Selecting the temperature.
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (11) according to the international symbol on the garment
label [Fig. 3]. The plate temperature control light (9) indicates that the iron is heating
up. Wait until the plate temperature control light goes off before ironing.
Warning:
during ironing, the plate temperature control light (9) comes on at intervals,
indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat tem-
perature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate tempera-
ture control light comes on again.
Selecting the steam.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).
- Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending on
the quantity of steam required and the temperature selected [Fig. 1].
Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You
can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving
the steam selector to "0". As indicated on the thermostat knob (11) and in the initial
table, you can only use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature
is too low, water may drip onto the plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically.
Press the shot-steam button (5) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can
penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few
seconds before pressing again [Fig. 4].
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section "steam ironing", leaving the
steam selector (3) on position "0".

not connected to the socket.
