using your steam generator
Ironing without steam
If you intend to dry-iron fabrics there is no need to fill the water tank. However, if water is
already in the water tank, you do not need to empty it.
1. Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer to the desired heat setting.
2. Turn the steam control fully anticlockwise to OFF.
3. When the temperature indicator light goes out your steam generator is ready to use.
The light will continue to turn on and off during ironing as your steam generator
maintains the soleplate temperature.
4. Iron your laundry without pressing the steam trigger or using the steam lock button.
Vertical steam ironing
Vertical steam ironing is especially useful for ironing items such as curtains while they are
hanging, or jackets, suits and coats.
Hold the iron in a vertical position and press the steam trigger as required.
Steam lock
To prevent fatigue, your steam generator can be set to produce steam without having to
constantly hold the steam trigger in the on position.
1. Slide the steam lock button forwards and steam will be continuously emitted from the
soleplate.
2. To stop, slide the steam lock button backwards. Always release the steam lock button
when you put the iron back onto the iron rest.
