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.

Fabric not to be ironed

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 “

”

[Fig. 1]

.

- Open the Filler door (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  and taking care 

not to go over the maximum level (about 

280

ml) indicated by “

MAX

” on the 

reservoir 

[Fig. 2]

.

- Close the Filler door (C).

Selecting the temperature.

- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.

».

- Set the thermostat knob (I) to the maximum temperature and wait for

the pilot light (L) to turn off.

- Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron horizontally over the sink.

- Hold the cleanout button (J ) setting until all the boiling water, steam,

impurities come out 

[Fig. 7]

.

- When the soleplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth.

AFTER THE IRONING

- Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket.

- Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and

  gently shaking it.

- Leave the iron to cool down completely.

- Roll up the power cord with the rewinder 

[Fig. 8]

.

- Always store the iron in a vertical position.

ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING

We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have 

unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).

If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to 

the temperature of the fibre 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 fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.

The size is more effective 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, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out. 

To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the 

fibre) and do not press down on the iron.

The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out
