3 • Preparing your steam
generator
• Place the steam generator on a flat,
stable, horizontal and heat-resistant
surface.
• Lift the removable water tank (located at
the front of the steam generator)
pressing on the lock screw located on the
tank handle – fig. 4.
• Fill the tank with untreated tap water,
taking care not to exceed the maximum
level - fig. 5.
• Slide the tank back into its housing until
it “clicks” into place.
• Unwind the electrical power cord it
completely and remove the steam cord
from its housing- fig.6.
• Plug your steam generator into a mains
socket with an earth pin- fig.7.
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. 11
: steam
is ready for use.
•
Flashing red light -
fig. 15
: the tank is
empty.
• The
“Calc Away System” or the "boiler
rinse" orange indicator flashes -
fig. 17
(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
and set the steam output - fig. 10. See
the table here 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
temperature control 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, but make sure you
only increase your steam output once
the iron’s thermostat light has gone
out.
• 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), position the steam output
setting on the ECO segment.
The ECO mode can be used on all types
of fabrics, nevertheless for very thick or
very creased fabrics, we recommend
that you use the maximum steam output
for best results.
The first time the appliance is used,
there may be some fumes and a slight
smell this is not harmful and will quickly
disappear.
