ECO FUNCTION
The appliance is equipped with new technology that optimises steam production, thereby reducing
energy consumption.
To activate the ECO function, move the steam selector (10) to the ECO steam position.
IRONING WITHOUT STEAM (DRY)
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in the section "steam ironing", leaving the steam selector
(10) in the steam closed position.
IRONING WITH STEAM
Move the steam selector (10) to a position between the closed steam position and the maximum steam
position based on the amount of steam desired.
Continuous steam will only be dispensed when the iron is in a horizontal position.
The continuous steam can be stopped by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the steam
selector (10) to the steam closed position.
NOTE: Steam can only be used at the highest temperatures, between the position with
the 3 dots and the maximum temperature position, as indicated by the symbol on the
temperature adjustment knob (3).
If the selected temperature is too low, water droplets may drip from the plate.
The soleplate temperature LED flashes intermittently while ironing, thereby indicating that the
selected temperature is maintained.
SUPER-STEAM AND STEAM IN A VERTICAL POSITION
Press the super-steam button (12) to generate a strong shot of steam.
Wait a few seconds between each pressing action of the iron [Fig. E].
Press the super-steam button (12) intermittently to iron vertically (drapes, hanging garments, etc.).
NOTE: The super-steam function can only be used at high temperatures, between the
position with the 3 dots and the maximum temperature position.
If the selected temperature is too low, water droplets may drip from the plate. Stop using
the button when the plate temperature LED (1) lights up and start ironing again only when
this goes off.
SPRAY FUNCTION
Verify that there is water in the reservoir (6).
Press the spray button (11) slowly (for a dense spray ) or quickly (for a mist) [Fig. F].
Dampen delicate fabric using the spray function before ironing or alternatively lay a damp cloth
between the fabric and the iron. Do not use the spray function on silk or synthetics.
EXCLUSIVE PATENTED WAVE PLATE
The exclusive wave plate patented by Imetec has a special hard anodised coating that gives the plate
surface a satinised appearance. This coating material makes it highly resistant to scratches, and the
wave effect allows it to slide quickly over the fabrics whilst holding in the steam, stretching out the fibres
straight away and making it quick and easy to iron the fabric.
