• When starting, 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. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening.

Again this is normal.

• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:

YPE OF FABRICS

Linen, cotton

Silk, Wool

Synthetics

(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide)

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" indicator light turns on, there is no more steam

fig.5.

The water tank is empty.

• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark -

• Replug the generator. Press the "restart" button on the control panel -

to continue ironing. When the green light stops flashing, the steam is ready.

• Iron temperature setting:

- Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those

which need higher temperatures (••• or Max).

- Mixed fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most

delicate fabric.

- Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button -

obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.

• Set the iron temperature control dial to the MAX position.

• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one

hand.

As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment

while it is being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.

• Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on

the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top
