5.  The pilot light will go off when the required temperature is reached. During ironing, 

the pilot light on the iron automatically switches on/off as the thermostat maintains 

the set temperature (you may continue ironing during this process). 

6.  The iron is ready for use. 

7.  Set the steam knob correctly.  Increase steam output by pushing the steam knob to 

the right and decrease steam output by pushing the steam knob to the left.   

Caution:  Synthetic fabric, Nylon, Synthetic Silk and Silk cannot be steam ironed as 

it will damage the finish of the fabric. 

8.  After use, turn the temperature dial to the 

MIN

 position - the iron will now be 

switched off. 

9.  Disconnect the iron from mains power supply outlet.  

10. Follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions. 

 

 

BURST OF STEAM 

 

This function works well for tough wrinkles and heavy fabrics.  By pressing the steam 

button, an intense burst of steam is emitted from the soleplate.  This can be very useful 

when removing stubborn creases.  This function can be used once the iron has reached 

maximum temperature.  For optimal results, there should be a five (5) second interval 

between presses of the steam button.  To prevent leaking water from the soleplate, do not 

press the steam button continuously for more than three (3) seconds.  Allow at least a one 

(1) minute interval before pressing the steam button again.   

 

 

BURST OF STEAM IN VERTICAL POSITION 

 

Burst  of  steam  can  also  be  applied  when  holding  the  iron  in  a 

vertical  position.    This  function  is  useful  for  removing  wrinkles 

on  garments  in  hanging  position,  hanging  curtains,  or  other 

hanging fabrics. 

 

Note:

 It may be necessary to press the burst of steam button few times to start this 

function. 

During the use of ‘Burst of Steam’, stop ironing when the pilot light turns on, let it 

cycle a few times and then start ironing again only after the pilot light has turned off.
