Steam ironing
• Place the iron's temperature control dial according to the type of fabric to be
ironed (see table below).
• 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.
• While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on and
off, as the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and keep
it pressed - fig.5. The steam will stop when you release the button.
• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE AND STEAM OUTPUT ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
Synthetics
(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide)
Wool, Viskoz
Linen, cotton
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.
Dry ironing
• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
Recommendations : for fabrics
other than linen or cotton,
hold the iron a few
centimetres from the garment
to avoid burning the fabric.
Refilling the water tank
• When the red "water tank empty" light starts flashing, it means that you have no more steam -
tank is empty.
• Unplug the steam generator and open the flap on the tank.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark -
• Replug the generator. Press the "OK" button on the control panel -
light stops flashing, the steam is ready.
