USE
4 • Switching on your steam
generator
• Press on the on / off switch - fig. 8, it
begins flashing. The green light located
on the control panel flashes
• 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.
•
The steam generator and the iron are ready
for use when the steam indicator light is on
and the iron light goes out.
5 • Operating the control
panel
•
Flashing green light -
fig. 8
: the water is
heating up in the boiler.
•
Continuous green light -
fig. 10
: steam is
ready for use.
•
Flashing red light -
fig. 13
: the tank is
empty.
• The
“Calc Away System” or the “boiler
rinse" orange indicator flashes -
fig. 15
or fig. 21
(according to model) : the
collector / boiler needs to be rinsed.
6 • Using your steam
generator
• Place the iron’s temperature control - fig.
9
to the type of fabric to be ironed (see
table below).
• The iron temperature control light turns
on. Important: whenever you start using
your iron and whenever you reduce the
temperature during use, the iron is ready
for use when its indicator light goes out
and when the green light located on the
control panel comes on and remains on.
• During use, when you increase the
temperature of the iron, you can start
ironing immediately.
• ECO Mode: Your steam
generator has an ECO mode function
which uses less power whilst still
guaranteeing a sufficient steam output for
you to iron your garments properly.
In order to use this function, once the
thermostat of your iron has been correctly
set (see table above), press on the ECO
button located on the control panel.
The ECO mode can be used on all types of
fabrics, nevertheless for very thick or very
creased fabrics we recommend that you
deactivate ECO mode (by pressing the
ECO button again) to guarantee the best
results.
• During ironing the iron indicator light
switches on and off according to heating
requirements but this has no effect on
use.
The first time the appliance is used,
there may be some fumes and a slight
smell this is not harmful and will quickly
disappear.
