Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used to allow any excess steam to escape
and to avoid steam venting sideways.
What water may be used ?
• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The
types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that
can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: water
from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators,
batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water
should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled
water.
If your water is very hard
(check with your local
water authority) it is
possible to mix untreated
tap water with store-
bought distilled or
demineralised water in the
following proportions :
50% untreated tap water,
50% distilled or
demineralised water.
Your steam generator is equipped with a retaining clip which locks the iron on its
casing for easier transport and storage – fig.1:
• Locking – fig.2
• Unlocking – fig.3
To carry your steam generator by the iron handle:
- place the iron on the iron rest of the generator and raise the retaining hoop over the iron
until it locks into place (audible click) – fig.2
- grasp the handle of the iron to carry your steam generator – fig.1
Preparation
• Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the
iron rest have cooled down.
• Open the water tank filler cover– fig.4.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark – fig.5.
• Close the water tank filler cover.
Using the Easycord system (according to model)
• Your iron is equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from
dragging over the laundry and creasing it again when ironing.
• Take the steam cord out of its housing and unwind it completely.
• Remove the tie to release the cord outlet.
• Press the Eject button – fig.6 and the Easycord system extends automatically.
• When the cord outlet tips, the Easycord system extends automatically without
you having to press the Eject button.
