Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-resistant work surface. 2. Remove the water tank by pulling the handles upwards (1). 3. Fill the water tank taking care not to exceed the maximum level (2). 4. Replace it pushing firmly down in its housing (3). GB (1) (2) (3) The water to use in your steam generator : Your steam generator has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, if your water is very hard, mix it 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water. Types of water not to use : Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance : water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered or bottled water. Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised above. 3 • USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR 1. Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed socket (4). 2. Press on the on / off switch (located on the front of the base unit) (a): the green light (located on the control panel) flashes and the boiler heats up (b).It will take around 2 minutes for steam to be produced which is indicated when the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (5). • The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly. • 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. If you are pressing on the steam control button at this time you may lose a little steam pressure momentarily. (4) (5) (a) (b) 4 • OPERATING THE CONTROL PANEL GB • Flashing green light : the water is heating up in the boiler. • Continuous green light : steam is ready for use. • Continuous red light : the water tank • Orange “boiler rinse” light flashes : your boiler needs rinsing. Note: the appliance must be cold (see section 11). • “Restart” button: -to be pressed briefly after each refill of the water tank to start ironing again (see section 6), -to be held pressed for 2 or 3 seconds after rinsing the boiler (see section 11). 5 • USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR 1. Place the iron’s temperature control to the type of fabric to be ironed (6). •Synthetics (low temperature) •• Silk/wool (medium temperature) ••• Cotton/Linen (high temperature)) 2. The iron temperature control light turns on. (6) when the green « steam ready » light stays continuous. 3. Adjust the steam output control dial located on the control panel (7), eg : less steam for low temperatures. Note : It is normal for the connection cord to become warm during use. SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND STEAM OUTPUT CONTROL DIAL ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED: Be careful ! the steam generator is ready when the iron temperature control light goes out and cotton-linensilk- woolsyntheticsMIN(7) Type of fabric Setting temperature control Setting steam output control dial Synthetics • (Low temperature)cotton-linen silk- wool synthetics MIN Silk / Wool cotton-linen silk-wool synthetics MIN •• (Medium temperature) Cotton / Linen cotton-linen silk- wool synthetics MIN ••• (High temperature) Recommendations: To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam control button several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam circuit. • Iron temperature control setting : - Start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those which need higher temperatures (••• or Max). - Mixed fibre fabrics : set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric. -Woollen garments : press repeatedly on the steam control button to obtain short bursts ofst...
