SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE
Set the temperature control dial according
to the type of fabric you are ironing.
Check the fabric's label for appropriate
setting.
To avoid an automatic switch off while the iron is heating up, always
keep the iron on its heel. Start at low temperature

and graduate to
high temperature

. For delicate fabrics we recommend carrying
out a test on an unobstrusive part of the garment (inner seam). Steam
can only be produced when the thermostat is in the red cotton/linen
zone.
SETTING VARIABLE STEAM CONTROL
Set the variable steam control to required steam volume. Steam can
only be produced when the thermostat is aligned to
● ● ●
or max.
(red zone). Allow iron to heat up (light goes out) before activating the
variable steam control.
Iron ready for steam ironing
Steam is produced as soon as the iron is
held horizontally.
Steam off
Steam generation can be interrupted by
standing the iron on its heel or sliding the
variable steam control fully to the left.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM (depending on model)
In order to produce steam, all irons require a high temperature.
If the soleplate is not hot enough some of the water will not turn to
steam and can spit or leak from the soleplate. The new anti-drip
system automatically reduces the volume of steam when ironing at
low temperatures to prevent dripping.
