Before ironing, press the extra steam
button (8) a few times to activate it. Wait
for five seconds between each press. The
temperature selector should be set to
between and ‘MAX’. You can also
use this feature during dry ironing.
Vertical steam: The extra steam function
can also be used when the iron is in an
upright position.
• If the water in your area is too hard, we
recommend that you use one part
distilled water and one part tap water.
Do not use battery water or water
mixed with starch, perfume, fabric
softener, etc.
• Place the iron in an upright position,
open the water inlet cover, fill the tank
up to the ‘MAX’ mark and then close
the cover.
• Plug the appliance into the mains and
select the desired temperature in
accordance with the instructions given
on the label of the garment to be
ironed. If you have any doubts
regarding the composition of the fabric,
start at a low temperature and test on a
hidden area of the garment. Gradually
increase the temperature until the
creases disappear without harming the
fabric.
The following symbols appear on the
temperature selector:
MIN
Iron on
Synthetics, acrylics
Silk, rayon, wool
Cotton / linen

• When the pilot light (4) switches off,
this indicates that the base has reached
the selected temperature.

• Turn the temperature selector (3) to the
steam position, which is located
between and ‘MAX’. The closer
the selector is to the ‘MAX’ position, the
more steam will be expelled.
• Turn the steam control (7) to one of the
steam iron positions. Hold the iron in a
horizontal position and the steam
outlets will begin to expel steam. If no
steam is produced, lightly tap the iron
base against the ironing board. Setting
the iron in an upright position will
interrupt the steam expulsion.
Caution! Avoid contact with the steam
and do not direct it towards people.
Note: If you need to top up the tank while
ironing, always unplug the iron
beforehand.
