• To select the appropriate ironing programme, activate the thermostat
located under the handle - fig. 5 .
- Rotation left : selects the programs requiring low temperature and
steam levels.
- Rotation right : selects the programs requiring high temperature and
steam levels.
- The program selected appears automatically on the indicator panel at
the front of the iron - fig. 6 .

indicator goes out - fig. 7 . You can start ironing.
3. Spray Function
- While ironing, press a few times in succession on the Spray button to
dampen the fabric - fig. 8 and iron out awkward creases.
4. For more steam (shot of steam button)
- Press the Shot of Steam button from time to time
- fig. 9 .
- Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.
5. Vertical steam ironing
- Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc
- Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one
hand. The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the
garment on a hanger – never while someone is wearing it.
- Set your thermostat to MAX - fig. 10.
- Press the Shot of Steam button ( ) repeatedly - fig. 9 moving the iron
from top to bottom - fig. 11 .
- Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate
fabrics.
6. Anti-Calc Plus System
- You iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system
- fig. 12 .
- This system will help to provide :
• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,
• a longer life for your iron.
7. Anti-drip function
- Autosteam Control, i.e. the automatic selection of the ironing
programme depending on the fabrics elected, makes it possible to
reduce steam flow at low temperatures and prevents your iron from
dripping water onto your linen.
Recommendations:
Fabrics and ironing
temperatures:
• Your iron heats
up quickly: so
begin by ironing
fabrics that are
ironed at low
temperatures
first, then go on
to those
requiring a
higher
temperature,
• if you change to
a program
requiring lower
temperatures,
wait for the
thermostat light
to come on
again before
continuing to
iron.
• when ironing
fabrics with
mixed fibres, set
the ironing
temperature for
the most
delicate fibre.
For delicate
fabrics we
recommend
testing the
fabric first on an
inconspicious
place eg (inside
them).
• For best results
we recommend
you use a vented
ironing board to
allow the
powerful steam
to penetrate
through the
fabric more
efficiently.
• Ensure that the
fabric you are
ironing is flat to
avoid steam
venting
sideways whilst
ironing.
