Vertical steam ironing

•

Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The steam is very hot,

so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never iron clothes which someone is

wearing.

• Set the thermostat control to

“MAX” – fig.8.

•

Operate the Power zone trigger by pulsing – fig.7moving the iron from top to bottom – fig.9.

Dry ironing

• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.

•

Set the steam control to – fig.1.

• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

Extra Functions

Autoclean Catalys

Soleplate (depending on model)

• Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate which works by catalysis.

• Its exclusive coating helps eliminate all the impurities generated by normal use.

•

It is recommended that you always stand your iron on his heel to preserve its self-cleaning coating.

Integral anti-scale system

Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system. This system will help to provide:

• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,

• lasting performance from your appliance.

Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)

• The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning light flashes if the

iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal position for more than

30 seconds – fig.10.

• To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.

Anti-drip function (depending on model)

• When the iron is no longer hot enough to produce steam, the water feed will stop automatically to avoid dripping.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)

• Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.

• Adjust the steam setting to “Eco”.

• To remove the anti-scale valve, open the water tank lid and press the release button – fig.11 and then pull the valve upwards –

fig.12.

• Soak the valve in a cup of white spirit vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours – fig.14.

• Rinse the valve under running water.

• Replace the anti-scale valve; press until it clicks in to place – fig.15.

Self-cleaning

• Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on it’s heel with the

thermostat set to “Max” and heat it up.

• When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position,

over a sink. Remove the anti-scale valve – fig.11-12 (see previous chapter).

• Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with the impurities) has flowed out through the

soleplate – fig.16.

• At the end of the operation, replace the anti-scale valve; press it in until it clicks – fig.15.

• Plug the iron back in and leave it resting on its heel for two minutes to dry the soleplate.

• Clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic cloth while it is still warm.

Cleaning the soleplate

Your steam iron is fitted with a self-cleaning soleplate (depending on model):

• The exclusive active coating helps eliminate all the impurities generated by the normal

day-to-day use of the iron.

• However, if you iron using an unsuitable programme, some traces may be left which require manual cleaning. In this case, it is

recommended that you use a soft damp cloth on the warm soleplate, in order not to damage the surface.

Your steam iron is fitted with an Ultraglide soleplate (depending on model):

• Clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic cloth while it is still warm.

Storing your iron

• Unplug the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool down – fig.18.

• Empty the water tank and set the steam control to . A little water may remain in the tank.

• Wind the cord around the heel at the back of the iron. Store the iron on its heel – fig.19.

Hold the iron a few centimetres

from the fabric to avoid burning

delicate fabrics. Every five pulses

return the iron to a horizontal po-

sition.

The auto-stop light will be lit du-

ring normal use!

Be careful! - Never touch the end of the

valve – fig.13.

- The iron will not function without the

anti-scale valve.

The self-cleaning function helps to slow

down scaling in your iron. In order to ex-

tend the life of your iron, use the Self-

Cleaning function once a month.

Attention! The use of a scouring pad will

cause damage to your soleplate's self-clea-

ning (depending on model) coating – fig.17.

Never use aggressive or

abrasive products.
