Ironable fabrics
Ironing
Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.
Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton,
polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.
Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic
fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and
polyolefins (e.g. polypropylene). Prints on garments are not ironable either.
1 Place the steam generator on a stable and even surface.
Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the
base on a stable ironing board.
2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/off
button to switch on the steam generator. Wait until the 'iron ready' light
lights up continuously. This takes approx. 2 minutes.
4 Remove the water supply hose from the water supply hose storage
compartment.
5 Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron
platform.
6 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing.
Warning: Never direct steam at people.
7 For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last
strokes without steam.
Note: When you use the appliance for the first time, it may take 30 seconds
for steam to come out of the appliance.
Note: The pump is activated each time you press the steam trigger. It
produces subtle rattling sound, which is normal. When there is no water in
the water tank, the pump sound is louder. Fill up the water tank with water
when the water level drops below the minimum level.
