USING YOUR IRON
Temperature selection and steam
adjustment (B)
If your Power Perfection is equipped with the Optimal
Soleplate Temperature technology, you need not
adjust the temperature.
1. Connect the plug of the appliance to a grounded
socket (220/240V).
2. Press the ON button (18) - it will light up to show
that the steam generator is ON.
3. Wait until the temperature indicator light turns off
before starting ironing.
4. Select the appropriate steam setting by means
of the steam control (16) or set it to the Min
position to iron without steam. As soon as the
selected steam quantity is available, the Steam
Ready indicator light (20) will turn on.
5. You can iron all the types of fabrics that can be
ironed in any order.
In the version with no Optimal Soleplate Temperature
technology, follow the instructions below.
1. Connect the plug of the appliance to a grounded
socket (220/240V).
2. Press the ON button (18) - it will light up to show
that the steam generator is ON.
3. Use the temperature control (21) to select the
desired temperature. Every time you rotate the
temperature control, the temperature indicator
light (2) turns on to show that the temperature
is changing.
4. When the iron reaches the set temperature, the
temperature indicator light turns off to show that
the iron is ready for use.
5. Check the type of fabric on the garment label. If
you don't know the type of fabric, we recommend
ironing a hidden part in order to determine
the most appropriate temperature and avoid
damaging the fabric. Silk, wood and synthetic
fabrics: iron the garment inside out to prevent
any shiny marks. Start with the garments that
require a low temperature, e.g. synthetic fabrics.
6. Select the appropriate steam setting by means
of the steam control (16) or set it to the Min
position to iron without steam. As soon as the
selected steam quantity is available, the Steam
Ready indicator light (20) will turn on.
process and in the good operation of the appliance
over a long lifespan. In particular, a high concentration
of limescale may damage some parts of the iron and
cause its early deterioration.
Power Perfection water tank has a capacity of 1000ml
with extra 200ml boiler.
Suitable water
Although the Power Perfection steam generator can
be used with tap water, if the water is very hard (as
measured in French degrees), we recommend mixing
tap water and demineralised water according to the
following table.
Hardness
degree [°f]
Proportion
[tap water:demineralised water]
7°f 1:0
7°f - 14°f 1:0,5
14°f - 22°f 1:1
22°f - 32°f 1:2
32°f - 54°f 1:3
>54°f 0:1
To determine the hardness degree of the water in
your area, contact your local water board or body.
This data is sometimes available on the board/body's
website too.
