When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke
and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and
it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary
cloth before using it for the first time.
PREPARATIONS
Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the
garment label, or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.
GARMENT FABRIC THERMOSTAT
LABEL TYPE
synthetic
silk - wool
Cotton - linen
Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool
down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
- Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
- Move the steam selector (3) to "0" [Fig. 1].
- Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing.
- Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (13) and
taking care not to go over the maximum level (about 160ml) indicated by
"MAX" on the reservoir [Fig. 2].
Selecting the temperature.
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (10) according to the international symbol on the
garment label [Fig. 3]. The plate temperature control light (6) indicates that the
iron is heating up. Wait until the plate temperature control light goes off before
ironing.
Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature control light (6) comes on at
intervals, indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the
thermostat temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing
until the plate temperature control light comes on again.
