Use
Steam ironing
• Place the iron's temperature control dial according to the type of fabric to be
ironed (see table below).
• 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.
• 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.
• 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" light starts flashing, it means that you have 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 “OK” 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.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up
pad.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
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.
