For best results
Before starting to iron, follow the garment care label
instructions carefully.
• Always iron black and dark garments inside out
to avoid getting a sheen on the fabrics from the
iron.
• When ironing a shirt, start with the more diffi cult
parts like collar, cuff links and sleeves. Then iron
the bigger parts like front and back, so you can
prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are
ironing the other parts.
• When you iron a collar, start on its underside and
work from the outside (the pointy end) inwards.
Turn over and repeat. Fold down the collar and
press the edge for a more crisp fi nish.
• When ironing garments with imprints,
applications or even more sensitive fabric parts
(i.e. embroidery), turn them inside out and, if
necessary, lay a cotton cloth between the iron
and the fabric. This way you avoid damage and
get the volume of fabric designs that are not to
be ironed fl at.
• When ironing woolen garments, we recommend
pressing sequentially the precision shot button
without placing the iron on the garment. This will
avoid shiny eff ects on the fabric.
• In order to prevent new creases while ironing
with steam make sure that the garment shows no
residual moisture before going on ironing other
parts of it.
(C) Precision shot
• Press the precision shot button (16) completely
down.
• Steam will come out of the tip area of the
soleplate only.
• To stop this function release the button.
• If you do not press it down completely, some
steam may also come out from the rear steam
holes in the soleplate.
(D) Boiler Sleep Mode
In the sleep mode the temperature of the boiler
goes down in order to reduce power consumption.
Please note, that the temperature of the iron
remains unchanged.
• It is activated if there has been no steam
emission for 10 minutes.
• To restart steam ironing either press the steam
button (15) or the reset button (4).
After ironing / storage
• Press the On/Off button (1) to turn off the
appliance.
• Unplug and let the appliance cool down before
storing.
• Empty the water tank.
• Lock the iron.
(E) Lock system
The appliance is equipped with a lock system for
convenient transportation and easy storage. It
is possible to lift and carry the appliance on the
handle of the locked iron.
Note: Before transportation make sure the iron is
properly locked and the water tank is empty.
• Place the soleplate into the recess on the iron mat.
• To lock the iron push the slider (13) (easy lock)
toward the iron until you hear a «click».
• To unlock the iron push down the button on the
slider (easy lock). The iron will be released.
(F) Descaling
Never open or touch the closure (11) when the
appliance is hot and/or plugged in.
To maintain optimum performance, the system
needs to be decalcifi ed after every 15 litres of water
consumption (about 8 complete refi lls).
Do not use any chemicals, additives or descaler to
rinse the boiler.
