N.B.:
Keep these instructions. If the appliance is passed to other per-
sons, they must also be provided with these instructions.
DESiGNatED USE
• This appliance must be used exclusively for the purpose
for which it was expressly conceived.
Any other use is considered improper and thus dange-
rous.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by inap-
propriate, incorrect or irresponsible use or for damage re-
sulting from repairs carried out by unqualified personnel.
Important!
The machine works with normal tap water.
In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°f) we suggest
using demineralised water diluted with 50% tap water.
The resin filter installed in the tank filters impurities,
and keeps the plate clean, thus ensuring constant ste-
am delivery during ironing.
Never use chemical substances or detergents (e.g.
perfumed water, essences, descaling solutions, etc).
Do not use mineral water.
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 iron, remove the plate protec-
tion (if present).
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 appliance.
you are recommended to ventilate the room.

velvet or wool, or gloves, bags etc. can be restored by pas-
sing the iron a short distance away with the steam jet in

temperature and begin ironing with items requiring the
lowest temperatures.
• Silk may be dry-pressed on the reverse.
• Wool, cotton and fine linen can either be steam-ironed on
the reverse or on the right side, interposing a thin cloth
between the iron and the fabric to avoid "shine".
• Starched fabrics require greater moisture.
• Iron whites and light colours on the right side and dark
colours on the reverse. embroidery should also be ironed
on the reverse to make it stand out.
To obtain a good steam jet, wait a few seconds between
one burst of steam and the next.
The no-drip system automatically shuts off steam pro-
duction when the temperature is set too low to prevent
the plate from dripping.
