IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions

should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use appliance only for it’s intended use.

2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse

the appliance in water or other liquids.

3. The appliance should always be turned to “MIN” before

plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank the cord to

disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to

disconnect.

4. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet before

filling with water, emptying or when not in use.

5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surface. Let iron cool

completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around

iron when storing.

6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event

the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid risk of

electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a

qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect

assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the

iron is used after reassembly.

7. Not intended for use by children. Close supervision is

necessary for any appliance being used by or near children.

Unsupervised use can result in fire or personal injury. Do

not leave the appliance unattended while plugged in ,on an

ironing board, or while it is still hot.

8. Burns can occur from touching hot metals parts, hot water

or steam . Use caution when you turn the iron upside down.

There may be hot water in the reservoir.

9. The use of an accessory attachment is not recommended by

De' Longhi and may result in fire, electric shock or personal

injury.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTION

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate a high wattage

appliance on the same circuit.

2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an

ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating

of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating.

Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be

pulled or be tripped over.

3. After removing the packing, make sure the appliance is not

damaged .If in doubt do not use the appliance and contact

an authorized Customer Service Center.

4. To repair or if power cable is damaged and requires

replacement, contact your local dealer or an authorized

Customer Service Center, in order to avoid compromising

the efficiency of your appliance. For the same reason you

are always recommended to use original spare parts.

The use of all electrical appliances implies the observance of

some fundamental rules. IN PARTICULAR:

DO NOT IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER.

• Never use appliance in bathrooms.

• Never pull the power cable or the appliance with wet or

Read this manual thoroughly before using the appliance.

This will ensure optimum results and maximum safety.

Important: Before plugging the appliance in, check that the

outlet voltage corresponds to the voltage (V) indicated on

the rating plate of the iron. The outlet must be efficiently

grounded.

The first time you use the iron, remove the plate protection.

Note: When used for the first time, the appliance may give

out smoke and an odor for several minutes. This is caused

by heating and subsequent drying of the sealers used in

assembling the steam generator. You are recommended to

ventilate the room.

STEAM IRONING

Before steam ironing, make sure the fabric is suitable for this

kind of ironing. The machine works with normal tap water.

If the water is very hard, we suggest using demineralized

water diluted 50/50 with tap water. Never use

demineralized water. Never use chemical substances or

detergents (e.g. perfumed water, essences, descaling

solutions, etc).

a) Before filling the tank, make sure the steam regulator E

is in the position ("dry" position) (fig. 1). Make sure

the power cable is unplugged from the outlet.

b) Open the cover of the opening Cand pour the water

into the iron (fig. 2). It is important that the iron is

always unplugged from the outlet every time you fill or

top up the water in the tank.

c) Plug the iron into the outlet.

d) A special segment on the thermostat knob H

identifies the steam range. The steam will be wet if the

thermostat pointer His at the beginning of the segment

and dryer if it is towards the end. Make sure the fabric

to be ironed is suitable for steam ironing. When using

the iron for the first time, you are recommended to pass

it several times over a piece of cloth first.

e) After these checks, select the required temperature by

rotating the thermostat knob H.

f) The indicator light Dwill come on to show the iron is on.

After about a minute in the case of maximum

temperature, the indicator light will go off showing that

the iron is ready for use.

g) Continuous steam delivery is obtained by positioning

the steam regulator Ein the 1, 2 or 3 position (3= more

steam; 1= less steam). Steam delivery ceases whenever

the iron is placed in a vertical position on the rear rest

(position recommended during pauses in ironing) or

with the iron horizontal when the steam regulator Eis in

the dry position .

Note: On the back of the iron there is a useful guide giving

information on the temperature to set according to

the garment being ironed:

Remember that the steam function can only be used

when the thermostat is in the position.

DRY IRONING

• Plug in the iron and select the temperature, if there is

water in the tank, position the steam regulator Eon the

dry position (fig. 1).

• Wait until the indicator light Dgoes off showing that the

required temperature has been reached.

• If the fabric to be ironed is slightly damp or you iron

fast, you can use a higher temperature. If, on the other

hand, the garments are dry or you iron slowly, use a

higher temperature.

TURBO (SUPER STEAM) (FIG. 3)

• Place the thermostat knob Hon maximum.

• When the indicator light Dgoes off, press the super

steam button G.

For correct operation of the super steam function, you

must wait a few seconds between one burst of steam

and the next.

VERTICAL IRONING

Enables delicate garments to be steamed without resting

them on the ironing board: pay attention to the

temperature used to steam hanging fabrics.

Position the steam regulator Eon the dry position .

Rotate the thermostat knob Hclockwise as far as it will go

(maximum steam position). When the indicator light Dgoes

off, place the iron in a vertical position and move it near the

garment. Press the super steam button Guntil the

indicator light Dcomes on again. Wait until the light goes

off before continuing vertical ironing.

When the light (D) goes off, place the iron in an upright

position and move it near the garment, then press the turbo

button (G). For efficient vertical ironing, wait for a few
