank (14)
2. The Iron soleplate
You can clean the soleplate of your iron, once it has cooled down,
with a damp cloth or sponge.
If the soleplate is badly soiled, we recommend one of the commercially
available specialist cleaning products.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive products for cleaning the soleplate.
Do not place the iron on a rough support.
During pauses in ironing, always place the iron on the rest plate provided
on the steam generator.
3. The base unit: Clean the plastic parts occasionally with a soft cloth.
11 • THE ORANGE “BOILER RINSE”
LIGHT FLASHES
I - TO RINSE THE BOILER USING RINSING ACCESSORY
GB
Note:
To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler and avoid scale particles on your linen, your
generator is equipped with an orange “boiler rinse warning light that flashes on the control
panel after about 10 uses.
• If your water is hard, increase the frequency.
• Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.
For greater effectiveness and for ease of operation, you are advised to use the rinsing
accessory provided in the box. It will make it easier to rinse the boiler as the generator will
need less handling.
Your rinsing accessory has been designed to work on a wide range of taps.
It is supplied with 2 types of membrane (a) (b). Choose the one best suited to your tap.
If you do not wish to, or cannot use the rinsing accessory, refer to the advice in paragraph II.
