• Pull up the self-refilling tank cap (
1
) (Fig. 1) and fill the tank
with 500 cc of water, making sure it does not overflow. Close
the cap.
• Water, in nature, contains magnesium and mineral salts which
aid limescale build-up. To avoid this residue may cause prob-
lems to your appliance, use demineralized water only.
• Fit in the flex holder (
13
) to the appliance. Place the combined
steam and electric flex (
8
) into the support (fig.2).
• Connect the cable plug to an earthed power supply of the cor-
rect voltage.
• Press the illuminated ON/OFF switch (
2
); both the steam pres-
sure indicator (
5
) and the “iron heating” indicator (
10a
) light up.
• The sound emitted on switching on your appliance and period-
ically during use, is due to the water refilling system and is
quite normal.

Before ironing a garment, it is always advisable to check the
symbols and instructions on the label provided by the garment
manufacturer.
Check which kind of ironing is recommended, referring to the
table below:
STEAM IRONING
• Set the iron temperature on “COTTON - LINEN” steam posi-
tion (fig. 3), by turning the control knob (
7
).
• Wait for both the steam pressure indicator light (
5
) and the
“iron heating” indicator light (
10a
) to go off (about 3 minutes).
Push the steam release button (
10
) on the iron to release
steam from the holes on the soleplate. Release the button and
the steam flow stops.
NOTE:
at the first request of steam, a few drops of water
mixed with steam may come out of the soleplate until the tem-
perature stabilizes. It is advisable to direct the first jets of
steam onto an old cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is
obtained.
• In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (
14
)
forwards. Steam will keep on coming out, even if you release
the button (
10
). To interrupt the steam flow, move the button
(
14
) backwards (fig.4).
• By turning the steam flow control knob (
6
) you can vary the
quantity of steam according to the kind of textiles to be ironed
(more or less delicate). You can increase the steam flow by
turning the knob in clockwise direction. Turning it in an anti-
clockwise direction reduces the steam flow (fig. 5). We sug-
gest the maximum emission for heavy textiles like jeans and
linen, medium for cotton, minimum for light delicate textiles.
DRY IRONING:
• For DRY ironing (without steam), set the iron temperature by
turning the control knob (
7
) on the position required for the fab-
ric, as shown on the same knob. When dry ironing, be careful
NOT TO PRESS THE STEAM RELEASE BUTTON (
10
) on the
iron, otherwise water may leak from the soleplate.
NOTE:
• Both (
5
) and (
10a
) lights go on and off during operation; this is
quite normal and means that the electric resistances are oper-
ating to maintain the system at a constant temperature.
• If no steam is released from the iron, check that the steam
pressure light (
5
) is off.

It is necessary to fill up the tank with water before it becomes
empty. If no steam comes out when pressing the steam release
button, this means that there is no more water in the tank.
To keep on working, simply restore the water level in the self-
refilling tank as described in the “Preparation for use” paragraph.
