To prime the steam circuit,
either before 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.
Vertical steam ironing
• Set the iron temperature control slide and the steam output control dial (located
on the control panel) 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 (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top
to bottom – fig.9.
NOTE : continuous use of the
turbo steam function will
begin to cool the iron and
may cause water to drip from
the iron. If this occcurs, stop
using the turbo steam func-
tion and allow the iron ther-
mostat to reach temperature
again (thermostat light will
come on and go off)
before using this function
again.
