SETTING THE TEMPERATURE AND STEAM OUTPUT ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
Using your steam generator
• Press the protection cover unlocking button until you hear a “click” and fold it back
on to the generator base unit to release the iron –
fig.3.
• Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its storage space–
fig.23.
• Plug in your steam generator to an earthed socket.
• Press on the on / off switch. The green light (located on the control panel) flashes
and the boiler heats up –
fig.14.
When the green “steam ready” light stops flashing (after 2 minutes approxima-
tely), the appliance is ready.
Use
Steam ironing
• Place the iron's temperature control slide according to the type of fabric to be
ironed (see table below).
• The thermostat light comes on. Be careful ! The steam generator is ready when
the thermostat light goes out and when the green “steam ready” light stays on.
• Adjust the steam output control dial (located on the control panel).
• While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on and
off, as the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and
keep it pressed –
fig.10
. The steam will stop when you release the button.
• When starting, and 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. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening.
Again this is normal.
• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
The first time the
appliance is used, there
may be some fumes and
smell but this is
not harmful. They will not
affect use and will
disappear rapidly.
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.
Always use a vented/mesh
ironing board and be
careful of hot steam when
ironing close to the edges
of the board.
Set the temperature and steam control
Check the garment label if you are not sure what type of fabric it is made of.
