INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 

Filling the tank before use
Make sure the iron is unplugged from the supply mains before filling the tank with water. 

• Set the steam control knob (B) onto “0” (Fig. 2).
• Open the door (A) by pushing it upwards and, holding the iron horizontally, fill the water tank up to the maximum level using the measuring beaker provided (Fig. 5). Close the cover (A) again. If your tap water is very hard, use natural mineral water; this helps the iron to last longer. Do not use distilled water.
• NEVER exceed the MAX mark when filling the tank.
• Do not pour vinegar, descalers or other scented substances into the tank; under penalty of immediate cancellation of the warranty. 
• If it proves necessary to add water while ironing, always turn off the iron and unplug the power cord before filling the tank with water. 
• Open the water filling cover and turn the iron upside down to empty the tank.

Turning on the appliance

• Rest the iron upright on the iron stand (H).
• Plug it into the socket. The temperature control lamp (E) turns on.
• Select the desired temperature by turning the temperature adjustment knob (F), lining it up with the reference (I) on the iron. When the iron reaches the selected temperature, the lamp (E) turns off (the temperature lamp turns off and on while ironing, indicating that the iron is maintaining the right temperature).
• Follow the instructions on the care label of the garment to be ironed so that the dots shown on the iron correspond to those shown on the label.

SUGGESTIONS

• Do not run the iron over zippers or other objects made of a hard material so as to not damage the anti-adherent coating.
• Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc…
• Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is advisable to start with those fabrics which require lower temperatures and move on to those which require progressively higher temperatures.
• If the material is made up of more than one type of fibre, always set the temperature to the fibre which requires less heat. For example, if the material is made up of 70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to position (•) (see table) without steam, that is, the temperature for synthetic fabrics.
• If you do not know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a part of the article which will not be seen. Do a test ironing on this part to establish the appropriate temperature (always start with a relatively low temperature and work up until the ideal temperature is reached). 

• Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one of the steam positions. To avoid pure wool, silk and synthetic materials becoming shiny, it makes good sense to iron them on the reverse side. For other materials, especially velvet, which can become shiny very easily, cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction only, using light pressure. The iron must be kept constantly moving over the fabric.

  

STEAM IRONING 

• Steam ironing is only possible at high temperature. Ensure that there is enough water in the water tank. Rest the iron upright on the iron stand (H). 

Insert the plug into the wall socket.

• Position the temperature adjustment knob (F) on position ••• or higher.
• When the temperature control lamp (E) turns off, turn the steam adjustment selector  (B) to the desired position. You get maximum steam dispensing by moving the selector to the “max” position. Steam is not dispensed when it is moved to “0” (Fig. 2).
• NOTE: this model is equipped with a drip-proof system that automatically blocks water from going from the tank to the holes of the soleplate. The drip-proof system automatically cuts out the steam function if the iron’s temperature should be too low.

Shot of steam

• If there is water in the tank and the temperature is set on ••• or on a higher level,  all you have to do is press the steam button (C).
• When you use the shot of steam and the temperature is too low, water may leak from the holes on the iron soleplate.

Spray button

• Make sure the steam adjustment selector is set on “0” and that there is water in the tank. Press the spray button (D). 
• It may be necessary to press the spray button repeatedly to activate this function.

DRY  IRONING

• Insert the plug into the wall socket. Move the steam adjusting knob (B) to “0”. Set the temperature control knob (F) according to the type of fabric to be ironed. Wait a few minutes for the soleplate to reach the set temperature.

VERTICAL IRONING

• You can use the jet of continuous steam for ironing hanging fabrics. This special ironing procedure serves to remove creases from curtains, fabrics, etc. Set the ironing temperature by turning the adjustment knob (I) past the symbol (•••). Put the curtain or fabric in the position you want to iron it vertically and press the steam button.
• If the temperature lamp is on, do not press the steam button more than three times in a row.
• Warning!
  Do not iron fabrics held by other people.

AFTER IRONING 

• Turn the temperature control knob (F) to «MIN» and the steam control knob (B) to “0”.
• Disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
• Put the iron in a vertical position and let it cool down. 
• Empty the tank: open the water filling cover (A), turn the iron upside-down and let the water pour out.
• Caution
  Let the iron cool down before emptying the tank: danger of burns.
• Wrap the power cord around the iron without pulling it too tight (Fig. 6). Store the iron in a vertical position.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

• Before cleaning the iron, make sure that it is disconnected from the power supply and that it has completely cooled down.
• Warning!
  Do not use abrasives for cleaning the soleplate. Try to keep the sole plate smooth: avoid contact with metal objects.
• Warning!
  Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. 
• Warning!
  Check the state of the power cable of your iron on a regular basis before using it, and if it is damaged, take it to the service centre closest to you to have it replaced only by specialised personnel.

Self clean system

• To prolong the life of your iron, we recommend that this procedure be carried out at regular intervals (once or twice a month).
• Fill the tank one-fourth full with water using the measure provided (Fig. 5). Set the iron on a stable surface in a vertical position on the iron stand (H). Plug it into the socket. Make sure the steam adjustment selector is set on "O". Position the temperature adjustment knob on "max". Heat the iron until the lamp (E) turns off a second time. Position the temperature adjustment knob on "min".  Unplug the iron and keep the iron in a horizontal position on a sink. Press the self clean button (M) and keep the iron in a horizontal position. Steam and boiling water will come out of the holes of the soleplate. They will remove the lime deposits and impurities that have accumulated inside the boiler. Gently move the iron back and forth until the tank is completely emptied
• Put the steam adjustment selector back on minimum "O" at the end of the self-cleaning procedure.
• Put the iron in a vertical position on its stand and wait for the soleplate to cool down completely.
• Make sure that the soleplate is completely dry before storing the iron.
• Before using the iron again, try it on an old piece of cloth to make sure that the soleplate and tank are clean and to allow residual water to vaporize.
• Cleaning the soleplate and shell
• Deposits and other residues on the soleplate can be removed with a rough cloth soaked in a vinegar/water solution.
• Clean plastic parts with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry them with a dry cloth.
• FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE RULES ABOVE CAUSES THE WARRANTY TO BE FORFEITED.

Troubleshooting Common Issues with the Ariete Steam Iron 6207

• No steam output: Ensure water tank is filled; check if the steam dial is activated; clean mineral deposits by using the self-cleaning function.
• Water leakage: Avoid overfilling; use distilled water; ensure proper heating before ironing.
• Iron not heating: Confirm power connection; reset thermostat; if problem persists, contact authorized service.
• Burn marks on fabric: Use appropriate temperature settings for fabric type; always test on a small area first.

Preventive care such as regular descaling and cleaning extends the iron’s lifespan. The Ariete Steam Iron 6207 typically comes with a warranty covering manufacturing defects, with customer support available via official Ariete service centers and online portals.
