Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature control
light (9) comes on at intervals, indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat
temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate temperature control light comes on
again.
Selecting the steam.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).
- Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending on the quantity of steam required
and the temperature selected [Fig. 1].
Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous
steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the steam selector to “0”. As indicated on the thermostat
knob (11) and in the initial table, you can only use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is
too low, water may drip onto the plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically.
Press the shot-steam button (5) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the
most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again [Fig. 4].
By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung garments, etc.) [Fig. 5].
Warning: the shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emission when the plate
temperature control light (9) comes on, than start ironing again only after the light has gone off.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section “steam ironing”, leaving the steam selector (3) on position “0”.
Spray Function
Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button (4) slowly (for a dense spray) or quickly . spray)
[Fig.
Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using the spray function (4), or putting
a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.
CLEANING
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance plug is not connected to the socket.
Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or an unabrasive liquid
detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.
SELF-CLEANING
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the plate, removing impurities. We recommend using it every 10-15days.
Directions:
-Fill the reservoir up to the maximum level indicated and set the steam selector
-Set the thermostat knob (11) to the maximum temperature and wait for the light (6) to turn off.
-Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
-Hold the cleanout button (12) setting until all the boiling water, steam, impurities come out [Fig. 7].
-When the soleplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth.
HOW TO PUT IT AWAY
- Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket.
- Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
- Leave the iron to cool down completely.
- Roll up the power cord with the rewinder [Fig. 8].
- Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush,
etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature of the fibre requiring the
lower temperature.
If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by testing on a hidden corner of the
garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes the stains on the fabric, making
them irremovable.
The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat scorches it with the risk of
forming a yellow mark.
To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.
To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fibre) and do not press down on
the iron.
