Using the shot of steam
The shot of steam can be used when dry
or steam ironing, when the temperature is
set above the two dot (••) setting.
1. Ensure the tank is at least 1/4 full of
water.
2. Select the desired temperature and wait
until the temperature alert light
illuminates green.
3. Squeeze the shot of steam trigger several
times with the iron on the soleplate to
prime the pump.
Note:
If the tank has run dry, it may be
necessary to re-prime the pump after filling
the iron with water.
Using the spray mist
The spray mist can be used whether dry or
steam ironing to pre-dampen hard to iron
fabrics.
1. Ensure the tank is at least 1/4 full of
water.
2. Press the spray button during ironing to
release a fine mist from the spray nozzle.
The safety auto-off mechanism automatically
turns the iron off if you forget.
The iron will automatically shut off if left
on the heel rest (vertical) for 15 minutes
without being moved, or in the ironing
position (horizontal) for 30 seconds, or if it
is knocked onto its side
(See figure 2).
Should you leave the iron unattended, the
LCD screen and the red temperature alert
light will flash, and a warning beep will
sound to let you know that the auto-off
function has been activated.
Power to the iron's heating element will be
cut and the iron will start to cool. After 30
seconds the frequency of the beep alarm will
decrease.
Once the iron is moved the power will
reconnect. Allow the iron to heat until the
temperature alert light illuminates green,
and continue ironing as normal.
