NOTE: Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature. This reduces the waiting
times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk
of scorching the fabric.
Steam ironing
Filling the reservoir
EN
1. Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
2. Move the steam knob (4) to "min" [Fig. 1].
3. Open the lid (3).
4. Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing.
5. Slowly pour the water into the reservoir with using the special measure and taking care not to
go over the maximum level indicated by "MAX" on the reservoir [Fig. 2].
6. Close the lid (3).
Selecting the temperature.
1. Put the iron in a vertical position.
2. Put the plug in the socket.
3. Adjust the Temp-knob (13) according to the international symbol on the garment label [Fig.
3]. The plate temperature control light indicates that the iron is heating up. Wait until the
plate temperature control light goes off before ironing.
Warning:
During ironing, the plate temperature control light comes on at intervals, indicating that the se-
lected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat temperature after ironing at a high
temperature, do not start ironing until the plate temperature control light comes on again.
Selecting the steam
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (4).
1. Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending on the qu-
antity of steam required and the temperature selected [Fig. 1].
Warning:
The iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the conti-
nuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the steam selector to "min". As
indicated on the thermostat knob (13) and in the initial table, you can only use steam at the highest
temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip onto the plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically
1. Press the shot-steam button (5) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the
fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pres-
sing again [Fig. 4].
2. By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung gar-
ments, etc.) [Fig. 5].
Warning:
The shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emission when the plate
temperature control light comes on, then start ironing again only after the light has gone off.
