Vertical steam ironing
Recommendations: for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres from the garment
to avoid burning the fabric.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
• As steam is very hot: never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang
garments on a coat hanger.
• Holding the iron in a vertical position tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam control button (underneath
the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom.
Dry ironing
• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
Refilling the tank during use
• When the red «Tank empty» light is flashing, there is no more steam. The water tank is empty.
1. Remove the detachable water tank using the handle (located at the front of the steam generator) and fill it without
exceeding the MAX level.
2. Push it back into its housing until you hear a «click».
3. Press the «OK» button located on the control panel until the light goes out to continue ironing.

Care
Switch the steam generator on
The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not
affect use and will disappear rapidly.
• Place the steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal surface that is heat and water-resistant.
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and wear of the steam cord.
• Pull out and completely unwind the power cord and take the steam cord out of its storage space.
• Plug your steam generator into an earthed socket.
• Press the «ON-OFF» button.
• When the iron is turned on, the «SYNTH.» indicator flashes - as does the light on the iron.
The light on the iron remains flashing until the iron is ready for use (after approximately 2 minutes).
The SYNTH. / SILK / WOOL / COTTON / LINEN indicators control the temperature and steam flow combinations
which adjust to the different types of fabrics. They may be selected at any time.
Operating the control panel
• Depending on which fabric you have selected, the corresponding light for SYNTH. / SILK / WOOL / COTTON /
LINEN will flash whilst the appliance is adjusting to the correct temperature and steam flow.
• When the red «Water tank empty» light is flashing : the water tank is empty. Fill the water tank and press the «OK»
button for the light to switch off. See paragraph «Filling the water tank during use»
• When the orange «Anti-Calc» light is flashing : maintenance is required, see paragraph «Maintenance and cleaning».
• Your steam generator comes with an automatic shut-off system which activates if you have not used the generator
for approximately 8 minutes. The blue light for the ON-OFF button flashes to indicate that the generator has switched
to standby. Press the «ON-OFF» button or the steam control button to start ironing again. See paragraph «AUTO-
OFF» System.
Steam ironing
Do not iron over zips, studs or other hard or sharp objects which may damage the soleplate. Do not place the
iron on a metal support. When taking a break from ironing, always place the iron on the iron rest plate of the
unit. It is equipped with non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures.
• We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing board to allow steam to pass through the garments for better ironing results
and also to prevent steam venting sideways.
• To obtain steam, press the steam control button under the iron handle. The steam will stop when you release the
button.
• After approximately one minute, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator’s electric pump injects
water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal.
• If you are using starch, always spray it onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
