Use
• Unplug your iron before filling it and set the steam control lever to
(
fig.1
).
• Open the water tank filling inlet lid (
fig.2
), place the iron in a horizontal
position and fill it with water (
fig.3
).
• Close the water tank filling inlet lid.
Filling the water tank
Do not exceed the “MAX” fill
level as indicated on the water
tank of the iron.
• 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. Once the temperature is reached,
it will go “off” (
fig.5
).
• Adjust the amount of continuous steam output by moving the steam
control lever (
fig.6
). 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.
