Locking system for retaining the iron on the base (Lock-system)

• Your steam generator is equipped with a retaining hoop which locks the iron on

its base for easier transport and storage –

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

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.

Filling the water tank

• Place your steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal heat-resistant surface.

• Grasp the handle of the removable tank and pull horizontally to remove it –

fig.4.

• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark – fig.5.

• Replace it firmly in its housing, making sure it is fully into place –

fig.6.

Using your steam generator

• Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its storage space– fig.23.

• Lower the retaining hoop (depending on model) to unlock the safety catch – fig.3.

• Plug in your steam generator to an earthed socket.

• Press on the on / off switch. The green light (located on the control panel) flashes

and the boiler heats up –

fig.7.

When the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (after 2 minutes approximately),

the appliance is ready.

Use

Steam ironing

•

Place the iron's temperature control slide according to the type of fabric to be ironed

(see table below).

• The thermostat light comes on. Be careful ! The steam generator is ready when the

thermostat light goes out and when the green “steam ready” light stays on.

• Adjust the steam output control dial (located on the control panel).

• While ironing, the light on top of the iron turns on and off, as the temperature adjusts

without interrupting ironing.

• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button on the iron handle –

fig.8.

The steam will stop when you release the button.

• 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.

• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

If you have very hard water, it

is recommended that you mix

50% untreated tap water with

store bought distilled or

demineralised water in the

following proportions : 50%

untreated tap water, 50%

distilled or demineralised

water.

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.
