Attention!
• After removing the packaging, make sure the appliance
is complete and undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the
appliance and contact qualified personnel only.
• Dispose of the plastic bag with care as it represents a ha-
zard for children.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concer-
ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not
play with the appliance.
• NEVER mix the water in the tank with stain removers,
additives or perfumed oils. this reduces the safety of the
appliance and irreparably damages the steam generator
which would have to be replaced.
neVer rest the iron on the case of the appliance
when the iron rest is removed.
Use the removable iron rest on an ironing board.
neVer use the iron rest on a table. the heat could
ruin the surface of the table!
"Safe transport": certain models are
fitted with a locking system which locks
the iron in position during transport.
When the iron is locked in position, it must not be
used as a carrying handle to transport the applian-
ce! to position the iron correctly, insert the tip of the plate
into the housing B, rest the iron in position and move the
lock J to the locking position.
to release the iron, move the lock J into the release posi-
tion and remove the iron from its housing. While ironing,
if the iron rest has not been removed from the appliance,
you can rest the tip of the iron on the heat resistant base C
above the housing B.
• the appliance must be used and rested on a stable heat
resistant surface.
• When placing the iron on the iron rest, make sure the ap-
pliance is resting on a stable surface. NEVER store the
iron in a vertical position!
• Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped and there
are visible signs of damage or leaks. If the ironing system
is dropped causing visible damage to the appliance (ste-
am generator or iron), do not use. take to Customer Servi-
ces.

Designated use

• This appliance must be used exclusively for the purpose
for which it was expressly conceived. Any other use is con-
sidered improper and thus dangerous.

propriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for damage re-
sulting from repairs carried out by unqualified personnel.

What water to use

the appliance works with normal tap water.

Important!

In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest
using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water. never
use demineralised water on its own.
never use chemical substances or detergents (e.g.
perfumed water, essences, descaling solution, etc).
Do not use mineral or other types of water (such as
rainwater or water for batteries or air conditioners
etc.).
Important!
If you use filtering devices, make sure the water obtained has
a neutral pH.

Using the appliance for the first time

• The first time you use the appliance, the steam generator
is empty. When filling the steam generator for the first
time, it will take longer to heat up as the air must be
eliminated from the steam generator and replaced by the
water. During filling/heating it is normal for the pump to
make a noise.
the appliance will also run out of water much more quic-
kly than with subsequent fills.
• When used for the first time, the appliance may give off
smoke and an odour for several minutes. this is caused
by heating and subsequent drying of the sealers used in
assembling the steam generator and iron. you are recom-
mended to ventilate the room.
• - Each time the iron is used (including for the first time) or
if you have not used steam for several minutes, press the
steam delivery button a number of times away from the
