Vertical steam function
(depending on model)
This is ideal for removing wrinkles in delicate garments, jackets, skirts,
curtains, etc.:
• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with
one hand.
• Set the temperature control dial to
MAX
(
fig.4
).
• Repeatedly press the
Burst of Steam
button
(
fig.8
) and
continuously move the iron over the fabric (
fig.10
).
• Hold the iron a few inches from the fabric to avoid burning delicate
fabrics.
Every fifth time you press the
button, return the iron to the
horizontal position.
The steam is very hot.
When using the ve rtical steam
function, always iron with the
garment on a hanger, never
while wearing it.

• Adjust the temperature (see table below) by turning the temperature
control dial to the temperature select position (
fig. 4
).
• When the iron is plugged in, the temperature control light will remain
“on” until the temperature is reached (
fig.5 & 6
). Once the
temperature is reached, it will go “off”.
• Adjust the amount of continuous steam output by moving the steam
control lever (
fig.7
). See below table for recommended steam output
levels.
Adjusting the temperature and the steam
- It is normal for the
temperature indicator light to
turn on and off during ironing.
- In order to avoid water leaking
from the soleplate onto your
garment:
•
Set the steam lever to
when ironing silk or synthetic
fabrics and set it to
for
wool.
•
Should you need to turn
down the temperature, wait
until the temperature light
comes back on before
beginning to iron again.
- When ironing fabrics with
mixed fabrics, set the iron
temperature for the most
delicate fabric.
- For delicate fabrics, we
recommend testing the fabric
first on an inconspicious place
for example, inside the hem.
- If you want to iron without
steam, set the steam control
lever to
.
• Your iron heats up quickly, therefore, begin ironing with fabrics that are
ironed at lower temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a
higher temperature.
