1. Release the iron from its lock system (3) by
pulling the lever located at the heel of the iron
backwards.
2. Remove any label or protective covering from
the soleplate (17).
3. Place the appliance horizontally on a solid,
stable surface. You may remove the iron pad
from the appliance and place the iron on it on
another solid, stable, horizontal surface.
4. Fill the water tank, making sure not to pass the
"max" level mark.
5. Unwind the mains cable (13) fully and plug it
into an earthed socket.
6. Set the power button (10) to the on position.
7. The appliance will shift automatically to the
"i-Temp Advanced" programme (see section
3.1). The corresponding indicator light (7) will
flash, and after a few minutes, will remain lit
continuously. Two beeps will be heard indicating
that the appliance is ready to use.
The steam generator will take more time to
reach this state only upon the initial heating
up, or after performing the de-scaling operation
(Calc'nClean).
When water is already present in the steam
generator during regular use, heat up time to
reach the operating temperature will be faster.
8. This appliance has a built-in water level sensor.
The "Water tank empty" indicator light (5) will
light and three beeps will be heard when the
water tank has to be filled.
Attention! If the water tank is empty when one
of the ironing programs is selected, the indicator
light (7) corresponding to such programme will
flash until the water tank is filled.
Important:
• Normal tap water can be used. To prolong the
optimum steam function, mix tap water with
distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your area
is very hard, mix tap water with distilled water
1:2.
• You can inquire about the water hardness with
your local water supplier.
• The water tank can be filled at any time while
using the appliance.
• To avoid damage and/or contamination of the
water tank and the boiler, do not put perfume,
vinegar, starch, descaling agents, additives
* Model dependent
or any other type of chemical product into the
water tank.
Any damage caused by the use of the
aforementioned products, will make the
guarantee void.
• The iron is not designed to rest on its heel.
Please always position it horizontally on the iron
pad (2).
• The iron pad can be placed into the specially
designed recess on the appliance or
somewhere suitable alongside the ironing area.
Never rest the iron on the appliance without
the iron pad!
• During its first use the iron may produce certain
vapours and odours, along with white particles
on the soleplate (17), this is normal and it will
stop after a few minutes.
• While the steam release button is pressed, the
water tank may produce a pumping sound, this
is normal, indicating that water is being pumped
to the steam tank.
2. Programme selection

See the leaflet sides
Your steam station has a programme selector (9)
for choosing the different ironing programs.
Hygiene
Each programme automatically sets an
appropriate combination of temperature and steam
which is suitable for the kind of garment selected.
By turning the programme selector you can
choose the kind of garment and fabric to be
ironed. The corresponding indicator light (7) will
flash until the temperature and steam level
suitable for the programme selected are reached.
From this moment on, the indicator light will
remain lit continuously and two beeps will be
heard indicating that the appliance is ready to use.
If the garment to be ironed does not correspond to
any of the programs supplied, check the
temperature instructions shown on the care label
of the garment.
