BEFORE USE
Before using the Power Perfection for the rst time,
remove all stickers, protective plastic or cardboard
packaging from the soleplate of the iron.
Make sure that all adhesive parts have been removed
from the soleplate using a damp soft cloth and remove
any residues or particles from the manufacturing
processbyrepeatedlyllingandemptyingthewater

When you switch on the Power Perfection
for the rst time, you may notice an
unpleasant smell, a little smoke and some
impurities. They will disappear in a few minutes.
When using the steam function for the rst time,
do not direct the steam jet on the garments
because manufacturing residues may be present
in the steam dispenser.
FILLING THE WATER
RESERVOIR
Water plays an essential role both in the ironing
use of the appliance.
• Use the supplied mat with compact generator,
and keep iron in a horizontal position.
Replacing the fuse

Removing the plug
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable throu-
gh partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:
• the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewi-
reable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
or:
• the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp
cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in complian-
ce with BS 5733) which is accessible without
moving the appliance.

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.
