Overview

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using the iron. When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
4. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.

6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Contact our Consumer Service Department for examination, repair, or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
9. This appliance is only for domestic and personal use.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 amp. cord should be used. Cords rated for less amper may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance complies with the technical rules and standards for safety currently in force (Electromagnetic Compatibility, Low Voltage, Environnement).

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• During the first few uses, a harmless odor and a small amount of smoke may be given off. This has no effect on the use of iron and will disappear quickly.
• Warning! The voltage of your electrical installation must correspond to that of the iron (120V or 127 V). Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreversible damage to the iron and will terminate the guarantee.
• If it is absolutely essential to use an extension cable, choose a 15 amp cord.
• If the electrical cord becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by an Approved Service Centre to avoid any danger.
• The appliance should not be used if it has fallen if it has obvious damage if it leaks or functions incorrectly. Never dismantle your appliance: have it inspected by an Approved Service Centre, to avoid any danger.
• Never immerse your iron in the water!
• Do not unplug your appliance by pulling on the cord. Always unplug your appliance: before filling or rinsing the water tank, before cleaning it, and after each use.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to a power source or if it has not cooled down for approximately 1 hour.
• Your appliance gives off steam, which may cause burns.

WHAT WATER TO USE?

Your appliance was designed to operate using tap water. However, it is necessary to periodically clean the steam chamber to remove any mineral deposits. If your water is very hard (above 30°f or 17°dH or 21°e), mix 50% tap water with 50% demineralized water (available in hardware stores). Do not use water with additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softener, etc.), condensation water (e.g. water from clothes dryers, water from refrigerators, water from air conditioners, rainwater), pure demineralized or pure demineralised water. These types of water contain organic waste, mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear on your iron.

BEFORE USE
Please read carefully the “Safety and use instructions” booklet before first use.

USE
Filling the water tank 

• Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron Fig 1.
• Open the water filling inlet Fig 2. Fill in water up to the Max. mark. fig 3. Close the filling inlet and return the iron to the horizontal position.
• You can plug in your iron fig 4

Setting the temperature
Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam Electronic Control function, which automatically adjusts the steam amount and the temperature based on the selected fabric for optimum results. Select the fabric to be ironed by pressing the MODE button to select the appropriate fabric. fig 5. For perfect results, an optimum position for each fabric has been pre-defined. When your iron reaches the required temperature, the selected fabric in the LED screen stops flashing and is displayed constantly Fig 6. You can start ironing.

	SCREEN INDICATION	FABRIC	IRONING LABEL
	NYLON	nylon (Synthetic fibres, e.g. viscose, polyester)
	SILK	silk
	WOOL	wool
	COTTON	cotton
	LINEN	linen

IMPORTANT

The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabric.

In NYLON mode, the steam is blocked in order to protect your clothes. On linen and cotton mode only, to eradicate the toughest creases, you can activate the steam boost: press the trigger to the max level (1-second max) and release (fig 7-b or below). Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the trigger again.

AFTER USE

Emptying
Unplug the iron Fig 1. Pour away the remaining water Fig 10.

Storing
Allow the appliance to cool down for 1 hour before winding the cord around the heel. Store the iron on its base in a dry and safe place Fig 12.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Cleaning
the iron When the appliance has cooled down, wipe the iron down with a damp cloth or sponge. A non-abrasive cleaning agent can be used. IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean the soleplate and other parts of the iron. WARNING: Do not use descaling agents even if advertised for steam irons. They will permanently damage your iron.

Calc clean program (4-6 min)
The Calc Clean System flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber. This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron. Your iron needs to be cleaned when the CALC CLEAN warning light remains light on the LED screen Fig 11a. If the “CALC CLEAN” light starts flashing when you are ironing, you can finish your ironing session. There is no risk to your clothes or the appliance.

TO START THE CALC CLEAN PROGRAM:

1. Unplug the iron (fig 1)
2. 2. Fill in the water tank Fig 2 & 3
3. Plug the iron (fig 4)
4. Put the iron over a sink or a basin
5. Press simultaneously the Mode button & the trigger for 20 seconds to start the Calc Clean Program. (fig 11b)

IMPORTANT:
this program will last 4 to 6 minutes.
