10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Unplug the iron and wait until it has cooled
before cleaning.
Clean the exterior and base with a damp
cloth. Do not use detergents or abrasive
products.
The surface of the iron base (1) should be
kept clean at all times. To clean the base, wait
until it has cooled completely and then wipe
with a damp cloth.
In order to prevent scratching, do not iron
over hook and eye fastenings, zips or metallic
buttons, etc. and do not place the iron on
metallic or rough surfaces.
After each use, empty the deposit and leave
the iron to cool before storing.
Never submerge the iron in water or hold it
under a running tap.
Self-cleaning

4. Place the iron in an upright position, resting
it on the support base (10).
5. Plug the iron in and turn the temperature
selector to "
" or "Max". To obtain
optimum results when steam ironing, do
not use the "
" or "
" positions.
The pilot light (4) will come on. When this
pilot light switches off, the iron will have
reached the selected temperature. The
pilot light will turn on and off at regular
intervals during the ironing process,
indicating the cycles of the thermostat.
Remember that if you change from a
higher to a lower temperature, the pilot
light (4) will remain off until the temperature
of the base has dropped to the selected
level, at which point it will come on again
6. Turn the steam control knob (7) to one of
the steam iron positions (fig. D or fig. E).
Hold the iron in a horizontal position and
the steam outlets will begin to expel steam.
If no steam is produced, lightly tap the iron
base against the ironing board. Setting
the iron in an upright position, resting on
the support base, will interrupt the steam
expulsion.
Caution! Avoid contact with the steam
and do not direct it towards people.
7. When you have finished, turn the
temperature selector to "MIN", slide the
steam control knob to the dry iron position
(Fig. C), unplug the cable and empty the
deposit. The deposit should be emptied
after each use as follows:
Open the cover (5) and pour the water
out of the deposit (Fig. H). Press the extra
steam button to remove any water that
may still be in the deposit while the base is
still hot. Leave in an upright position until
cool.
Note: If you need to top up the deposit
while ironing, always unplug the iron
beforehand.
8. SPRAY (FIG. I)
This function will only work if there is water
in the deposit. Press the spray button (8)
(Fig. I), to obtain a burst of sprayed water to
dampen dry or difficult-to-iron fabrics such as
linen, cotton or wool. Dampening the fabric
slightly will help remove stubborn creases.
9. EXTRA STEAM (FIG. J)
Turn the iron on as indicated in the "Steam
ironing" section.
When the iron has reached the selected
temperature, press the extra steam button
(9)
down firmly (Fig. J), for an intense
steam expulsion. This option enables you
to iron more quickly and to smooth out
stubborn creases more easily. Wait for at
least 5 seconds before pressing the extra
steam button again, in order to enable the
iron to reach the optimum temperature
required for maximum additional steam
expulsion.
Note: Before ironing, press the extra steam
button a few times to activate it. For
best results, do not press the extra
steam button more than three times
after the pilot light has gone off.
Warning: Avoid contact with the steam.
Do not direct the steam jets towards
people.
The spray option is also useful for dampening
accidental creases created whilst ironing.
Spray is released through spray outlet nozzle (6).
Note: The first time you use your iron, you may
have to press the spray button a few times
before the option will work.
