Setting the temperature
• Iron temperature setting:
- Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those which need
higher temperatures (••• or Max).
- Mixed fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
- Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button
- fig.8 to obtain short bursts
of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.
• Steam output setting:
- Thick fabric: increase the steam setting.
- At a low temperature : set the steam output control dial to the low position.
Dry ironing
• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE AND STEAM OUTPUT ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
To prime the steam circuit,
either before using the iron for
the first time, or if you have not
used the steam function for a
few minutes, press the steam
control button several times in a
row, holding the iron away from
your clothes
- fig.8 . This will
enable any cold water to be
ejected from the steam circuit.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your steam generator
• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Empty and rinse the removable water tank.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth. Tip: for easy, non-aggressive
cleaning of the sole plate of your
iron, use a damp sponge to clean
the sole plate while it is still warm.
Vertical steam ironing
• Set the iron temperature control slide and the steam output control dial (located on the control
panel) to the MAX position.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being
worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.
• Holding the iron in a vertical position - fig.8 , tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the
steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom - fig.9 .
Refilling the water tank
• When the red “tank empty” indicator light turns on, there is no more steam - fig.10 . The water tank is empty.
• Unplug the steam generator. Open the tank filler flap - fig.4 .
Fill the water tank up without exceeding the MAX level - fig.5 .
• Close the water tank filler cover.
• Plug in the steam generator. Press the “Restart” button
- fig.11 , on the control panel to continue
ironing. When the green indicator remains lit, the steam is ready.
TURBO Function (according to model)
• Press the Turbo control 2 or 3 times when you need extra steam:
- for ironing thicker fabrics,
- for getting rid of creases,
- for powerful vertical steaming.
Use the Turbo function with care as its exceptional steam power can cause burns.
Recommendations : for
fabrics other than linen or
cotton, hold the iron a few
centimetres from the
garment to avoid burning
the fabric.
