[. . . ] - Never place the iron under the tap to top up with water. - If the power cable is damaged, have it replaced immediately by a qualified electrician. - The safety of this appliance is guaranteed only if correctly connected to a proper and effective earth connection as specified by current electrical safety standards and regulations. This fundamental safety 4 requisite should be verified. [. . . ] a) Before filling the tank, make sure the steam regulator G is in the "dry" position (fig. Make sure the power cable is unplugged from the mains socket. b) Fill the measure to the level mark then pour the water into the iron (fig. It is important that the iron is always unplugged from the mains every time you fill or top up the water in the tank. d) A special segment on the thermostat dial B identifies the steam range. The steam will be wet if the thermostat pointer B is at the beginning of the segment and dryer if it is towards the end. Make sure the fabric to be ironed is suitable for steam ironing. When using the iron for the first time, you are recommended to pass it several times over a piece of cloth first. e) After these checks, select the required temperature by rotating the thermostat dial B. f) The indicator light C will come on to show the iron is on. After about a minute in the case of maximum temperature, the indicator light will go off showing that the iron is ready for use. g) Continuous steam delivery is obtained by turning the steam regulator G to the or (to obtain more steam) position. Steam delivery ceases whenever the iron is placed in a vertical position on the rear rest (position recommended during pauses in ironing) or with the iron horizontal when the steam regulator G is in the dry 7 position. Note: On the back of the iron there is a useful guide giving information on the temperature to set according to the garment being ironed: Remember that the steam function can only be used when the thermostat is on the segment. DRY IRONING Plug in the iron and select the temperature, if there is water in the tank, place the steam regulator G in the dry position (fig. Wait until the indicator light C goes off showing that the required temperature has been reached. If the fabric to be ironed is slightly damp or you iron fast, you can use a higher temperature. If, on the other hand, the garments are dry or you iron slowly, use a lower temperature. SUPER STEAM (FIG. 3) Place the thermostat dial (B) on maximum. When the light (C) goes off, press the super steam button (I). For correct operation of the super steam function, you must wait a few seconds between one burst of steam and the next. 8 VERTICAL IRONING (FIG. 4) Enables delicate garments to be steamed without resting them on the ironing board: pay attention to the temperature used to steam hanging fabrics. Place the steam regulator (G) in the dry position. [. . . ] If the amount of stream drops during use, this could be caused by excessive build-up of limescale. To remove, proceed as follows: fill the tank to the "MAX" level; plug the appliance into the mains and place the thermostat in the MAX position. When the iron has reached the required temperature (light off), unplug the applian10 ce and leave in a horizontal position; place over a sink; turn the steam regulator clockwise as far as it will go. The limescale rod is released and the regulator lifts up; shake the appliance gently to drain the water in the tank through the plate, taking the impurities with it; to replace the limescale rod in position, push and turn the steam regulator to the position; plug the appliance into the mains and leave in operation for at least two minutes to dry the plate.
