temperature.
3. Use the temperature buttons +/- (4a) to select
the desired temperature. An acoustic signal
is emitted every time you press one of the two
buttons, the display lights up and starts flashing
to indicate that the steam iron is reaching the
selected temperature.
4. When the iron reaches the set temperature, an
acoustic signal is emitted, the LCD lights up in

mode to indicate that the iron is ready for use.
5. Make sure to check the garment label in order
to identify the fabric type. In case of doubts, it
is recommended not to the use spray function
and iron a hidden corner in order to determine
the most appropriate temperature and avoid
damaging the fabric. In case of very delicate
fabrics, such as silk, wool, and synthetic
materials, iron the garment inside out to prevent
shiny marks. Start ironing the garments that
require a lower temperature, such as synthetic
fabrics.
Fabrics with this symbol on the label
must not be ironed.

6. Select the steam level with the steam regulator
(3) or move it to Off to iron without steam. When
steam ironing, make sure that the water level in
the reservoir is at least ¼.
BEFORE USE
Before using the appliance for the first time, remove
all stickers, protective plastic or cardboard case from
the soleplate of the iron.
Make sure that all adhesive parts have been
removed from the soleplate with a dampened soft
cloth and eliminate any residues or particles from
the manufacturing process, by repeatedly filling and
emptying the water reservoir.
When switching on the iron for the first
time, you may notice an unpleasant odour, a
little smoke and some impurities that 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 of the possible
presence of manufacturing residues in the steam
dispenser.
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.
Filling the water reservoir (A)
We recommend using demineralised water.
Before filling the iron with water, make sure that
the iron is switched-off and disconnected from the
electrical socket.
1. Set the steam regulator (3) to Off.
2. Tilt the iron in such a position to make water
entrance easier.
3. Open the lid of the filler hole (13) and fill the water
reservoir using the water measurer supplied with
the iron. Never fill the water reservoir above the
maximum water level (10).
4. Close the lid of the filling hole.
USING THE IRON
In order to make reading this instructions manual
easier and identify the model of your Quick Perfect
iron, refer to the graphics on page II.
Your iron is supplied with Power Off System
safety device which automatically switches
the iron off when it is left unattended or tips over
and ensures maximum safety.
