STEAM IRONING
• T his model enables you to iron with steam at temperature position 1 (•). It has two steam flow rates, med.
20gr/m and max. 45gr/m. For correct use of the flow refer to the section "Ironing Recommendations".
VERTICAL IRONING
• I t enables you to remove creases from delicate garments without having to lay them on the ironing board:
jackets, coats, curtains, suede garments, etc.
• P lace the garment on a hanger, away from other garments, persons, ...
• S et the temperature selector at position (••), (•••) or (MAX), place the iron in the vertical position and
press the button. At position (••) you will obtain a more humid white steam which will be more apparent,
whereas at setting (•••) and (MAX) the steam is drier and, although the same flow is maintained, it will be
harder for you to see.

FILLING WITH WATER
• I f the water is running out, after 30 seconds aprox. water filling icon will blink to indicate water tank must
be refilled. Fig 2 (d). If the tank is not filled, pump will stop automatically within 1 minute to prevent
damaging it.

pump. In this case, press the On-Off switch, unplug the appliance and fill the tank with water. When
you press the On – Off switch again, this noise will disappear.
ANTICALC - SYSTEM
• T he Compact Vapor Generator is fitted with a replaceable anticalc – system consisting of a resin filter,
which retains the limy substances in the water, preventing these from reaching the steam chamber in the
sole-plate and thereby extending the life of your CVG. If you so wish, on this model you may replace the
resin so that the CVG is kept in optimum condition. If you want to replace the resin, we recommend you
to do it every 6 months. Changing the resin does not mean that you may overlook the advice about water
hardness given in the section "BEFORE STARTING TO IRON" .
• In the event of not changing the resin of this CVG, it will be subject to the effects of scale just like
as in other ironing systems.
• F or replacement and before removing it, make sure there is no water in the tank.
• T urn the part, situated in the heel of the appliance, in an anticlockwise direction as far as it will go, and the
arrow lines up with the open padlock (approx. 180º) and pull it back.
• T o replace it, line up the arrow with the open padlock and turn it in a clockwise direction, following the
directions in the drawing, pressing the part inwards at the same time, until reaching the padlock closed
position Fig 9.
• W hen the filter is in place, make sure that it DOES NOT STAND OUT of the back of the iron, otherwise
you will not have fitted it properly and water will leak from the tank.
