Ironing
Warning:Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.
- Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton,
polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.

fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and
polyolefins (e.g. polypropylene). Prints on garments are not ironable

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 supply hose from the hose storage compartment.
