Steam ironing
The smart features of the iron prevent you from creating steam in temperature settings
below ●●. This is to ensure that delicate fabrics are protected from ironing with steam.
It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should
be used when ironing.
Warning: When ironing delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.
Steam should never be used.

i
with water.

When the temperature indicator light turns solid your steam generator is ready to
use.
5. With the soleplate in contact with the garment, press the steam trigger

for a
couple of seconds. It is not necessary to hold the trigger down continuously as
steam will still be emitted from the soleplate for a short time after the trigger has
been released. If more steam is required, press the steam trigger again.
6. To operate the steam boost function, double-click the steam trigger quickly. The
iron will generate a highly concentrated steam boost for a short period of time.
Always release the steam trigger and allow any residual steam to be released before
replacing the iron on its stand.
