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.
• When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's
electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite
normal. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening.
Again this is normal.
• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
T
YPE OF FABRICS
Linen, cotton
Wool, viscose
Synthetics, silk
(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide)
To prime the steam circuit, either be-
fore 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.
Dry ironing
• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
Recommendations : for fa-
brics other than linen or
cotton, hold the iron a few
centimetres from the gar-
ment to avoid burning the
fabric.
Refilling the water tank
• When the red "water tank empty" indicator light turns on, there is no more steam -
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 -
• Replug the generator. Press the "restart" button on the control panel -
ironing. When the green light stops flashing, the steam is ready.
• 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 -
placing the iron on the garment itself.
• 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 -
