tank.

Steam ironing
• Note: For the first use, use the iron on an old piece of fabric to ensure the soleplate and water
tank are completely clean.
• Fill the boiler and set the thermostat to at least the steam mark or higher. (Do not steam on a
lower temperature as the water will not evaporate and will leak from the iron.)
• Plug the power cable into the wall outlet.
• Wait until the red indicator light goes out.
• Press the steam button on the handle to start steaming. (The machine will not steam
continuous but emits bursts of steam.)
• Press the steam button again to stop the steam bursts.
• Note: The first time the steam generator is used, there may be some smoke and smell, this is
not harmful. They will not affect the performance and will disappear rapidly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

minimum position, unplug your steam generator from the power socket and allow it to cool
down completely.
• Empty the boiler above a sink and rinse it a few times with clear water.
Steam generator cleaning
• Clean the soleplate with a vinegar-water solution.
• Clean the base and iron with a damp cloth and dry it completely before storage.
• To not damage the soleplate, we advise you never put the soleplate on a metal surface.
• Clean your steam generator after every 10 times of use.
Type of water to use : You can use normal tap water to fill the tank. Therefore, especially if your
tap water is very hard, we advise you to mix it with distilled water or use distilled water only. We
advise you to empty the water tank after use in order prevent limestone inside the water tank. Do
not add anything to the contents of the boiler and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented or
softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners and rain water. These contain
organic waste or mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting,
brown staining or premature wear to the steam generator. Use of these types of water will negate the
guarantee provided with the product.
