to dampen dry, hard-to-iron fabrics, e.g.

linen, cotton or wool or to remove stubborn

creases accidentally created while ironing.

NOTE: At first you may have to press the

spray button several times.

10. EXTRA STEAM

the • • • and the MAX position, and when the

iron has reached the selected temperature,

press the extra steam button (5) and the

steam will start to come out. Before using this

8. STEAM IRONING

• Turn the temperature dial (7) to the steam

position, which is between • • • and the

MAX position. The nearer it is to MAX, the

more spray will be provided.

• Place the steam setting (4) in the steam

iron position

. Place the iron in a

horizontal position and the steam will start

to come out through the holes on the sole

(fig. 3). In the event that the iron does

not expel steam, gently tap the sole on

the ironing surface. Whenever you place

the iron in a upright position, it will stop

expelling steam.

WARNING: avoid contact with the steam and

do not direct it towards persons. If you need to

fill the tank while ironing, unplug the iron to fill

it with water.

7. DRY IRONING

1. Place the steam setting (4 ) in the dry

iron setting

2. While dry ironing, you may use the spray

function as long as there is water in the

tank (see “Filling the water tank” and

“Spray function” sections).

Remove the stickers or protectors from the

sole and case

Unwind and straighten out the power cord

Follow the

“Self clean” instructions under

the

“CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”

section to prepare the iron for use.

5. FILLING THE WATER TANK

Place the unplugged iron on a stable

surface.

1. Move the steam setting to the “MIN”

position.

2. Pour the water slowly into the water fill

hole with the aid of a glass

(fig. 2).

3. Check that the water does not exceed

the maximum level.

4. After ironing, empty the water tank.

6. TEMPERATURE DIAL

• Place the iron on a stable, heat-

resistant surface.

• Connect the iron to the mains and

select the temperature according to the

label on the garment you wish to iron.

• If in any doubt about the composition

of the garment fabric, start with a low

temperature and increase it gradually

until the creases disappear, without

spoiling the fabric. The temperature dial

is marked with the following symbols:

MIN Iron connected

• Synthetic, acrylic

• • Silk, rayon, wool

• • • Cotton/linen

MAX Linen

• When the indicator light (6) goes out,

the sole has reached the selected

temperature and you may begin to iron.

4. BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

14. INFORMATION FOR THE

CORRECT DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL

AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES

At the end of its working life, the

product must not be disposed

of as urban waste. It must be

taken to a special local authority

differentiated waste collection

centre or to a dealer providing this

service. Disposing of a household

appliance separately avoids possible negative

consequences for the environment and health

deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables

the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain

significant savings in energy and resources.

To remind you that you must collaborate with a

selective collection scheme, the symbol shown

appears on the product warning you not to

dispose of it in traditional refuse containers.

For further information, contact your local authority

or the shop where you bought the product.

11. UPRIGHT STEAM

The upright steam function allows you

to use your iron as a clothes steamer.

Suggestion: For upright steam, hang the

items on a coat hanger for better results.

You can also use it for hanging curtains.

• Make sure the iron has warmed up

sufficiently.

• Keep the iron in an upright position at

a distance of approximately 15 to 20

centimetres from the fabric.

• Press the extra steam button (5) at 5-

second intervals as you move the iron

over the creased area.

WARNING: Do not steam garments being

worn, as there is a danger of burns.

12. ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM

The anti-drip system comes into operation

when the iron is too cold to iron, preventing

water from leaking out of the sole. The

anti-drip system allows you to iron delicate

garments at low temperatures without

having to worry about marks caused by

drops of water. When this function comes

into operation it is likely that the iron will

make a few crackling sounds.

13. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the iron and wait until it cools down

before cleaning it.

Clean the outside and the sole of the iron with a

damp cloth. Do not use detergents or abrasive

products to clean it. In order to prevent the sole

from being scratched, avoid ironing hook and

eye fasteners, zips, metal buttons, etc.

After each use, empty the tank and allow the

iron to cool down before removing it.

Do not immerse the iron in water or run it

under the tap.

SELF-CLEANING

This iron has a self-clean button which should

be used at least twice a month to prevent a

concentration of minerals harmful to the steam

chamber. Proceed as follows:

• Fill the water tank (see “Filling the water

tank”), plug the iron in to the mains and turn

the temperature dial (7) to the MAX position.

• Wait until the indicator light (6) goes on and

off 2 or 3 times.

• Turn the temperature dial to the MIN position

and unplug the iron.

• Hold the iron in a horizontal position above

a sink or washbasin and press the self-clean

button (8). The steam, together with the drops

of boiling water, will flow out through the

holes on the base.

• Move the iron gently backwards and forwards

until the tank is empty.

• Press the extra spray button (5) several times.

• Run the iron over a dry cloth to dry the sole.

• When finished, place the steam setting (4) to

the dry iron position

• Empty the water tank.

• When the iron is cool, the iron may be put

away.

times to activate it. Wait around 5 seconds

between each press.

cuando la plancha esté demasiado fría

para planchar, evitando que se produzcan

salidas de agua por la suela. El sistema

antigoteo permite planchar prendas

delicadas a temperaturas bajas sin

tener que preocuparse por las manchas

causadas por las gotas de agua. Cuando

esta función se ponga en marcha es

probable que la plancha emita algunos

chasquidos.

deje enfriar la plancha antes de retirarla.

No sumerja la plancha en agua ni la

ponga bajo el grifo.

AUTOLIMPIEZA

Esta plancha dispone de un botón de auto

limpieza que deberá utilizarse por lo menos

dos veces al mes con el fin de prevenir la

concentración de minerales perjudiciales en

la cámara de vapor. Para ello proceda de la

siguiente manera:
