If the garment is made from mixed fabrics, set the temperature for the most delicate material. • For silk, woollen or synthetic materials iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains. Setting the steam amount (3) Your iron is equipped with a steam setting selection button (4) and with indicator lamps (5) showing the steam setting, according to the table below: Steam setting eco max steam off Indicator lamps Green Red Off Steam can be generated by gripping the handle (1), or by pressing the steam activation button (2). If the “eco” steam mode is selected, the energy consumption of the appliance will be reduced by means of reduction of electricity and water consumption. A good ironing result can be obtained on this setting for most garments. The steam setting can be changed by pressing the steam setting selection button (4). The iron runs through the following cycle: eco max steam off sensorSteam The “sensorSteam” function automatically switches off the iron when the handle is no longer gripped, thus increasing safety and energy saving. When plugging the iron in, during the irst minute: • The soleplate (13) heats up to the temperature corresponding to the selected setting. • The steam generation is blocked. • The green lamp (5) lashes. enen After the initial 1 minute period: • “eco” setting is automatically selected. • The green lamp (5) stops lashing. • The “activeControl Plus” indicator lamp (3) (clear light) goes on and starts lashing. From this moment on, when the handle (1) of the iron is gripped or if the steam activation button (2) is pressed at steam setting: • The “activeControl Plus” indicator lamp (3) stops lashing. • The pump starts working and steam is generated automatically.

Steam will automatically be produced: Temperature control (15) setting Steam setting •• eco ••• to “max” max Note: Once a steam ironing setting has been chosen using the temperature control (15), steam generation may be delayed for several seconds until the appropriate working temperature has been reached. Ironing without steam (5) This enables the iron to be used for dry ironing. • Grip the handle (1) and set the steam control to the setting. • The temperature control (15) adjusts the temperature of the soleplate (13).
