Super-pressing
To obtain an extra burst of steam, press the Super
Pressing control button repeatedly.
Allow a pause before using it again.
Note : The Super Pressing control button can only be
used effectively if you have already been steam ironing
(so that the circuit is filled with water).
Vertical de-creasing
1. Turn the thermostat control to the MAX position (•••).
2. Hang the garment from a hanger and stretch the
fabric slightly with one hand.
As the steam produced is very hot, never iron
or steam-iron a garment while it is being worn
but always hang the garment on a hanger.
3. With the iron held vertically and tilted slightly forwards,
press intermittently on the steam control button while
moving it from top to bottom.
To obtain an extra burst of steam, press the Super
Pressing control button from time to time
For fabrics other than linen, cotton or wool, keep
the iron at a distance of a few centimetres in order
to avoid burning the fabric
Caring for your steam system
Before cleaning the appliance, make sure that it is
unplugged and the soleplate has cooled.
Do not use any cleaning or descaling agents.
- The soleplate : to clean the soleplate, use a damp
cloth. If you use starch, spray it onto the side
opposite to the one you are ironing and clean the
soleplate more frequently.
Warning :
• do not use any household products to clean
the soleplate,
• never put the iron under the tap.
- The base : from time to time, clean the plastic parts of
the appliance with a slightly damp, soft cloth. There is
no need to empty the water tank every time you have
finished ironing.
Warning :
• Never put the case of your steam system
under a running tap.
Storing your steam system
1. Unplug the system.
2. Place the iron on the iron rest.
3. Allow the iron (and the iron rest) to cool for
30 minutes.
You can now put your steam system away.
