STEAM IRONING

2d. For STEAM ironing, turn the dial (S) and set the
iron temperature to its maximum travel on the
"COTTON-LINEN" steam position.
Most types of fabric, other than delicates can
be STEAM ironed at this temperature, please
consult the garment manufacturer's instruc-
tions on the label.
NB FABRIC INDICATIONS ON DIAL ARE
FOR DRY IRONING, NOT STEAM IRONING.
3d. Wait for a few minutes until the "Iron heating"
indicator light (V) goes out, to show that the so-
leplate of the iron has reached the required
temperature.
4d. Press the steam request button (R) to enable
the steam to come out. The steam flow will stop
when the button is released. After each filling,
when you first start to use the iron, a few drops
of water mixed with the steam may be emitted
(due to imperfect heat stabilisation). It is there-
fore advisable to direct the first jet of steam
onto a rag.

5d. The iron can also be used in a vertical position
e.g. for removing creases from curtain, clothing
etc.
6d. To obtain a continuous jet of steam move the
sliding button (U). The steam will continue to
come out even when the steam request button
(R) is released. To stop the steam flow move
the sliding button backwards (U).
NOTE: using the iron, it is advisable to adjust
the steam jet at medium output, or to do some
testing in order to find the position on (U) which
is most suitable to the fabric to be ironed.

DRY IRONING

7d. If you need to DRY iron (ONLY) (NOT steam
ironing), press the accessory on/off switch (C)
and adjust the temperature of the iron by turn-
ing dial (S) to the temperature required for the
fabric (as shown on the dial).
ATTENTION: when dry ironing, be careful not
to press the steam request button (R), as hot
water could come out of the iron onto your gar-
ment and board.
IMPORTANT
• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst con-
nected to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on sur-
faces that allow the steam to escape e.g. MESH
ironing boards.
• ATTENTION: if you iron sitting down, do not
place your legs under the ironing board, the
steam can cause burns.
TIPS FOR BETTER UNIT
PERFORMANCE
WARNINGS
• For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics
especially dralon, velvet and other pile surfaces,
consult the manufacturers instructions. Clean
only by using the hand gun at a safe distance to-
gether with a soft cloth and always do a test on a
non visible part of the item first or on a sample.
Allow the test area to dry completely before ob-
serving results and effects on surface or colour
before proceeding to clean further areas.
• For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors
etc.) take great care as a too long application of
the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the
shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned. We
therefore recommend you to apply the steam on
such surfaces only for brief periods or to clean
these surfaces using a cloth first held in the
steam.
