How To Use Shot Of Steam
The shot of steam provides an extra burst
of steam which is ideal for the removal
of stubborn creases and wrinkles during
STEAM or DRY ironing.
Turn the Temperature Control to the
hottest setting. Ensure the Steam Control
corresponds to the setting on the
Temperature Control.
Lift the iron slightly above the surface of
the fabric, press the Shot of Steam button
down firmly and release it during ironing.
An intense burst of steam penetrates
deep into the fabric.
NOTE:
For optimal steam quality,
wait an interval of at least 4
seconds between presses of the
Shot of Steam button.
Vertical Steam Shot
The Vertical Steam Shot allows you to
use the iron for vertical applications. This
is especially useful for getting wrinkles
out of hanging garments, curtains, wall
hangings etc.
Hold the iron vertically, in front, a slight
distance from the item to be steamed
and press the Shot of Steam button.
CAuTION:
Never use
the vertical steam shot
while clothes are on the
body or direct the steam
towards people.
Dry Ironing
Turn the steam selector to the MIN position.
This minimises the steam flow should there
be any water in the tank.
Select the required setting on the
Temperature Control for the fabric
being ironed.
For best results, let the iron sit in an
upright position for a couple of minutes
in order for the iron to reach the desired
temperature.
Using the Fine Mist Spray
The Fine Mist Spray can be used to
dampen difficult fabrics, dry areas,
woollen items and accidental creases.
Firmly press the spray button (located on
the handle of the iron) to produce a fine
spray of water ahead of the iron.
The spray can also be used with delicate
fabrics (synthetic) which are ironed at
low temperatures and therefore cannot
be steam ironed.
NOTE:
If the spray function is
operated during dry ironing,
ensure that there is sufficient
water in the water tank. If dry
ironing for more than 20 minutes,
the water tank should be
emptied to prevent over heating
any water present.
