We advise you to fill the tank up to the maximum level marked on it
as this appliance generates a substantial flow of steam, otherwise
you will need to fill the water tank more often.

Check whether the garment you are going to iron has a label indicat-
ing the ironing temperature. We recommend that you to classify the
garments according to their required ironing temperature and to
begin with the garments that are ironed with the lowest temperature
(•).
ATTENTION:
Ironing delicate garments with a temperature higher than
necessary is harmful for the fabric and causes burnt residue to get
stuck to the soleplate.
OPERATION
Plug the Velocity into the main outlet. A buzzer will sound; the display
will light up automatically and the thermometer symbol will appear
(blinking) alongside the temperature position 1 (•) and the medium
steam position Fig 5. In addition, an icon will appear with the scale-
preventing cartridge, for 30 sec, indicating that your iron has a scale-
prevention system Fig 2 (e). To replace it, follow the instructions in the
section “Anti-scale System.” By default, when switched on, the iron
marks these positions.
Temperature selection
With your Compact Vapor Generator you will easily know when it
reaches the selected temperature and is ready for ironing. On the
communication display the thermometer icon will cease to blink and at
the same time a buzzer will sound Fig 2.
The CVG has four temperature positions for you to choose between by
pressing the temperature selector button Fig 2 (h). If you press once,
another dot will appear alongside the one already there (••), indicat-
ing that it is at temperature level 2. The thermometer icon will blink
again until the selected temperature is reached. When it has reached
SYNTHETIC FIBRES: minimum temperature (•)
SILK, WOOL: medium temperature (••)
COTTON, LINEN: high temperature (•••)
LINEN: high temperature (MAX)

it, the warning buzzer will sound and the thermometer will cease to blink
Fig 4. Temperature levels 3 and MAX are selected in the same way.
From the MAX temperature position, if you press the button again, the
iron will revert to the initial position with one temperature dot, and so on.
Press the temperature button for two seconds to disconnect the iron. To
restart it, simply press the button again.
Steam selection
The Compact Vapor Generator has two steam positions, medium steam
(15 gr/min) and maximum steam (30 gr/min). The medium value
always appears by default when the iron is switched on.
To obtain maximum steam, simply press the steam selector button once
Fig 2 (i), and the steam icon will appear in the display at its highest flow
Fig 5. To revert to medium flow, you just have to press the selector but-
ton again. Fig 2 (i).
When you have chosen the appropriate temperature and steam flow for
the garment, press the steam On/Off switch Fig 6 (g) once and you may
start to iron. It is not necessary to be pushing the steam button continu-
ally, just press once and the steam will issue without interruption. To cut
off steam output, press the steam On/Off switch Fig 2 (g) again and it
will cease to steam automatically.
AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF: AUTO-PAUSE
The Compact Vapor Generator has an automatic switch-off system. It is
switched off automatically three minutes after the last time it was used.
This means that once the device is actuated, the CVG ceases to heat
and begins to cool down. At that moment a buzzer will sound and the
icon Fig 2 (f) will appear (blinking) for five seconds on the illuminated
display, and it will continue blinking afterwards on the display when it is
not lit up Fig 7, indicating that the appliance has been switched off. To
switch it back on, just move it slightly (vertically) or else press any of the
three control buttons Fig 2 (g, h, i). The CVG will revert to the tempera-
ture and steam position it had before being switched off.
Remember that the period between being switched off and switched
back on again will affect the time that the CVG may need to regain the
temperature selected previously.
