ENGLISH
Note: After setting the temperature, the backlight of the LCD will become duller if the button
is not pressed within 30 seconds. The backlight will change colour when the iron is in standby
mode or when the auto shut-off function is activated.
Dry ironing
Fill the iron as described in 'How to fill with water'.
Plug the appliance into the mains supply.
Place the iron vertically and set the temperature with the temperature buttons according to
the international symbols on the label of the piece of clothing (Fig. 3). The LCD display will flash
while the iron preheats.
Once the LCD display stops flashing, the iron is ready to use.
Warning: If temperature is decreased after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing
until the soleplate cools down to the selected temperature.
Steam ironing
Fill the iron as described in 'How to fill with water'.
Plug the appliance into the mains supply.
Place the iron vertically and set the temperature with the temperature buttons in one of the
steam-ironing levels. As indicated on the LCD display, steam-ironing is only possible at high
temperatures (level 6 or over).
Preheat the iron until the LCD display stops flashing.
Turn the steam selector to the required setting, according to the different types of fabric.
Warning: The iron releases steam continuously only when it is horizontally held.
To stop the continuous steam flow, place the iron in an upright position or turn the steam
selector off. Use steam only at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too
low, water may drip from the soleplate. To avoid this, use always high temperatures for steam
ironing.
ECO mode
Press the ECO button for optimal results when steam ironing any type of fabric. This position
guarantees good results saving energy.

Anti-calc function
The anti-calc function is a permanent system located inside the water tank to eliminate
impurities in water and reduce the problems derived from limescale build-up. To prolong the
efficiency of this system, follow these steps regularly:
Unplug the iron and allow it to cool down.
Fill 3/4 of the measuring cup provided with the iron with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and fill
the water tank with this mix.
Leave the mix in the water tank for 15 minutes, shake it occasionally, and empty it. Repeat this
process twice.

Fill the tank with fresh water to rinse it and empty it.
Anti-drip function
This system controls the water flow emitted to the soleplate at all times. Below a certain
temperature, the anti-drip function cuts off the water flow and prevents the iron from dripping
water onto the fabric.
Automatic shut-off function
The iron will automatically turn off when placed in horizontal position for 30 seconds, or in an
upright position for 8 minutes. To indicate that the iron has been turned off, the unit will beep 6
times and the auto shut-off indicator light will blink. The iron can take up to 45-60 minutes to
completely cool down. To heat up the iron again:
Pick up the iron or slightly move it.
The auto shut-off light indicator will stop blinking.
The auto shut-off light indicator will remain on and the iron will be ready to use.
How to use the water spray
Before using the spray function, check the fabric label for ironing instructions, as some fabrics
may be spotted or stained with moisture. The spray function is particularly helpful to remove
stubborn wrinkles and whenever extra moisture is needed.
The spray may be used both with steam or dry ironing.
Simply press the spray mist button when desired.
How to use the steam burst
The steam burst feature provides additional steam to remove stubborn wrinkles. It maybe
used both with steam or dry ironing. Press the power steam button to release a steam burst.
Pressing the button several times may be necessary to build up the steam burst. Wait a few
seconds for the steam to penetrate the fabric before pressing the button again for more steam.
You can also use the steam burst to iron clothes vertically, such as curtains, clothes in hangers,
etc.
Note: For optimal results, do not apply more than three successive bursts after the indicator
light turns off.
After use
Turn off and unplug the iron.
Empty the iron immediately after use. Do not store the iron with water in its tank.
Allow the iron to completely cool down before cleaning or storing it. Let it rest on its base in
vertical position to protect the soleplate from scratches, corrosion, or stains.
