using your steam generator
Ironing without steam
If you intend to dry-iron fabrics there is no need to fill the water tank. However, if water is
already in the water tank, you do not need to empty it.
1. Rotate the temperature control ring to set the desired temperature. The lights in the
temperature display will show the selected temperature. The temperature indicator
light will light flash as your steam generator heats up.
2. When the temperature indicator light stays on your steam generator is ready to use.
The temperature indicator light will alternate between flashing and on during ironing
as your steam generator maintains the correct temperature and you can continue
ironing as normal when this happens.
3. Iron your laundry without pressing the steam trigger or using the steam lock button.
Vertical steam ironing
Vertical steam ironing is especially useful for ironing items such as curtains while they are
hanging, or jackets, suits and coats.
Hold the iron in a vertical position and press the steam trigger as required.
Steam lock
To prevent fatigue, your steam generator can be set to produce steam without having to
constantly hold the steam trigger in the on position.
1. Slide the steam lock button forwards and steam will be continuously emitted from the
soleplate.
2. To stop, slide the steam lock button backwards. Always release the steam lock button
when you put the iron back onto the iron rest.
