its tip fits into the special groove and close the
iron locking lid (11) using the special iron locking
button (12).
4. Wind the steam cable (13) and the power-supply
cord (10) around the special cord-rewinding clip
(9).

6. Let the steam generator cool down and store it in
a safe dry place.
You cannot use the handle to carry the iron
when it is locked in its special housing. To
carry the iron, first make sure the locking device
is in place ( closed lock) and the iron is locked in
its special housing. Then lift the iron by holding
its boiler base.
Cleaning (K)
Never use aggressive and/or abrasive
products to clean the plastic parts and the
iron soleplate.
1. Disconnect the appliance plug from the electrical
socket and let the steam generator cool down.
2. Clean the plastic parts of the steam generator
with a soft damp cloth and dry.
3. For routine cleaning and/or the removal of stains
or other residues deposited on the plate, use a
damp soft cloth and dry.
4. Use a damp cotton tip to remove any scale in the
steam holes that may impair the performance of
your steam generator.
In order to keep the soleplate perfectly
smooth and polished, avoid any contact
with metal objects and do not iron sharp objects
such as buttons, studs and hinges - they may
scratch the plate.
5. To clean the Pure Water filter (22), remove the
water reservoir and slide out the Pure Water
filter. Wash the filter under running water, taking
care that the jet of water is not too strong, and
then re-place it.
6. Regularly rinse the water reservoir (8) under
clean water. After cleaning, always empty the
water reservoir.
Scale removal (L)
If your steam generator is not equipped with the
descaling system Calc Proof, clean the vaporisation
chamber to remove any residual calcareous salts.
We recommend cleaning it every time the descaling
button (19) lights up. Follow the procedure below.
FEATURES
Vertical steam function (G)
The vertical steam function is useful to iron out
wrinkles from hanging garments, curtains etc. To use
this function just place your iron in a vertical position.
All the functions of the steam generator will remain
unchanged in this position - refer to paragraph “Using
the appliance”.
We also recommend using the shot-of-steam function
to iron any hanging garments, because it ensures an
extra steam flow that is excellent for such garments.
Do not direct steam towards people or
animals and do not iron garments while
worn.
Eco function (H)
Your Power Perfection steam generator is equipped
with an Eco function that allows energy savings of
30% compared to normal consumption in terms of
maximum steam level, thus always ensuring the
steam quantity needed to iron your garments.
To start the Eco function set the steam control (16) to
Eco ( ). When the Steam Ready indicator light (20)
turns on, you can start steam ironing.
Automatic switch-off function (I)
The automatic switch-off function ensures total safety.
This function automatically switches off the steam
generator when it is not used for a few minutes. In
particular, your Power Perfection will automatically
switch off after 11 minutes if it is left unused in the
ironing position, on one side or in a vertical position.
If you leave the steam generator unattended, a buzzer
will sound to inform you that the automatic switch-off
function is active. To restart it, just press the ON/OFF
button.
Wait for the Steam Ready indicator light to
turn on again and for the temperature
indicator light to turn off before start ironing
again.
