Recommendations:
• 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.
This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam circuit
Iron temperature control slide setting:
• Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (
●) and finish with those which need higher temperatures
(
●●● or Max).
- Mixed fibre fabrics: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
- Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron
on the garment itself.This will avoid making the fabric shiny.
Steam output control dial setting:
- Thick fabric : increase the steam setting.
- At a low temperature : set the steam output control dial to the low position.
To iron without using steam:
• Do not press on the steam control button under the iron handle.
Ironing Board:
For best results, a mesh type ironing board should be used to allow any excess steam to escape.
• If you are using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
1. Place the iron's temperature control slide according to the type of
fabric to be ironed (9).
2. The thermostat light comes on.
Be careful ! The steam generator is ready when the thermostat
light goes out and when the green “steam ready” light stays on.
Note: it is normal for the steam cord to become warm during use.
3. Adjust the steam output control dial located on the control panel (10).
