• To obtain steam, press on the steam

control button beneath the iron handle

and keep it pressed -

fig. 11. The steam

will stop when you release the button.

• Always spray starch on the reverse side

of the fabric to be ironed.

7 • Vertical steam ironing

• Set the temperature of the iron to the

max position.

• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and

hold the fabric slightly taut with one

hand.

• Press repeatedly on the steam -

fig.11

control button (beneath the iron handle)

moving the iron from top to bottom -

fig.

Examples of how to use the vertical

steaming function:

• Removing creases directly on hangers

from delicate fabrics that you do not

want to bring into contact with the hot

iron.

• Refreshing a shirt or a suit just before

putting it on.

8 • Dry ironing

• Do not press the steam control button.

9 • Fill the water tank again

• When there is no more steam and the

“Water tank empty” light flashes -

fig. 13:

the water tank is empty.

• Remove the water tank using the handle

(on the front of the steam generator) -

fig.

and fill it - fig. 5 do not fill above the

Max. level.

• Push the water tank into position until it

“clicks” into place. Press the Restart

button located on the control panel. The

red light turns off.

• The steam generator and the iron are

ready for use when the steam indicator

light is on and the iron temperature

control light goes out.

10 • Storing the steam

generator

• Turn off the appliance and unplug it.

Place the iron on the iron rest on the

steam generator. Lock the iron onto the

base unit by pressing it until you hear an

audible “click”, so your iron is secure

(according to model) – fig 1. Fold the

steam cord in two and place it in its

housing. Wind up the power cord and

attach it with the velcro.

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 – fig.11, holding the iron away

from your clothes. This will enable any

cold water to be removed from the

steam circuit.

Iron temperature control setting: Your

iron is quick to heat up so start with

fabrics to be ironed at a low

temperature and finish with those

which need higher temperatures.

Mixed fibre fabrics: set the ironing

temperature to the setting for the

most delicate fabric. For delicate

fabrics (•), press the steam control

button (under the handle of the iron)

intermittently to avoid any water

droplets appearing with the steam.

If you set your thermostat to “min”,

the iron will not become hot.

When taking a break from ironing,

never place the iron on a metal rest

plate, which could damage the iron

rest plate of the unit. It is equipped

with non-slip pads and has been

designed to withstand high

temperatures.

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. For

fabrics other than linen or cotton,

hold the iron a few centimetres from

the garment to avoid burning the

fabric.

If this occurs, remove the excess

water.
