4- USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR

1. Push the retaining clip forward to release the iron(6).
2. Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed socket (7).
3. Press on the on / off switch (located on the side of the base unit) (a): the green light (located on the control panel) flashes
and the boiler heats up (b).It will take around 2 minutes for steam to be produced which is indicated when the green "steam
ready" light stops flashing (8).
• The first time the appliance is used, there may be some fumes and smell but this is not
harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.

5- OPERATING THE CONTROL PANEL

• Flashing green light : the water is heating up in the boiler.
• Continuous green light :
steam is ready for use.
• Continuous red light :
the water tank is empty.
• Orange "boiler rinse" light flashes :
your boiler needs rinsing.
Note: the appliance must be cold (see section 11).
6- USING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
• Place the iron's temperature control slide according to the type of fabric to
be ironed (see table + 9).
• 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.
• Adjust the steam output control dial (located on the control panel - 10).
• While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on
and off, according to
the heating needs without any disturbing the use.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button on top of the iron handle and keep it
pressed (11). 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.
Do not place the iron on a metal support.When taking a break from ironing, always place the iron
on the iron rest plate of the unit. It is equipped with non-slip pads and has been designed to
withstand high temperatures.
