To determine the hardness degree of the water in
your area, contact your local water board or body.
This data is sometimes available on the board/body's
website too.
Filling the water reservoir (A)
Before every use and every time the no-water
indicator light turns on, fill the water reservoir:
1. Use the special handle to remove the water
reservoir (8).
2. When filling the reservoir, make sure the
maximum level shown on the reservoir is not
exceeded.
3. Re-place the water reservoir in the relevant
housing until it clicks into place.
4. Repeat the operation every time the water-level
indicator light (17) turns on.
5. Press the On / Off button to restart ironing after
filling the water tank.
Never add any perfume, vinegar, starch,
scale-removing agents, ironing products or
other chemicals in the water reservoir - unless
recommended by Hotpoint-Ariston. Never use
contaminated water.
USING YOUR IRON
Temperature selection and steam
adjustment
(B)
If your Power Perfection is equipped with the Optimal
Soleplate Temperature technology, you need not
adjust the temperature.
1. Connect the plug of the appliance to a grounded
socket (220/240V).
2. Press the ON button (18) - it will light up to show
that the steam generator is ON.
3. Wait until the temperature indicator light turns off
before starting ironing.
4. Select the appropriate steam setting by means
of the steam control (16) or set it to the Min
position to iron without steam. As soon as the
selected steam quantity is available, the Steam
Ready indicator light (20) will turn on.
5. You can iron all the types of fabrics that can be
ironed in any order.
In the version with no Optimal Soleplate Temperature
technology, follow the instructions below.
1. Connect the plug of the appliance to a grounded
socket (220/240V).
2. Press the ON button (18) - it will light up to show
in case of damage resulting from any improper
use of the appliance.
BEFORE USE
Before using the Power Perfection for the first time,
remove all stickers, protective plastic or cardboard
packaging from the soleplate of the iron.
Make sure that all adhesive parts have been removed
from the soleplate using a damp soft cloth and remove
any residues or particles from the manufacturing
process by repeatedly filling and emptying the water
reservoir.
When you switch on the Power Perfection
for the first time, you may notice an
unpleasant smell, a little smoke and some
impurities. They will disappear in a few minutes.
When using the steam function for the first time,
do not direct the steam jet on the garments
because manufacturing residues may be present
in the steam dispenser.
FILLING THE WATER
RESERVOIR
Water plays an essential role both in the ironing
process and in the good operation of the appliance
over a long lifespan. In particular, a high concentration
of limescale may damage some parts of the iron and
cause its early deterioration.
Power Perfection water tank has a capacity of 1000ml
with extra 200ml boiler.
Suitable water
Although the Power Perfection steam generator can
be used with tap water, if the water is very hard (as
measured in French degrees), we recommend mixing
tap water and demineralised water according to the
following table.
Hardness

Proportion
[tap water:demineralised water]
7°f 1:0
7°f - 14°f 1:0,5
14°f - 22°f 1:1
