RECOMMANDATIONS:
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 turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on
before beginning to iron again,
• 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 the hem).
Spray function
- Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button (F) to
dampen laundry to remove stubborn creases.
- Make sure that there is water in the tank before using this button.
For more steam
- Press the Shot of Steam button from time to time (G)
- Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.
Vertical steam ironing
- 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 the thermostat control to MAX (H).
- Press the Shot of Steam button ( ) repeatedly (I), moving the iron from
top to bottom (See illustration) (J), wait a couple of seconds between each
use of the button.
- Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate
fabrics.
