Vertical steam ironing
Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
As steam is very hot: never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is
being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.
Holding the iron in a vertical position - fig.14 tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly
on the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top
to bottom - fig.15.
Refilling the tank during use
When the red «Tank empty» light is ashing - fig.4, there is no more steam. The water tank is empty.
Unplug the steam generator. Open the water tank ller cover - fig.5.
Using a jug of water, ll to a maximum of 1.7 l with untreated tap water and ll the tank, making sure not to exceed
the «Max» level of the tank - fig.6.
Close the water tank ller cover - fig.7.
Plug the steam generator in again. Press the «OK» restart button - fig.8 under the control panel to continue ironing.
When the green light stops ashing, the steam is ready.
Power Zone Function
Your appliance includes the Power Zone function: concentrated steam shot at the tip of the soleplate, to be used in
particular to target stubborn creases, detailing and zones that are difcult to access.
To use this function, press the Power Zone function on top of the iron as often as necessary - fig.16.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your steam generator
Do not use any type of cleaning or descaling product to clean the soleplate or the base unit.
Never hold the iron or the base unit under a running tap.
Cleaning the soleplate: we recommend using a soft damp cloth on the soleplate while it is
still warm to avoid damaging the coating.
We recommend always standing your iron upright or on the iron rest to protect its coating.
Clean the plastic parts from time to time using a slightly damp soft cloth.
Easy descaling of your steam generator
To extend the life of your steam generator and avoid scale on your ironing, your steam
generator is equipped with a built-in scale collector. This collector, located in the tank,
automatically removes the scale that forms inside.
Operation:
An orange «anti-scale collector» light located on the control panel starts ashing to tell you
that the anti-scale valve needs rinsing - fig.13.
Important: This operation must not be carried out unless the steam generator has
been unplugged for at least two hours and has cooled down completely. To carry out
this operation, the steam generator must be close to a sink as water may come out of
the tank when it is opened.
Once the steam generator has cooled completely unscrew the scale collector.
Fully unscrew the collector - fig.17 and pull it out of the base unit - fig.18, it contains the scale that has built up in
the tank - fig.19.
To clean the collector, simply rinse it under running water to remove any scale it contains - fig.20.
You can soak the collector rod in white vinegar or lemon juice for a few hours to remove any stubborn scale stuck to
the rod.
Place the collector in its housing by screwing it in completely to ensure it is watertight but do not overtighten it -
fig.21-22.
Fit the collector cover back in place - fig.23.
Next time you use your appliance, press the «OK» button under the control panel until the orange «Anti-scale»
light goes out - fig.12.
Never use harsh or
abrasive cleaning
products.
Warning! The use of
abrasive pads will
damage the
soleplate coating - fig.26.
In addition to this regular maintenance, it is advisable to rinse the tank out completely every 6 months or after
approximately 25 uses.
• Check that the steam generator is cold and has been unplugged for at least 2 hours.
• Place the steam generator on the edge of your sink and stand the iron upright.
• Remove the collector cap and unscrew the scale collector.
• Hold your steam generator in an inclined position. Use a jug to ll the boiler with 1/4 litre of untreated tap water.
Shake the base unit gently for a few seconds and then empty it completely into the sink.
• Place the collector in its housing by screwing it in completely to ensure that it is watertight but do not overtighten it.
• Fit the collector cover back in place.
Next time you use your appliance, press the «OK» button located below the control panel until the orange
«Anti-scale» light goes out - fig.12.
«AUTO-OFF» System
For your safety, the steam generator is tted with an «AUTO-OFF» monitoring system, which is activated automatically
after approximately 8 minutes without use.
• Only the «ON-OFF» button ashes to indicate that the appliance is on standby - fig.11.
• To reactivate the steam generator:
- Press the «ON-OFF» button.
- Wait for the «ON-OFF» button light to stop ashing before starting your ironing again.
For your safety, after approximately 30 minutes of non-use, the «AUTO-OFF» system switches off your steam
generator. To start your ironing again, press the «ON-OFF» button.
Storing the steam generator
• Place the iron on the steam generator iron rest.
• Switch your steam generator off by pressing the «ON-OFF» button and unplug the appliance.
• Raise the retaining hoop over the iron until the protection system locks into place (audible click) - fig.2.
Store the steam cord in its slide storage place. Take it, fold it in two so as to make a loop. Put the end of this loop in the
sliding storage then push gently until you see the end on the other side of the sliding storage - fig.24.
• Store the electrical lead in its housing - fig.25.
• Leave the steam generator to cool before putting it away if you are storing it in a cupboard or a conned space.
If you store your steam generator in a relatively cold place (approximately <10C°), put it in a warm place before
starting your ironing.
• You can store your steam generator safely by carrying it by the iron handle - fig.1.
Environment protection first!
i Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.
