[. . . ] To ensure the iron continues to function properly, open and close the valve by sliding the steam control to max then min a few times after use. F2 Anti-scale system (depending on model) Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced. Do not use descaling agents, as they will damage the lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam function. [. . . ] Please read the operating instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place. B Before use BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE, REMOVE THE SOLEPLATE PROTECTOR AND DISCARD. Before using the iron for the first time: ­ Heat the appliance at the maximum setting without water (see D). A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this is only temporary. The water tank can then be filled directly with untreated tap water using a jug (see C). ­ Each time you begin ironing, allow the iron to emit steam for at least 1 minute. During this time press the power steam button from time to time to release several bursts of steam. Any particles released through the soleplate during first use are harmless and are due to the newness of your iron Tip: We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature as the iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabrics. E Ironing and Steam functions E1 Dry ironing To iron without continuous steam, turn the steam control ( ) to the position and set the temperature to suit the type of material (care points ·, ·· or ···). E2 Steam ironing You can steam iron by setting the temperature in the marked steam zone (after ··). The steam quantity can be set to between (no steam position) and (maximum steam quantity). We recommend setting to maximum steam quantity only when the iron is set at temperature setting ···. E3 Power steam button (temperature setting after ·· in the steam zone) To generate a powerful jet of steam to remove stubborn creases, press the power steam button. Vertical steam ironing (temperature setting after ·· in the steam zone) Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc. · Hang the garment on a hanger · Set the thermostat control to maximum steam · Hold the iron a few centimetres away from the garment to avoid burning delicate fabrics · Press the power steam button repeatedly, moving the iron from top to bottom The power steam and vertical steam functions (E3) are also possible to use if the steam control is set to the position. E4 Spray function To dampen stubborn creases, press the spray button. 9 A Appliance description 6 Filling inlet 7 Spray nozzle 8 Mains supply cord 9 Flexible cord support 10 Water tank with maximum water level indicator 11 Soleplate 10 B 1 Spray button 2 Power steam button 3 Variable steam control with Self Clean Function 4 Thermostat light 5 Temperature control dial 11 C Filling the water tank Before filling the water tank, unplug from the mains and set the steam control to the position. Tilt the iron and pour in untreated tap water up to the maximum level ( ). However, if your water is very hard, you can mix it 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water. Do no add anything to the contents of the water tank and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water. These contain organic waste or mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear to your iron. Tip: Spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed. Safety instructions C 6 D 5 E E1 SELF CLEAN 3 F F1 · The appliance complies with EU directives 72/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC.
