BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Check if the voltage rating on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage.
• Remove any sticker or protective cover from the soleplate before using the appliance.
• Before the first use of the steam generator, use a damp cloth to remove any potential residuals
from the soleplate as there may be debris from the steam vents. Use the steam generator for the
first time on an old piece of fabric to ensure that the soleplate and the water tank are completely
clean. During the first time use the steam generator on a piece of a damp cloth to remove any
residue on the soleplate.
Note : To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not
used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam control button several times in a row,
holding the iron away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to be removed from the
steam circuit.
• When the steam generator is used for the first time, some vapor may be emitted. However after a
short while this will cease to exist.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
• Before ironing make sure that the garment to be ironed is suitable for steam ironing.
• First sort items to be ironed, according to the International Textile Care Labeling Code. Iron
fabrics requiring the coolest temperatures first. Work gradually to the higher temperatures. Both
the temperature dial and most items of laundry have markings corresponding with this code.
• Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature.
• If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) an article is made of, determine the right ironing
temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article. Silk,
woollen and synthetic material: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.
• If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you know the kind of fabric in question,
please consult the following table.
