Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.

This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to 

cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.

STEAM IRONING

Filling the reservoir

- Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.

- Move the steam selector (D) to «0» 

[Fig. 1]

.

- Open the lid (C).

- Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without 

overflowing.

- Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (18)

and taking care not to go over the maximum level (about 280ml) indicated 

by 

«MAX»

 on the reservoir 

[Fig. 2]

.

- Close the lid (C).

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

- Put the iron in a vertical position.

- Put the plug in the socket.

- Adjust the thermostat knob (I) according to the international symbol on

the garment label 

[Fig. 3]

. The plate indication light (L) indicates that the 

iron is heating up. Wait until the plate temperature control light goes off 

before ironing.

Warning:

during ironing, the plate temperature control light (L) 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.

SETTING THE STEAM

The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (D).

- 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 off 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 «

Please note:
Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralised water makes the 

“

Zero-Calc

”

anti-calc system ineffective by altering its physicochemical 

characteristics.
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifiers. 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 (ONLY ES2455-01 ES2455-02 )

The automatic shut off 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 light comes on to indicate that shut off has tripped. As soon as you
move the iron, the device turns off and the iron starts working again.

When using the iron for the first 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 first time.

PREPARATIONS

Soft 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.
