• If you live in an area that has very soft water, you can fill the tank using
100% drinkable mineral water or tap-water.
• If you live in an area that has soft water, you can fill the tank using 100%
drinkable mineral water, or fill 50% with tap-water and the other 50% with
bottled mineral water.
• If you live in an area that has medium water, you can fill the tank using
100% drinkable mineral water, or fill 75% with tap-water and the other 25%
with bottled mineral water.
• Lastly, if you live in an area that has hard water, you can fill the tank with
100% bottled mineral water.
• IMPORTANT NOTICE: Battery water and water with additives (such as starch,
perfumes, softeners, anti-scale products) are not suitable, since they could
reduce the performance of the steam and, in certain cases, leave residue in
the steam chamber, which could then dirty the garments when it comes out
through the soleplate.
• Plug the iron into the mains. To obtain steam, set the temperature selector

and medium and MAX, depending on the
garment to be ironed. When the pilot light Fig.1 (7) goes off, indicating that
the desired temperature has been reached, adjust the steam control Fig.1
(5) until securing the desired steam flow. Fig. 4
• To iron using steam at temperature level
••
, place the steam control Fig.1
(5) in the first position. Fig. 5.
SUPERSTEAM
• If you want more steam while ironing, press the button Fig. 1 (3) two or
three times and point the super steam at the desired area of the garment;
then pass the soleplate of the iron over the area to dry it.
• We recommend pressing the control at 5-second intervals.
• If you want more super-steam power, slide the steam control to minimum.
VERTICAL IRONING:
• It enables you to remove wrinkles from delicate garments without having
to put them on the ironing board: jackets, overcoats, curtains, etc.
• Place the garment on a hanger, well away from other garments, people, and
so on.
• Set the steam control Fig.1 (5) to the closed position and the temperature
selector Fig.1 (6) to the MAX position.
• Bring the iron up to the garment in the vertical position and press the SUPER
STEAM control Fig.1 (3) as many times as you like.
DRY IRONING
• If the tank has water, turn the steam control Fig.1 (5) to the CLOSED posi-
tion Fig. 2, to prevent water from coming out.
