Label Ironing instructions
• Fill up the tank with water before starting up the appliance. Be sure to unplug the
appliance before pouring water into the tank.
• When filling the water tank, always use the measuring cup (P) provided. Never put
the iron directly underneath the tap.
• Close the cover after filling, making sure that it is perfectly closed.
• Turn on the appliance only when it is in working position.
• The appliance may give out a little smoke when used for the first time. This transitory effect is perfectly normal and is due to the fact that some of components have
been slightly lubricated.
• Place the appliance on a stable and well-lit horizontal surface during use.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the power supply.
• The appliance must be used and rested on a stable surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface it sits on is stable.
• When you have to leave for even a short period of time, turn off the iron, place it
on its stand and always unplug the power cord.
• The appliance is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible sign
of damage or if it is leaking. To prevent any accident, all repairs, including the
replacement of the power cord, must be carried out by an Authorised Service
Centre or, in any case, by qualified personnel.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Warning!
Before cleaning, always disconnect the plug from the power point and allow
the iron to cool down.
Warning!
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
Warning!
Check the state of the power cable of your iron on a regular basis before using it, and if it is damaged, take it to the service centre closest to you to have
it replaced only by specialised personnel.
Fill the tank one-fourth full with water using the measuring cup (P) provided (Fig. 5).
Set the iron on a stable surface in a vertical position on the iron stand (H). Plug it into
the socket. Make sure the steam adjustment selector is set on “0”.
Position the temperature adjustment knob on “MAX”.
Heat the iron until the lamp (E) turns off a second time.
Position the temperature adjustment knob on “MIN”.
Unplug the iron and keep the iron in a horizontal position on a sink.
Press the SELF CLEAN button (M) and keep the iron in a horizontal position. Steam
and boiling water will come out of the holes of the soleplate. They will remove the
lime deposits and impurities that have accumulated inside the soleplate.
Gently move the iron back and forth until the tank is completely emptied.
Put the steam adjustment selector back on minimum “0” at the end of the self-cleaning procedure.
Put the iron in a vertical position on its stand and wait for the soleplate to cool down
completely.
Make sure that the soleplate is completely dry before storing the iron.
Before using the iron again, try it on an old piece of cloth to make sure that the
soleplate and tank are clean and to allow residual water to vaporize.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Filling the tank before use
Warning
Make sure the iron is unplugged from the supply mains before filling the tank
with water.
Set the steam control knob (B) onto “0” (Fig. 2).
Open the door (A) by pushing it upwards and, holding the iron horizontally, fill the
water tank up to the maximum level using the measuring cup (P) provided (Fig. 5).
Close the cover (A) again. If your tap water is very hard, use natural demineralized
water.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by clogging due to lime
Cleaning the soleplate and shell
Warning!
Do not use abrasives for cleaning the soleplate. Try and keep the soleplate smooth: avoid contact with metal objects.
Deposits and other residues on the soleplate can be removed with a rough cloth
soaked in a vinegar/water solution.
Clean plastic parts with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry them with a dry cloth.
NEVER exceed the MAX mark when filling the tank.
It is possible that there white powder leaks from the soleplate the first time
the iron is used; this is normal, and the effect will disappear after a few jets
of steam.
Rest the iron upright on the iron stand (H) (Fig. 7).
Plug it into the socket. The temperature control lamp (E) turns on.
Select the desired temperature by turning the temperature adjustment knob (F),
lining it up with the reference (I) on the iron. When the iron reaches the selected
temperature, the lamp (E) turns off (the temperature lamp turns off and on while
ironing, indicating that the iron is maintaining the right temperature).
Follow the instructions on the care label of the garment to be ironed so that the dots
shown on the iron correspond to those shown on the label.
Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool,
cotton with cotton, etc…
Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is advisable
to start with those fabrics which require lower temperatures and move on to those
which require progressively higher temperatures.

You may notice a delay in the formation of steam the first time the iron is used;
this is normal, and is because the water starts to circulate inside the iron. It
may be necessary to press the steam and spray button a few times for it to
operate correctly.

CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ
The mark on the label means do not iron
• Remove any labels and protections from the soleplate before using the appliance
for the first time.
• Always unwind the power cord before use.
• The use of extensions not approved by the manufacturer can result in damage to
property and personal injury.
• Do not use sparkling (carbonated) water. If your water supply is very hard, we
suggest you use demineralised water instead. • Do not place the iron on top of the power cord when it is hot.
• Do not bend the power cord protection when it is wrapped around the iron: the
cord could break with time.
• Do not pull the power cord to unplug the appliance.
• The appliance must only be cleaned with a soft, slightly damped, cloth after unplugging the iron and allowing all its parts to cool down. Never use solvents which
may damage the plastic parts.
• Do not wrap the power cord around the soleplate when the iron is hot.
• Do not put the soleplate in contact with metal surfaces.
• Always turn off the iron by turning the thermostat knob to the position MIN and by
unplugging the power cord before removing the tank to fill it with water or to empty
it, before cleaning the iron, and immediately following use.
• Always take off the appliance turning the temperature control knob to “MIN” and
disconnect the main plug from the wall socket before filling the iron with water or
pouring the remaining water out.
• Do not expose the appliance to atmospheric agents (rain, sun …).

Danger of damage originating from other
causes
Read these instructions carefully.
• Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, ensure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate matches the local voltage supply.
• Always connect the iron to an earthed socket.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
• Do not start ironing if your hands are wet or if you are barefoot.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS
If the material is made up of more than one type of fibre, always set the temperature
to the fibre which requires less heat. For example, if the material is made up of 70%
synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to position ( ) (see table)
without steam, that is, the temperature for synthetic fabrics.
If you do not know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a part of the
article which will not be seen. Do a test ironing on this part to establish the appropriate temperature (always start with a relatively low temperature and work up until the
ideal temperature is reached).
Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one of the steam positions. To avoid pure wool, silk and synthetic materials becoming shiny, it makes good
sense to iron them on the reverse side. For other materials, especially velvet, which
can become shiny very easily, cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction only,
using light pressure. The iron must be kept constantly moving over the fabric.
