Set the temperature and steam control
Check the garment label if you are not sure what type of fabric it is made of.
• Iron temperature setting:
- Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with
those which need higher temperatures (••• or Max).
- For 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.10
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.
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, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on
the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to
bottom –
fig.10.
Refilling the water tank
When the red “tank empty” indicator light turns on, there is no more steam – fig.9.
• Remove the water tank and pull horizontally. Fill it up without exceeding the MAX
level –
fig.5.
• Replace it fully into its housing until there is a click –
fig.6.
•
Press the “Restart” button
- fig.19
, on the control panel to continue ironing. When the
green indicator remains lit, the steam is ready.
To prime the steam
circuit, either before
using the iron for the
first time, or if you have
not used the steam func-
tion 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 ejected from
the steam circuit.
