CAUTION! Never attempt to open the cap while the boiler is under pressure.
Never unscrew the boiler cap when the appliance is connected to the outlet.
-The iron may smoke slightly when switched on for the first time – this is normal and will soon
cease.
-If the iron remains unused for a long period of time (a few weeks), we suggest that the steam
button (10) be pressed for about 30 seconds with the iron in horizontal position, as to clean the
internal steam ducts, before you start your ironing session.
-It is not necessary to completely fill the boiler tank for short ironing sessions. -One measure (or
less) of water is sufficient as to reduce the waiting time and save electric energy.
Dry ironing
-To iron without steam, first connect the appliance to the mains supply, press the switch(5), then
select the desired temperature by turning the thermostat knob(9).
-Wait until the pilot lamp (11) goes off, indicating that the desired temperature has been
reached.
- For dry ironing it is not necessary to press the steam button (10).
Temperature selection
-First of all, check if there is a label with ironing instructions attached to the article to be ironed.
Compare the symbol on the label with the table below.
-If ironing instructions are missing, but you are familiar with the fabric, the table below may help
you.
- The table refers to fabrics that have been sized. If the fabrics have not been sized, they may be
ironed at a lower temperature.
Suggestions
-Sort the items to be ironed according to the varying fabrics: wool with wool, cotton with cotton,
etc. Start by ironing the fabrics that require lower temperatures and progressively work up to the
fabrics that require higher temperatures, as the iron heats up quicker than it cools down.
-If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature according to the
fibre that requires the least heat. For instance, if the fabric consists of 70% synthetic fibres and
30% cotton, set the temperature to (•) (see table) without steam, as for synthetic fabrics.
-Pure wool articles (100%) can be ironed with the iron set to one of the steam positions. We
suggest that pure wool, silk and synthetic articles be ironed inside out as to prevent the fabric
from becoming shiny.
-Other types of fabrics, especially velvet, should always be ironed in the same direction (with a
cloth) with a light pressure on the iron as to prevent the shiny effect. Continually move the iron
over the article being ironed.
