[. . . ] GB IMPORTANT Read this manual thoroughly before using the appliance. This will ensure optimum results and maximum safety. Save these instructions for future reference. WARNINGS Read the following instructions carefully. · IN PARTICULAR: · Never touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet. [. . . ] (12) Steam generator on indicator light Indicates that the steam generator ON/OFF switch has been pressed for steam ironing. (13) "Steam ready" indicator light This indicator light comes on when the steam generator ON/OFF switch is turned on and goes off when the iron reaches the steam ironing temperature. The indicator light goes on and off during ironing. (14) Steam generator water level indicator lights These indicator lights measure the progressive consumption of water in the steam generator. As the water level drops, the indicator lights go out. When all the indicator lights are on, the water is at maximum level (the steam generator is full), when just one indicator light remains on, the water is at minimum level (about to run out). To ensure correct operation of the water level indicator lights, the start button must be pressed only after the steam generator has been completely filled. (15) "No water" indicator light The "no water" indicator light flashes when the steam generator is empty and requires topping up. (16) "Start" button The start button tells the appliance that the steam generator has been filled. Press (and hold down until all the water level indicator lights come on) only after the steam generator has been completely filled. Whenever the "START" button is pressed when the steam generator is not completely full, all the water indicator lights come on, leading to an erroneous indication of the level of water in the appliance. (17) "Check control" indicator The electronic system controls operation of the appliance each time it is turned on (the indicator light flashes three times then goes off). If this light remains on, it indicates that, although still in perfect working order, the iron should undergo a general check at an authorised service centre (see annexed list). When the indicator light comes on, you can continue to use the iron normally, but should have it checked as soon as possible to keep it in perfect working order. NB: have the iron checked by an authorised service centre only. (18) Steam regulation knob The steam regulation knob enables the quantity of steam to be increased or decreased. 5 DESCRIPTION 1) Steam button lock (certain models only) 2) Steam discharge button 2A)Steam discharge button (certain models only) 3) Iron thermostat knob 4) "Iron at temperature" indicator light 5) Steam generator cap 6) Iron rest 7) Funnel (certain models only) 8) Water measuring bottle (some models only) Control panel 9) "Iron on" indicator light 10) Iron ON/OFF switch 11) Steam generator ON/OFF switch 12) "Steam generator on" indicator light 13) "Steam ready" indicator light 14) Water level indicator lights 15) "No water" indicator 16) "Start" button 17) "Check control" indicator 18) Steam regulation knob USEFUL TIPS · The original appearance and softness of fabrics such as velvet or wool, or gloves, bags etc. can be restored by passing the iron a short distance away with the steam jet in operation. · To remove the marks left by furniture and restore carpets to new, allow the steam to penetrate into the flattened pile and brush lightly. · Do not rest or use the iron on zips, hooks, rings etc to avoid scratching the plate. · Keep the surface of the plate clean. To clean, when cold, wipe the surface with a damp cloth. The iron must never be treated with descaling products. · After use, always wait for the iron to cool down before putting away. [. . . ] · If you think there is sufficient water in the steam generator, wait until the "iron at temperature" (4) and "steam ready" (12) indicator lights go out before starting to iron. · If on the other hand you think the steam generator needs topping up in order to iron for a longer period, turn the appliance off using the steam generator (11) and iron (10) ON/OFF switches. Proceed as described in the paragraph: "Filling the steam generator and connecting to the mains". Steam button lock (1) This device allows a continuous output of steam to be obtained by keeping the steam button pressed down mechanically, avoiding the need to do so manually. [. . . ]
