Use

Steam ironing

• We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing board to allow steam to pass through
the garments for better ironing results and also to prevent steam venting sideways.
• To obtain steam, press the steam control button under the iron handle. The steam
will stop when you release the button.
• After approximately one minute, 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.
• If you are using starch, always spray it onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
Smart Technology Auto control
Your steam generator is fitted with SMART TECHNOLOGY AUTO CONTROL electronic regulation which gives you a
choice of three optimum temperature and steam combinations.

• Start w ith the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature and finish with those that need higher temperature.
• If you are in doubt about the type of fabric an item of clothing is made from, check the label.
• When you select a higher temperature, you can continue to iron provided that you are not ironing a more delicate
fabric that requires a lower temperature. If you select a button to reduce the temperature you should wait until the
blue iron light has stopped flashing before continuing to iron.
*If you are ironing woollen garments, press repeatedly on the steam shot button without placing the iron on the
garment. This will avoid it becoming shiny.
