When  the  water  in  the  tank  has  run  out,  the

pump becomes noisier. This is part of normal

operation and is not a cause for concern. Howe-

ver, as described above, you should immediately

top up the water in the tank.

•  To dry iron, turn the appliance on by pres-

sing the 

button F .

•  Turn the thermostat knob to select the most

suitable temperature for the garments being

ironed and wait for the “iron at temperature” 

light to go off. 

To  optimise  operation,  maintain  constant  ste-

am  production  over  time  and  save  energy,

rinse the steam generator with water after eve-

ry  10  ironing  sessions.  Proceed  as  follows:

•  Make  sure  the  appliance  is  turned  off,  un-

plugged  from  the  mains  and  completely 

cold. 

•  Turn the protective cap B on the side of the

appliance clockwise and remove it (fig. 6).

•  Use  a  coin  or  screwdriver  to  unscrew  the

steam generator cap (fig. 7).

•  Rest the appliance on its side (fig. 8) and fill

with a maximum of 0.7 litres of water using

a funnel to avoid the water spilling outside

the steam generator. 

•  Shake the appliance to rinse the entire steam

generator, then throw the water away.

•  Repeat the rinse procedure.

•  Screw the cap back on, making sure it clo-

ses the steam generator efficiently.

•  Replace the protective cap B.

Before  resuming  ironing,  discharge  steam

into the air for a few seconds to completely 

eliminate any residues from the internal cir-

cuits. 

•  The surface of the plate must be kept clean.

To clean, just wipe the cold surface with a

damp cloth. 

•  The iron must never be treated with desca-

ling products.

After finishing ironing, you should put the iro-

ning  system  away  with  the  door  tightly  closed 

to avoid dust and foreign bodies falling into the

tank and possibly jeopardising operation of the

pump. Place the iron on the iron rest (in the se-

cured position for models with domestic iron (B)

) and wait for the system to cool down before

putting it away. 

To put the appliance away tidily, fix the steam/ca-

ble tube to the hook B and wind the power cable

around the cable tidy D (fig. 9).

Store the iron in a dry place.

•  After ironing, the water remaining in the tank

need not be drained.

However, the appliance should be drained of

water if left unused for long periods.

•  The original appearance and softness of fa-

brics such as velvet or wool, or gloves, bags

etc.  can  be  restored  by  passing  the  iron  a

short  distance  away  with  the  steam  jet  in

operation.

•  Do not rest or use the iron on zips, hooks,

rings etc to avoid scratching the sole plate.

•  Separate  clothes  according  to  the  recom-

mended ironing temperature and begin iro-

ning with items requiring the lowest tempe-

ratures.

•  Silk may be dry-pressed on the reverse.

•  Wool,  cotton  and  fine  linen  can  either  be

steam-ironed on the reverse or on the right

side,  interposing  a  thin  cloth  between  the

iron and the fabric to avoid “shine”.

•  Starched fabrics require greater moisture.

•  Iron  whites  and  light  colours  on  the  right

side  and  dark  colours  on  the  reverse.  Em-

broidery should also be ironed on the rever-

se to make it stand out.

•  Each time the iron is used (including for the

first time) or if you have not used steam for

several  minutes,  press  the  steam  delivery

button a number of times away from the iro-

ning board.

 

This  will  eliminate  condensation  from  the 

steam circuit.
