ough to produce steam.

agents or additives in the water
ironing.

you have ironed a new garment be-
fore washing it.
You are ironing at too high a tempe-

SOLUTIONS
Press the steam control button conti-
nuously for few minutes pointing it
away from your linen, in order to
prime the pump.
Make sure the anticalc cartridge is
installed and locked in its compart-
ment.
Set the thermostat control in the co-
loured zone (••• or MAX).
Fill the tank.
Press on the steam control button
away from your ironing board until
the iron produces steam.
Set the iron at 3 dots (••• or MAX)
and wait for the iron thermostat light
to go out before activating the steam
button again.
Check that your ironing board is
suiatable. We recommend that you
use a vented/mesh type ironing
board.
Never add this type of product in the
water tank (see § "for what water
may be used"). Contact an Approved
Service Centre.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to
remove any soap deposits or chemi-
cals on new garments which may be
sucked up by the iron.
See our recommendations regarding
temperature control setting.
Always spray starch on the reverse
side of the fabric to be ironed.
Stop using your maxi steam iron and
contact an Approved Service Centre.
Replace the anti calc cartridge with a
new one then press the reset button
for a minimum of 3 seconds.
Press the reset button until the light
stops flashing.
