2. Programme selection

Your steam station has a programme
selector (9) for choosing the different ironing
programs.
Each programme automatically sets an
appropriate combination of temperature and
steam which is suitable for the kind of
garment selected.
By turning the programme selector you can
choose the kind of garment and fabric to be
ironed. The corresponding indicator light (7)
will flash until the temperature and steam
level suitable for the programme selected
are reached.
From this moment on, the indicator light will
remain lit continuously and two beeps will
be heard indicating that the appliance is
ready to use.
If the garment to be ironed does not
correspond to any of the programs supplied,
check the temperature instructions shown
on the care label of the garment.
