INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE IB 40 COMPACT
PREPARE YOUR IB 40 COMPACT:
• Remove the iron from the iron protection cover .
• Plug the iron cable into the board steam socket.
• Put the iron (Soleplate down) on the rest pad.
FILL THE TANK WITH WATER
- Ensure that the power supply plug is disconnected from the supply socket.
- Slide the iron rest pad out laterally to access the boiler cap.
- Unscrew and remove the safety boiler cap carefully, ensuring that no steam is present.
- Fill the bottle with tap water (not processed).
- Introduce the bottle into the steam generator filler-hole and pour water.
- Carefully screw in the safety cap without forcing it too much (tightening too hard
is useless and may cause the gasket to wear out).
- Close the iron rest pad. Iron only when the iron rest pad is in the closed position.
Tap
water
Important: the maximum capacity of the steam generator is 1 litre. Do not forget that re-
sidual water is always left in the tank. When water is poured, air bubbles in the filling-hole
of the steam generator can hinder the subsequent filling. Therefore, we recommend that
you slightly move the bottle from side to side during filling. Never fill the steam generator
directly from the tap: spilled water could cause a short circuit!
Information about the water
This iron works with untreated tap water. Decalcified water of any kind or water from tumble-
dryers is unfit, since it may be very corrosive. Never use water treated with filter cartridges,
since the residues (e.g. particles of activated carbon) may block the mechanic parts of the
appliance. Never add in water perfumes, starch or other additives. Water with additives
may damage the steam generator leaving you with subsequent costs of cleaning and
service. Hard water and a frequent use may cause the formation of scale deposits in your
steam generator. If you wish to slow down the scale forming, we recommend to regularly
rinse out your steam generator (see maintenance, page 28).
This ironing station comes with a steam generating unit and a steam iron with
professional-style soleplate offering several advantages.
- unlike a "normal" iron, an iron with a professional-style soleplate emits steam only at
the tip. The great amount of concentrated steam emitted easily penetrates
through several fabric layers steaming each layer.
