Before the first use

Before using it for the first time, use it to iron an old towel, so as to clean
the system.
1 Fill the water tank as explained in the "Steam ironing" section.
2 Extend the cord completely and plug it into the mains. The temperature
pilot light (12) comes on. Place the iron in the vertical position.
3 Set the temperature selector (9) to the MAX position and wait for a few
minutes for the iron to reach the appropriate temperature (the
temperature pilot will go out).
4 Set the steam selector (10) to the completely open position (fig. 2):
steam will start to come out of the orifices in the soleplate.
5 Take the iron by the handle and slide the soleplate over an old towel.
6 When the water tank is empty, no more steam will be produced. The iron
is ready for use.

Do not worry if the iron gives off a little smoke when used for the first
time. This will go away quickly.

Selecting the temperature

• Check whether the garment to be ironed has a label indicating the
ironing temperature. We recommend you sort the garments according to
their required ironing temperature and begin with the garments that are
ironed with the lowest temperature (•).
SYNTHETIC FIBRES, minimum temperature (•)

Ironing delicate garments at a temperature higher than necessary spoils
the fabric and causes burnt residue to stick to the soleplate.

If you have any doubts about the temperature to use for a given garment,
perform a test on a part which won't be seen, beginning with the lowest
temperature settings.

When changing the position of the temperature selector (9), either to
increase or reduce the temperature, several minutes must pass before
the iron reaches the selected temperature.
