Melissa 16390054 Instruction Manual page 34

• If there are no ironing instructions
on the garment, but you know what
fabric it is made of, the table can be
used. The table only applies to the
relevant material and is for guidance
only.
• Garments with printed and sewn-
on features are best ironed on
the reverse of the material at low
temperature.
• For fabrics made of several different
materials, you should always adjust
the temperature to suit the material
that can tolerate the least heat. If, for
instance, a product consists of 60%
polyester and 40% cotton, adjust
the temperature of the appliance for
ironing polyester.
• Sort the items to be ironed according
to the temperature at which they are
to be ironed.
• The appliance will get hot quicker
than it cools down. Therefore always
start with garments to be ironed at the
lowest temperature.
USE
Insert the plug (6) into an electrical socket
and place the appliance upright on its
base (7) on the ironing board.
Dry ironing
• The appliance can be used for dry
ironing, even if there is water in the
water reservoir.
• Turn the steam adjustment button (3)
to position 0.
• Turn the thermostat button (9) to the
required setting. The indicator light (8)
will come on.
UK
• Once the indicator light goes out,
the required temperature has been
reached and you can start to dry iron.
The indicator light will go on and off
during use, which merely indicates
that it is maintaining the selected
temperature.
• Do not fill the appliance with water
if it is to be used as a dry iron for a
prolonged period.
Steam ironing
• Fill with water.
• Turn the thermostat dial (9) to position
•• or •••. The indicator light (8) will
come on.
• Once the indicator light goes out,
the required temperature has been
reached and you can start to steam
iron. The indicator light will go on and
off during use, which merely indicates
that it is maintaining the selected
temperature.
• Turn the steam quantity button (3)
to the required setting. Constant
steam will be emitted from the holes
in the soleplate (11) when you hold
the appliance horizontal. Place the
appliance on its base (7) or turn the
steam quantity button to position 0 to
stop the steam.
Steam shot
• The steam shot function for
smoothing out stubborn creases can
only be used when the thermostat dial
is turned to the maximum setting and
the indicator light is not on.
• Press the steam shot button (5)
to spray steam onto the garment
through the holes in the soleplate.
Wait a few seconds before the next
steam shot.
