3- PREPARING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1.To carry your steam generator by the iron handle : - place the iron on the iron rest of the generator and raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible click) (1). - grasp the handle of the iron to carry your steam generator (2). 2. Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant surface. 3. Grasp the handles of the removable tank and pull horizontally to remove it (3). 4. Fill up the water tank taking care not to exceed the maximum level just below the filler cover (4). 5. Replace it firmly in its housing, making sure it is fully into place (5).
The water to use in your steam generator :
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation.The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilledor demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water. If your water is very hard mix 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled or demineralised water.

4- USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
1. Push the retaining clip forward to release the iron(6). 2. Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed socket (7). 3. Press on the on / off switch (located on the side of the base unit) (a): the green light (located on the control panel) flashes and the boiler heats up (b).It will take around 2 minutes for steam to be produced which is indicated when the green steam ready light stops flashing (8).
The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.
5- OPERATING THE CONTROL PANEL
Flashing green light : the water is heating up in the boiler. Continuous green light : steam is ready for use. Continuous red light : the water tank is empty. Orange boiler rinse light flashes : your boiler needs rinsing. Note: the appliance must be cold (see section 11). Restart button: - to be pressed after each refill of the water tank to start ironing again (see paragraph 7), - to be held pressed after rinsing the boiler (see paragraph 11).
6- USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
Place the iron's temperature control slide according to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table + 9). The thermostat light comes on. Be careful ! The steam generator is ready when the thermostat light goes out and when the green steam ready light stays on. Adjust the steam output control dial (located on the control panel - 10). While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on and off, according to the heating needs without any disturbing the use. To obtain steam, press on the steam control button on top of the iron handle and keep it pressed (11).The steam will stop when you release the button. When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal.You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening. Again this is normal. Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SLIDE AND STEAM OUTPUT CONTROL DIAL ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED :
Type of fabric Linen Cotton
Setting the temperature control slide
Setting the steam output control dial

Wool Silk, Viscose

Synthetic, Polyester, Acetate, Acrylic, Polyamide
Iron temperature control slide setting: - Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature () and finish with those which need higher temperatures ( or Max). - Mixed fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric. - Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself. Steam output control dial setting: - Thick fabric: increase the steam setting. - At a low temperature : set the steam output control dial to the low position. To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam control button several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to be ejected from the steam circuit.
7- WHEN THE RED LIGHT WATER TANK EMPTY COMES ON
There is no more steam.The removable water tank is empty. 1. Grasp the handles of the removable tank and pull horizontally to remove it; fill with water. 2. Replace and push it firmly into place. 3. Press the restart button on the control panel to continue ironing (12).
8- VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
1. Set the iron temperature control slide and the steam output control dial (located on the control panel) to the MAX position. 2. Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. As steam is very hot, never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang garment on a coat hanger. 3. Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam control button (under the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom (13). Recommendations : for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.

Page 6

9- TURBO STEAM FUNCTION (depending on the model)
Press 2 or 3 times on the turbo steam button to obtain a more powerful burst of steam (14): for ironing thicker fabrics, to eliminate creases, for powerful vertical steaming. Be careful : use the turbo steam function very carefully because of the exceptional power of steam that may cause burns. NOTE : continuous use of the turbo steam function will begin to cool the iron and may cause water to drip from the iron. If this occcurs, stop using the turbo steam function and allow the iron thermostat to reach temperature again (thermostat light will come on and go off) before using this function again.

10- MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
Before cleaning, ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest have cooled down. Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the base-unit. Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap. Do not place the iron on a metal rest as this could damage it. Place it on the iron-rest on the base unit : it has non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures. 1. Empty and rinse the removable water tank (15). 2. Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad. 3. Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
11. THE ORANGE BOILER RINSE LIGHT FLASHES
Note: To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler and avoid scale particles on your linen, your generator is equipped with an orange boiler rinse warning light that flashes on the control panel after about 10 uses. If your water is hard, increase the frequency. Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.
1. TO RINSE THE BOILER USING RINSING ACCESSORY
For greater effectiveness and for ease of operation, you are advised to use the rinsing accessory provided in the box. It will make it easier to rinse the boiler as the generator will need less handling.

Page 7

Your rinsing accessory has been designed to work on a wide range of taps. It is supplied with 2 types of membrane (a) (b). Choose the one best suited to your tap. If you do not wish to, or cannot use the rinsing accessory, refer to the advice in paragraph II (below). Before attempting to rinse the boiler of your generator, it is essential to leave it to cool for at least 2 hours in order to avoid any risk of scalding. If the orange boiler rinse light flashes, you can continue ironing normally but remember to rinse the boiler first, the next time that you use it. 1. Check that the generator is cold and unplugged. 2. Place your steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron to one side, standing on its heel. 3. Unscrew the cord clip by turning a quarter turn to the left (16). 4. Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse plug (17). 5. Place the plastic nozzle 1 of the rinsing pipe into the hole of the boiler and turn gently to the right until it locks. The outlet of this nozzle must be positioned over the sink (18). 6. Connect the rubber end 2 of the rinsing pipe to a cold tap (19). 7.Turn the tap on gently and gradually and let cold water run through the rinsing pipe into the sink for about 1 minute (20). 8. Switch off the tap and remove the rinsing pipe. 9. Screw back and tighten up the boiler rinse plug with a coin. 10. Put the cord clip back in place.

11. The next time you use the generator, hold down the restart button to turn off the orange light.
