ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin lter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale build-up in the
plate. The resin lter is permanent and does not need replacing.
Please note:
Use tap water only. Distilled and demineralised water makes the anti-calc system ineective by altering
its physicochemical characteristics.
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalciers. Failure to comply with the above-
mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.
Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point where no
more steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks or stains. In these
cases, the Anti-drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron
the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF (for model IA-200)
The automatic shut o device trips after the iron has been left for approx. eight minutes in the
upright position or unused for approx. thirty seconds in the horizontal position. The green ashing
light and beeps comes on to indicate that shut o has tripped. As soon as you move the iron, this
function turns o and the iron starts working again.

general instructions
When using the iron for the rst time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some
sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also
recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the rst time.
PREPARATIONS
Sort the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label, or if
this is missing, according to the type of fabric.
GARMENT LABEL

fabric not to be ironed
Start ironing the garments requiring low temperature.
This reduces the waiting time (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates
the risk of scorching the fabric.

GB
SUGGESTIONS BEFORE USING THE IRON FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased; therefore the iron could give o a little
smoke when plugged in for the rst time. This will cease after a short time.
2. Before using the iron for the rst time, remove the plastic protector from the soleplate (if
present). Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the soleplate very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (such as against the uncovered
ironing board, buttons, zips etc).
4. Pure wool garments (100% wool) can be ironed with the appliance in the steam position. You
should select preferentially a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth.

Filling the reservoir
- Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
- Move the steam selector (3) to
[Fig. 1].
- Open the lid (2).
- Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overowing.
- Slowly pour the water into the tank and taking care not to go over the maximum level (about
300ml) indicated by “MAX” on the tank [Fig. 2].
- Close the lid (2).
10
GB
Selecting the temperature
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket (green light goes on in model
IA-200 and no indication light illuminate in model IE-200).
- Adjust the thermostat dial (10) [Fig. 3]. The plate
temperature control light (red) indicates that the iron is
heating up. Wait until the plate temperature control light
goes o before ironing.
Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature control light
comes on at intervals, indicating that the selected temperature
is maintained. If you lower the thermostat temperature after
ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the
plate temperature control light comes on again.
Selecting the steam
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).
Move the steam selector to a position between minimum
and maximum depending on the quantity of steam
required and the temperature selected [Fig. 1].
Warning: the iron gives o steam continuously only if you
hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam
by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the
steam selector to
. You can only use steam at the highest
temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water
may drip onto the plate.
11
GB
Selecting Shot of steam and steam when ironing vertically.
Press the shot of steam button (5) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the
fabrics and smooth the most dicult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing
again [Fig. 4].
By pressing the shot of steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung
garments, etc.) [Fig. 5].
Warning: the shot of steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emission when
the plate temperature control light (6) comes on, than start ironing again only after the light has gone
o.
dry ironing
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section “steam ironing”, leaving the steam selector
(3) on position
.
Spray Function
Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button (4) slowly (for a dense spray)
or quickly (for a vaporized spray) [Fig. 6].
Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using the spray
function (4), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining, do not use the
spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.

GB
cleaning
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance plug is not
connected to the socket.
Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or an
non-abrasive liquid detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.
self-cleaning
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the plate, removing impurities. We recommend using it
every 10-15days. Directions:
- Fill the reservoir up to the maximum level indicated and set the steam selector
- Set the thermostat dial (10) to the maximum temperature and wait for the light (6) to turn o.
- Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
- Hold the cleanout button (11) setting until all the boiling water, steam, and impurities come out
[Fig. 7].
- When the soleplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth.
how to put it away
- Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket.
- Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
13
GB
- Leave the iron to cool down completely.
- Roll up the power cord with the rewinder [Fig. 8].
- Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
advice for good ironing
• We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual nishes (sequins,
embroidery, ush, etc.).
• If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton and 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature
of the bre requiring the lower temperature.
• If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by testing
on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until
it reaches the ideal temperature.
• Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate xes the stains
on the fabric, making them irremovable.
• The size is more eective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat scorches
it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
• To avoid marking silk, woollen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.
• To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the bre) and do not
press down on the iron.
• The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased. This also
happens when the spin drying revolutions are very high.
• Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry. For example, silk should always be
ironed damp.
