• Untreated tap water: Your appliance has been designed to use untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water.
• Types of water not to use: Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: - water from clothes dryers - scented or softened water - water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners - rain water - boiled, filtered or bottled water
In order to ensure the best performance from your iron, these types of water should not be used for ironing.
To change the programme, use the remote control and click on one of the 3 central buttons. For example, if you want to activate the Dry mode, click on the Dry button and click on the start/stop button to start the programme.
To put the garments into the Care For You appliance, use the built-in clips. Press firmly on the top of the clips to open them and insert the garment you want. You can also use the hangers to hang clothes on the central bar and the shelf for cushions or other items.
The tank has a capacity of 1L and is removable. Pull the tank towards you to fill it with tap water without exceeding the maximum level. To put it back in place, insert the bottom first and push the tank until you hear a click.
The two handles for raising/lowering the masts must be pressed down and raised to the maximum until you hear a click and then lock the masts (blue tab). The masts must be extended to the maximum, otherwise the dewrinkling cabinet will close during operation.
It is preferable to install the appliance in a room with a free space of 20 cm around it. Do not install it in a bathroom or damp room. Do not install near a heat source.
Steam mode (1) You can adjust the dewrinkling time in 5 minute increments. The longer the cycle, the more your garment will be dewrinkled. • 10 min: light and fast dewrinkling. • 20 min: optimal dewrinkling on most garments. • 30 minutes: for very difficult garments to dewrinkle. The use of the straightening clips is recommended for a better dewrinkling result, except for garments that are likely to deform easily (e.g. large knit jumpers, viscose, thin t-shirts, etc.).
Sanitize mode (2) • 20 min: fast purification. Reduces odours. • 40 min: deep purification. Effectively removes impregnated odours, bacteria and germs. The use of the straightening clips is not necessary in purification mode.
Gentle dry mode (3) Perfect for delicate garments that cannot be tumble dried. You can adjust the cycle time between 10 and 90 minutes. • 30 min: light textiles. • 45 min: cotton and thick textiles. • 60 min: several garments at the same time. The use of the straightening clips is not necessary in the drying mode.
Switch off the appliance and unplug it. Wait 1 hour for the appliance to cool down completely. Lift the shelf, remove the filter and remove any residue with a sponge. Clean the curtain with a damp cloth or a wrung-out sponge. Never use abrasive cleaning agents or products. Be careful not to scratch the infrared reception area and the transmitter on the remote control.
You have used descaling chemicals or additives in the water. Never add such products to the water tank. These contain organic waste or minerals that condense under the influence of heat and cause spitting, brown dripping or premature aging of your appliance.

After following the instructions in the user manual for starting the appliance, make sure that your electrical socket is working by plugging another appliance. If it still does not work, do not try to dismantle or repair the appliance yourself, instead, take it to an approved repair centre
The dewrinkling cabinet should be raised as high as possible until you hear the locking click, otherwise the masts will drop back down during use. Check that the small pins are sticking out at the back of the appliance.
The selected time and/or the amount of straightening clips is not suitable for the garment(s). Repeat a 30 minute wrinkle cycle. If necessary, button the garment completely and remember to put on the straightening clips (except for garments that can be easily deformed).
Check the batteries in your remote control (1.5V AAA batteries). If the batteries are working, please aim carefully the infrared zone at the bottom of the product.
If the curtain is not completely dry at the end of the programme, you can start a 10-minute drying programme, dry the curtain with a cloth or let the curtain dry naturally.
Straightening clips are not recommended for garments that are likely to deform easily (e.g. large knit jumpers, viscose, thin t-shirts, etc.). You can wash your garment again. In most cases, this is sufficient to restore its original shape. In the future, use the Care For You machine without the straightening clips on these garments.
This is normal. After a few minutes, the appliance will automatically switch off to reduce energy consumption. You can start your appliance again using the remote control.
The Care For You appliance should be placed at least 20 cm away from the walls. You can also install the device in a larger, better ventilated and tempered room. Make sure that the cabin is well closed (curtain clipped to the top of the Care For You).
