• Keep packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, staples, etc.) away from children, as they are potential sources of danger. These materials must be collected separately.
• Ensure the rating information on the appliance matches your electrical grid. Installation must follow manufacturer's instructions, considering the maximum power indicated. Incorrect installation can cause damage to people, animals, or things.
• If using adapters, multi-sockets, or extension cords, ensure they comply with current safety standards. Do not exceed the power consumption limits indicated on the adapter/extensions or the maximum power shown on multi-adapters.
• Do not leave the appliance plugged in unnecessarily. Unplug the appliance from the power supply when not in use.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply if left unattended.
• Cleaning operations must be performed after unplugging the appliance.
• If the appliance is out of order and you decide not to repair it, render it unusable by cutting the power cord.
• Do not bring the power cord near sharp objects or hot surfaces. Do not pull the cord to disconnect the plug.
• Do not let the cord hang where a child could reach it.
• Do not use the product if the power cord, plug, or appliance is damaged or short-circuited. Have it repaired by an authorized service center.

• Keep the product and its power cord out of the reach of children under 8 years old.
• If the power cord is damaged, or in case of failure or malfunction, do not tamper with the appliance. Any repair must be carried out by the manufacturer or its authorized technical service, or by a similarly qualified person, to prevent any risk. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the appliance's safety and invalidate the warranty.
• WARNING: This appliance includes a heating function. Surfaces, other than functional surfaces, may develop high temperatures. Since temperature perception varies by person, use this device with CAUTION. Hold the appliance exclusively by the grip surfaces intended to be touched.
• This appliance is intended for household and similar applications, such as staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, other working environments, hotel/motel guests, and rural/residential accommodations.

General Information

WARNING: Before use, make sure that the voltage selector is set on the proper voltage.

During the first use, the plate may emit smoke. This smoke will disappear after a few uses.

When using the product for the first time, repeatedly use steam (away from clothes) and try ironing on a worthless piece of cloth to remove any manufacturing residues that may stain or scratch the fabric.

When not in use, the iron must be stored upright. Keep the power cord free from knots and tangles. Do not wrap the power cord around the iron, either before or after use.

It is recommended not to use the "steam shock" (steam shot) button too frequently, as it decreases the temperature of the iron plate, which may cause drips of water instead of steam.

Do not use the ironing system as a heating unit.

Always unplug before filling or emptying the tank.

Do not fill the tank above its maximum capacity and do not introduce mixtures for removing stains, vinegar, descaling agents, or chemicals in general into the tank.

Always select the most suitable temperature according to the fabric to be ironed.

The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface. When placing the iron on its iron stand, ensure the surface is stable. The iron should not be used if dropped, if it shows visible signs of damage, or if it leaks during operation.

CAUTION: the iron plate gets very hot during use. Be careful not to touch it, as there is a serious risk of burns. Do not put your face near the steam coming out of the iron plate.

Dual Voltage

The power supply can be 110-127V or 220-240V. To change the power supply, move the voltage selector (1) with a coin or screwdriver to the desired voltage.

WARNING: Before use, make sure that the voltage selector is set on the proper voltage.

Filling the Tank

This operation must be performed only when the plate has cooled down and the unit is unplugged from the electrical outlet. We recommend using demineralized water to prevent excessive scaling (not covered by warranty).

1. Place the steam control knob (3) on "0". Open the water tank lid (2).
2. Add water up to the maximum level (70ml). Close the lid (2).

Temperature Setting

The following table provides a guideline for adjusting the thermostat according to international symbols on clothing labels or fabric type:

It is recommended to iron clothes requiring low temperatures first, then medium and high temperatures. This saves time as the ironing plate heats up faster than it cools down.

If the fabric composition is unknown, iron an inconspicuous part of the garment, starting from the lowest temperature to find the most suitable one.

If the fabric becomes shiny, iron it on the inside to avoid damage. When ironing at maximum temperature, it is recommended to place a cloth between the ironing plate and the fabric.

Setting the Temperature

1. Place the iron vertically. Plug the device into the electrical outlet.
2. Select the temperature regulator (9) according to the symbols shown on the previous page. The chosen symbol must be aligned with the mark on the iron body. The iron plate temperature control light (6) indicates that the plate is heating up. Wait until the light turns off to start ironing.

Caution: During ironing, the control light periodically turns on, indicating that the temperature is constant. If you lower the thermostat, do not start ironing until the iron temperature control light turns off.

Steam Ironing

Before using steam, check that there is sufficient water in the tank. Activate steam using button (3).

Caution: The iron produces continuous steam only if held horizontally and the plate is hot. Continuous steam can be stopped by placing the iron vertically or setting the steam button (3) to "0". Use steam only at high temperatures to avoid water dripping.

Steam Burst

Steam Jet: Press the steam-shot button (4) for a vigorous jet of steam that penetrates fibers and softens stubborn creases. Wait a few seconds before pressing again.

Pressing the button periodically can also be used to freshen curtains, hanging clothes, etc.

Caution: The steam shot function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the jet when the temperature control light turns on, and resume when it turns off.

Dry Ironing

To perform dry ironing, set the steam button (3) to the "0" position. In this position, steam emission is disabled, and the water spray function is also unavailable.

Cleaning and Storage

Cleaning

Before cleaning any part of the appliance, ensure the unit is unplugged from the electrical outlet and the ironing plate is no longer hot.

Any residue on the ironing plate can be removed with a damp cloth or non-abrasive detergents. Do not scrape the plate with metal sponges or metal objects.

Plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral detergent, then wiped with a dry cloth. Do not immerse the appliance in water.

Before Storing

• Unplug the system from the outlet.
• Empty the water tank by turning the appliance upside down and shaking it gently.
• Allow the plate to cool down completely.
• Close the handle with button (5).
