SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE Picture 2.3
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (9/Picture 1) according to the international symbol on the
garment label [Table1]. The plate temperature control light (8/Picture 1) 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 (8/Picture 1) comes on at
intervals, indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat
temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate
temperature control light comes on again.
SELECTING THE STEAM Picture 2.1
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3/Picture 1).
- Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending
on the quantity of steam required and the temperature selected.
Please note: 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 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 Steam shot and steam when ironing vertically. Pictures 2.4-2.5
Press the steam shot button (5/Picture 1) 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.
By pressing the steam shot button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung
garments, etc.).
Warning: the steam shot function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the
emission when the plate temperature control light (8/Picture 1) comes on, than start ironing
again only after the light has gone off.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section “steam ironing”, leaving the steam
selector (8/Picture 1) in the position ”no steam”.

(for a dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray).
Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using the
spray function , or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining,
spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.
