exclusively for domestic use and must not
be used for industrial purposes.
• This appliance must be used only for
the purposes for which it was designed,
i.e. as an iron. Any other use will be
considered improper and consequently
dangerous. The manufacturer will not be
held responsible for any damage arising
from misuse or improper use.
• This appliance is to be connected and
used in accordance with the information
stated on its characteristics plate.
• This appliance must be connected to
an earthed socket. If it is absolutely
necessary to use an extension cable,
make sure that it is suitable for 16A and
has a socket with an earth connection.
• If the safety fuse tted in the appliance
blows, the appliance will be rendered
inoperative. To restore normal operation
the appliance will have to be taken to an
authorised Technical Service Centre.
• In order to avoid that, under
unfavourable mains conditions,
phenomena like transient voltage drops
or lighting uctuations can happen,
it is recommended that the iron is
connected to a power supply system
with a maximum impedance of 0.37 Ω.
If necessary, the user can ask the public
power supply company for the system
impedance at the interface point.
• The appliance must never be placed
directly under the tap to ll the water tank.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains
supply after each use, or if a fault is
suspected.
• The electrical plug must not be removed
from the socket by pulling the cable.
• Never immerse the iron in water or any
other uid.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to
weather conditions (rain, sun, frost, etc.)

• This appliance reaches high temperatures
and produces steam during use, this
could cause scalds or burns if not used
properly.
• The steam hose, base station, metal plate
at the bottom of the removable iron pad
(2) and in particular the iron can get hot
when used. This is normal.
• Never aim the steam at people or
animals.
• Do not allow the power cable to come into

1. Preparations
1. Release the iron from its lock system (3)
by pulling the lever located at the heel of
the iron backwards.
2. Remove any label or protective covering
from the soleplate.
3. Place the appliance horizontally on a
solid, stable surface. You may remove
the iron pad from the appliance and place
the iron on it on another solid, stable,
horizontal surface.
4. Fill the water tank, making sure not to
pass the “max” level mark.
5. Unwind the mains cable (13) fully and
plug it into an earthed socket.
6. Set the power button (10) to the on
position.
7. The appliance will shift automatically to
the “i-Temp Advanced” programme (see
section 3.1). The corresponding indicator
light (7) will ash, and after a few minutes,
will remain lit continuously. Two beeps will
be heard indicating that the appliance is
ready to use.
The steam generator will take more time
to reach this state only upon the initial
heating up, or after performing the de-
scaling operation (Calc’nClean).
When water is already present in the
steam generator during regular use,
heat up time to reach the operating
temperature will be faster.

8. This appliance has a built-in water level
sensor. The “Water tank empty” indicator
light (5) will light and three beeps will
be heard when the water tank has to be
lled.
Attention! If the water tank is empty
when one of the ironing programs
is selected, the indicator light (7)
corresponding to such programme will
ash until the water tank is lled.
Important:
• Normal tap water can be used. To prolong
the optimum steam function, mix tap
water with distilled water 1:1. If the tap
water in your area is very hard, mix tap
water with distilled water 1:2.
• You can inquire about the water hardness
with your local water supplier.
• The water tank can be lled at any time
while using the appliance.
• To avoid damage and/or contamination
of the water tank and the boiler, do not
put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling
agents, additives or any other type of
chemical product into the water tank.
Any damage caused by the use of the
aforementioned products, will make
the guarantee void.
• The iron is not designed to rest on
its heel. Please always position it
horizontally on the iron pad (2).
• The iron pad can be placed into the
specially designed recess on the
appliance or somewhere suitable
alongside the ironing area.
Never rest the iron on the appliance
without the iron pad!
• During its rst use the iron may produce
certain vapours and odours, along with
white particles on the soleplate, this
is normal and it will stop after a few
minutes.
• While the steam release button is
pressed, the water tank may produce a
pumping sound, this is normal, indicating
that water is being pumped to the steam
tank.
2. Programme selection
Your steam station has a programme
selector (9) for choosing the different ironing
programs.
Each programme automatically sets an
appropriate combination of temperature and
steam which is suitable for the kind of
garment selected.
By turning the programme selector you can
choose the kind of garment and fabric to be
ironed. The corresponding indicator light (7)
will ash until the temperature and steam
level suitable for the programme selected
are reached.
From this moment on, the indicator light will
remain lit continuously and two beeps will
be heard indicating that the appliance is
ready to use.
If the garment to be ironed does not
correspond to any of the programs supplied,
check the temperature instructions shown
on the care label of the garment.

Tips:
• Sort your garments out based on their
cleaning symbol labels, always starting
with clothes that have to be ironed at the
lowest temperatures.
• For mixed fabrics, select the temperature
corresponding to the most delicate fabric.
• If you are not sure what the garment
is made of then begin ironing at a low
temperature and decide on the correct
temperature by ironing a small section not
usually seen when worn
• At the beginning of each use, it is
possible that drops of water will be
dispensed alongside steam.
Therefore, it is advisable to try the iron
on the ironing board or a piece of cloth to
start with.
• For better ironing results, iron the last
strokes without steam to dry the garment.
3. Special programs
3.1 “i-Temp Advanced”
programme
This steam station has an “i-Temp
Advanced” programme. If this programme is
selected, an appropriate combination of
temperature and steam is set, which is
suitable for all fabrics that can be ironed.
The “i-Temp Advanced” programme
prevents clothes from being damaged due
to an unsuitable temperature being
selected.
The “i-Temp Advanced” programme does
not apply to fabrics that cannot be ironed.
Please check the garment care label for
details or try ironing on a part of the cloth
not visible normally.
3.2 “AntiShine” programme
This steam station has an “AntiShine”
programme. If this programme is selected
and the steam release button (14 or 15*) is
regularly pressed, the risk of shiny marks
on the garment due to the ironing is
reduced.
3.3 “Calc’nClean” programme
See section 11.

4. “PulseSteam” function

tackling difcult creases.
When the steam release button is activated,
the steam generator will release three
powerful shots of steam so that the steam
reaches even deeper into the fabrics.
Briey press the steam shot button (15*) on
the top of the handle.
Remarks:
• It is possible to stop the shots of steam by
quickly pressing the steam button again.
• Some water drops may appear when you
use the “PulseSteam” function for the rst
time.
The water drops will disappear after you
have used the function for some time.
5. “Intelligent steam” function

which, after releasing the steam release
button (14 or 15*), provides a small amount
of additional steam.
The additional steam can always be
stopped by briey pressing the steam
release button once again.

garments that are being worn.
Never aim the steam at people or
animals.
