Never submerge the iron in water or hold it
under a running tap.
Self-cleaning
In order to prevent the accumulation of harmful
minerals that may obstruct the iron, and to
guarantee correct heating and steam generation, we
recommend that you use this function at least once
a month, depending on frequency of use and the
hardness of the water in your area.
1. Turn the temperature selector to "MIN".
2. Slide the steam control knob to the dry iron
position (Fig. C).
3. Fill the water deposit to the maximum level.
4. Place the iron in an upright position, resting on
its support base.
5. Plug in the iron and turn the temperature dial to
“MAX”. Wait for the indicator light (4) to switch
off.
6. Turn the temperature selector to "MIN" and
unplug the iron.
7. Press and hold the self cleaning button (3).
The water will start to drip through the stream
holes. In order to make sure that all the water
has emptied out, rock the iron slowly from side
to side and forwards and backwards for 30
seconds. When rocking the iron, put the nose of
the iron slightly lower that the back end to make
sure that the water circulates completely. Let go
of the self cleaning button after one minute.
8. Iron over a damp cloth in order to clean the base.
9. When you have finished, leave the iron to cool
before storing.
11. IRONING TIPS
When selecting the temperature, follow the
instructions printed on the label of the garment
to be ironed. If the garment does not have a
label, use the table below:
TEMPERATURE TABLE
If you have any doubts about the composition
of the fabric, always begin ironing at a low
temperature on a concealed part of the garment
and slowly increase the temperature setting,
taking care not to spoil the fabric, until all the
creases have disappeared.
• Fabrics such as velvet, wool, etc., and items
such as gloves and bags, can be revamped
by slowly passing the iron a few inches
above them with the steam option on.
• Carpets can be made to look like new and
furniture marks eliminated by lightly steaming
the flattened area and then brushing gently.
• Divide the items to be ironed into
temperature groups and begin with those
that require the lowest setting.
• Silken fabrics should be ironed inside out.
• Wool, cotton and fine linen should be steam
ironed inside out. Alternatively, you can
iron them the right way round covering
them first with a thin piece of cloth to avoid
"shiny" results. Starched fabrics need to
be dampened slightly. For best results, iron
white and light coloured garments the right
way round, and dark and embroidered items
inside out.
• Linen fabrics should be steam ironed. Use
the spray option liberally and iron dark
garments inside out to avoid "shiny" results.
Iron lapels the right way round for best
results.

12. INFORMATION FOR THE
CORRECT DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL
AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES
At the end of its working
life, the product must not be
disposed of as urban waste.
It must be taken to a special
local authority differentiated
waste collection centre or to a
dealer providing this service.
Disposing of a household appliance separately
avoids possible negative consequences for
the environment and health deriving from
inappropriate disposal and enables the
constituent materials to be recovered to obtain
significant savings in energy and resources.
To remind you that you must collaborate with a
selective collection scheme, the symbol shown
appears on the product warning you not to
dispose of it in traditional refuse containers.
For further information, contact your local
authority or the shop where you bought the
product.
