DRY IRONING
If you're going to be dry ironing for 20 minutes or more, empty the reservoir first, to avoid spontaneous
bursts of steam.
1. Set the steam control to S.
2. Wait till the light goes off, then start ironing.
VERTICAL STEAMING
Remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains, and furnishing fabrics.
• Check that there's adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may build up, causing
mildew.
• Check that there's nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam.
• Check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuffs are empty.
• Check that there's water in the reservoir.
Set the temperature control to max. Set the steam control to S.
1.
2. Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric.
3. Press the ~ button (you're using the "shot of steam" function vertically).
4. Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.
AFTER USE
1. Set the temperature control to •. Set the steam control to S.
2. Unplug the iron.
3. Open the cover.
4. Hold it over a sink, turn it upside down, and drain the water from the reservoir, via the water inlet.
5. Close the cover.
6. Sit the iron on its heel.
7. Leave it to cool down completely.
8. When it's cold, wipe off any moisture, and wind the cable round the heel.
9. Store the iron on its heel, to avoid corrosion and damage to the soleplate.
SELF CLEAN
To avoid scale build up, use the self clean function at least monthly in normal water areas, more often in
hard water areas.
Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.
You'll need a basin or a large bowl to catch the water coming out of the soleplate.
Fill the reservoir to the max mark.
1.
Set the temperature control to max. Set the steam control to S.
2.
3. Sit the iron on its heel.
4. Put the plug into the power socket and wait till the light goes out.
5. Hold the iron over the basin or bowl with the soleplate down.
6. Press the C, and hold it down.
7. Gently move the iron to and fro, over the basin or bowl.
8. Water and steam will wash scale and dust through the soleplate, and into the sink.
9. When the reservoir is empty, release the C button.
ANTI-SCALE
The anti-scale agent incorporated in the iron helps prevent the build-up of scale.
Don't use a descaling solution, or you'll destroy the anti-scale.
