BEFORE USE
˾ Please read all of the instructions for use and the Important
Safeguards carefully.
˾ Remove all packaging from the generator.
˾ The first time the steam generator is used, it is normal for a
small amount of smoke and a slight odor to be produced.
It will quickly disappear.
˾ When starting, and while it is being used, the electric pump
injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is
normal. If you are pressing on the steam control button at
this time, you may lose a little steam for a few seconds.
HELPFUL HINTS
˾ Before using the generator for the first time or if you have
not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the
steam button several times in a row while holding the iron
away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to
be removed from the steam connection cord.
˾ When ironing start with fabrics that require a low
temperature setting (
● ) and finish with those which need
the highest temperature ( ● ● ● ).
˾ Mixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the temperature
for the most delicate fabric. For example a shirt that is 60%
cotton and 40% polyester should be ironed at the (
● )
setting for synthetics.
˾ If spray starch is used, spray it onto the reverse side of the
garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing.
˾ For best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow
excess steam to escape.
˾ For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on
an unobtrusive area of the garment such as an inner seam.
