Important recommendations  
Safety instructions  
Please read these instructions carefully before first use. This product has been designed for domestic use only.  
Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no  
responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.  
For your safety, this appliance conforms to the applicable standards and regulations (Low Voltage,  
Electomagnetic Compatibility, Environmental Directives, as applicable...).  
Your steam generator is an electrical appliance. It should be used under normal conditions. It is intended for  
domestic use only.  
Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems:  
- a pressure release valve which, in the event of a malfunction, releases any excess steam;  
- a thermal fuse to prevent the appliance from overheating.  
Always plug your steam generator into:  
- an electrical installation with voltage between 220V and 240V.  
- an earthed socket.  
Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your  
guarantee.  
If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (10A) with an earth, and is fully  
extended.  
Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed socket.  
If the electric power cord or the iron-unit is damaged, it must be replaced by an Approved Service Centre in  
order to prevent any danger.  
Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord.  
Always unplug your appliance:  
- before rinsing out the boiler or before filling the water tank,  
- before cleaning your generator,  
- after each use.  
The appliance must be used and placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. When you place the iron on  
the iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you place it is stable.  
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental  
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction  
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.  
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.  
Never leave the appliance unattended :  
- when it is connected to the mains,  
- until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).  
The soleplate and generator iron-rest can become very hot and cause burns: never touch these parts.  
Never touch the electric cords with the soleplate of the iron.  
Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns. Handle your iron carefully, particularly when using the  
vertical steam function. Never direct the steam towards persons or animals.  
Before unscrewing the boiler rinse cap, wait until the generator is cold (unplugged for more than 2 hours).  
While rinsing out the boiler, never fill it directly under the tap.  
If you lose or damage the boiler rinse cap, have it replaced by an approved Service Centre.  
Never immerse your steam generator in water or any other liquid. Never hold it under the water tap.  
The appliance must not be used if it has fallen to the floor, shows evidence of damage, leaks or fails to function  
correctly. Never dismantle your appliance. To avoid any danger, have it inspected in an approved service  
centre.  
This appliance has been designed for domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to  
comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.

Locking – fig.2  
Unlocking – fig.3  
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) – fig.2  
- grasp the handle of the iron to carry your steam generator – fig.1  
Preparation  
Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used to allow any excess steam to escape  
and to avoid steam venting sideways.  
What water may be used ?  
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 distilled or 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  
(check with your local  
water authority) it is  
possible to mix untreated  
tap water with store-  
bought distilled or  
demineralised water in the  
following proportions :  
50% untreated tap water,  
50% distilled or  
demineralised water.  
Filling the water tank  
Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant surface.  
Ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the  
iron rest have cooled down.  
Open the water tank filler cover– fig.4.  
Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark – fig.5.  
Close the water tank filler cover.  
Using the Easycord system (according to model)  
Your iron is equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from  
dragging over the laundry and creasing it again when ironing.  
Take the steam cord out of its housing and unwind it completely.  
Remove the tie to release the cord outlet.  
Press the Eject button – fig.6 and the Easycord system extends automatically.  
When the cord outlet tips, the Easycord system extends automatically without  
you having to press the Eject button.

keep it pressed – fig.8. 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.

Rinsing the boiler  
To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler and avoid scale particles on Caution! Above all, you  
must not use descaling  
products to rinse the boiler:  
they may damage it.  
Before cleaning or  
your linen, your generator is equipped with an orange “boiler rinse” warning  
light that flashes on the control panel after about 10 uses – fig.12.  
If the orange “boiler rinse” warning light flashes, you can continue ironing  
normally but remember to rinse the boiler first, the next time that you use it.  
Before proceeding, check that the generator is cool and unplugged for more  
than 2 hours.  
emptying your generator, it  
is imperative that you  
leave it to cool for more  
than 2 hours, to prevent  
any risk of burns.  
with the rinsing accessory  
Use the accessory provided with the packaged product. It will make it easier to  
rinse the boiler as the generator will need less handling.  
Your rinsing accessory has been designed to work on a wide range of taps.  
Choose the seal (a or b) – fig.13. that is best suited to your tap.  
Place your steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron to one side,  
standing on its heel.
