Use
Steam ironing
• To obtain steam, press the steam control button under the iron handle
- fig.13.
The
steam will stop when you release the button.
• After approximately one minute, regularly while it is being used, your steam
generator’s electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is
quite normal.
• If you are using starch, always spray it onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
Smart Technology Auto Control
Your steam generator is itted with SMART TECHNOLOGY AUTO CONTROL electronic regulation which gives you a
choice of three optimum temperature and steam combinations.
Do not place the iron on a
metal support.When taking
a break from ironing, always
place the iron on the iron rest
plate of the unit. It is equipped
with non-slip pads and has been
designed to withstand high
temperatures.
During first use or if
you have not used the
steam function for a few
minutes, press the steam
control button several
times in a row - fig.13
holding the iron away
from your laundry.
This will remove the cold
water from the steam
circuit.
Recommendations: for
fabrics other than linen
or cotton, hold the iron a
few centimetres from the
garment to avoid burning
the fabric.
Warning, fabrics with the symbol are not suitable for ironing.
Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature and inish with those that need higher
temperature.
When you select a higher temperature, you can continue to iron provided that you are not
ironing a more delicate fabric that requires a lower temperature.
If you select a button to reduce the temperature you should wait until the blue iron light has
stopped lashing before continuing to iron.
If you are in doubt about the type of fabric an item of clothing is made from, check the label.
* If you are ironing woollen garments, press repeatedly on the steam shot button
- fig.13
without placing the iron on the garment. This will avoid it becoming shiny.
The «ECO» function allows you to reduce energy consumption for the selected mode. To change to «ECO»
mode, select

(JEANS) mode and then press the «ECO» button. To exit
«ECO» mode, press the «ECO» button again.
Vertical steam ironing
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
• As steam is very hot: never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is
being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.
• Holding the iron in a vertical position
- fig.13
tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly
on the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top
to bottom
- fig.14.
