STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
- Make sure that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
- Move the steam selector (C) to “0” [Fig. 1].
- Open the lid (B).
- Hold the iron upright. Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without over-
fl owing.
- Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (N) and taking care not to go
over the maximum level (about 300ml) indicated by “MAX” on the reservoir [Fig. 2].
- Close the lid (B).
Selecting the temperature
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (K) according to the international symbol on the garment label [Fig.
3]. The plate temperature control light (F) 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 (F) comes on at intervals, indicating
that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat temperature after iron-
ing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate temperature control light comes on
again.
Selecting the steam
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (C).
- Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending on the quan-
tity of steam required and the temperature selected [Fig. 1].
Warning: 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 (K) 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 Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically
Press the shot-steam button (E) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the
fabrics and smooth the most dif
fi cult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing
again [Fig. 4].
By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung gar-
ments, etc.) [Fig. 5].
Warning: the shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emission
when the plate temperature control light (F) comes on and start ironing again only after the light
has gone off.
