Operating the Steam Control
Refer to the Variable Steam Control
column of the International Textile Care
Labelling Code (Table A.) for the level of
steam advised for various fabric types. As
indicated, steam ironing is only possible
at higher temperature settings.
Adjust the amount of steam required
using the steam control switch. To
operate the variable steam control,
ensure there is sufficient water in the
water tank and the tank is properly
attached to the iron body. Plug the
power plug into a 230V or 240V power
outlet and switch the power on. With
the iron positioned on its heel, select the
desired temperature setting within the
steam range and allow the iron to heat
for two to five minutes.
Once heated, select the desired steam
level. When positioned to the left, the
steam control is set to the no steam/
dry ironing option. When positioned in
the centre of the switch, the iron is set
to maximum steam output (See Fig 5).
Set the steam control switch to the
required setting. The iron is now ready to
commence ironing.
Fig. 5
If more water is required while ironing,
simply detach the water tank and stand
the iron on its heel. Fill up the water tank
as per the instructions under ‘Filling the
Water Tank’ and reattach the water tank
to the iron body.
Once the water tank has been removed,
do not leave the iron face down on any
fabric or on the ironing board, always rest
the iron on its heel.
Operating the Shot of Steam
The shot of steam function provides an
extra burst of steam when ironing heavier
fabrics and removing stubborn creases.
The shot of steam function can be used
at all steam levels as long as the iron has
reached the selected temperature for
steaming.
Hold the iron horizontally and slightly
above the fabric surface, firmly press and
release the shot of steam button. The
steam will penetrate the fabric and assist
in the removal of wrinkles.
Alternatively, hold the iron vertically and
slightly away from the hanging fabric,
firmly press and release the shot of steam
button. Vertically steaming is useful for
getting wrinkles out of hanging garments
or curtains when the fabric is not
supposed to come into direct contact
with the iron soleplate.
CAUTION: Never use the
vertical shot of steam
while clothes are on the
body or direct the steam
towards people.
