Suction/Blowing function and warming-up of the ironing board
Suction Function
The suction absorbs the exceeding steam, no more necessary after ironing. The suction ena-
bles to hold the garment firm on the ironing board and to eliminate the moisture. The garments
are clean and dry, ready to be put away.
The heating of the ironing surface prevent the board and consequently the garments from get-
ting wet. This also prevents condensate from forming on the ironing board.
Recommendation:
- With the suction function, light fabrics (silk, etc.) can be "fixed" on the ironing board, prevent-
ing them from slipping away
- The extraction function cools the fabric and "fixes" the ironing, guaranteeing, for example,
perfect creases.
Blowing function
The blowing function creates a cushion of air to make it easier to iron delicate garments or
difficult points (trouser creases, pockets, seams, inaccessible areas), avoiding the formation of
false creases, flat seams or shine.
After steam-ironing
- Turn off the appliance (on/off switch)
- Pull the plug out of the mains socket
- Let the appliance completely cool down
- Remove the iron cord support
Important: Store the appliance only when it has completely cooled down
7. Dry ironing
It is recommended to start ironing the articles that require the lowest temperature.
Getting the appliance ready:
- Put the iron on the iron-rest mat (2)
- set the steam control to the required position, for instance:
• = synthetic fibres (minimum temperature) without steam
•• = silk/wool (medium temperature) without steam
••• = cotton/linen (maximum temperature) steam minum cotton position
- Plug the power cord into the mains socket.
- Turn the appliance on using the ON/OFF button (the orange light (10) on the boiler comes
on and stays on). Simultaneously, the orange warming-up indicator light on the iron lights up
(11). The latter comes off as soon as the soleplate reaches the required temperature. The
iron reaches the required temperature after 3-5 minutes.
- To dry iron DO NOT press the steam button (4).
After dry ironing
- Turn the appliance off using the ON/OFF switch (the warming-up light on the iron goes off)
- Pull the plug out of the mains socket. Let the appliance cool down completely.
