and when the green “steam ready” light stays on.
• While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn
on and off, as the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.
•
To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle
and keep it pressed -
fig.5. The steam will stop when you release the button.
• When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's
electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite
normal. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve
opening. Again this is normal.
• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
Setting the temperature
• Iron temperature setting:
- Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•)
and finish with those which need higher temperatures (•••
or Max).
- 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.5 to obtain short bursts of steam, without
placing the iron on the garment itself.
Dry ironing
• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
Vertical steam ironing
• Set the iron temperature control dial 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 -
fig.5 (underneath
the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom -
fig.6.
Refilling the water tank
• When the red “water tank empty” indicator light turns on, there is no more steam - fig.16. The
water tank is empty.
• Unplug the steam generator and open the flap on the tank.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark -
fig.4.
• Replug the generator. Press the “restart” button on the control panel - fig.17. to continue
ironing. When the green light stops flashing, the steam is ready.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your generator
• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the
soleplate base-unit.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
TYPE OF FABRICS SETTING TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Linen, cotton
•••
Wool, viscose
••
Synthetics, silk
(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide)
•
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
ejected from the steam circuit.
Recommendations : for
fabrics other than linen or
cotton, hold the iron a few
centimetres from the
garment to avoid burning
the fabric.
Do not place the iron on a
metal support.When taking a
break from ironing, always
place the iron on the iron rest
plate of the unit. It is
equipped with non-slip pads
and has been designed to
withstand high temperatures.
