4 - VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
Recommendations:
• To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not used the steam function for a
few minutes, press the steam control button several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes.
This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam circuit
Iron temperature control slide setting:
• Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (
●
) and finish with those which need higher temperatures (
●●●
or Max).
- Mixed fibre fabrics: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fibre.
- Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron
on the garment itself.
Steam output control dial setting:
(depending on the model)
- Thick fabric: increase the steam setting.
- At a low temperature: set the steam output control dial on the base to the low position.
To iron without using steam:
Do not press on the steam control button under the iron handle.
Ironing Board:
For best results, a vented ironing board should be used to allow any excess steam to escape, and therefore avoid clothes
becoming damp.
If you are using starch, it should be sprayed on to the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
1. Set the iron’s temperature control slide to the maximum position.
If necessary, set the steam output control dial on the base to the maximum position
(depending on
the model).
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.
2. Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
3. Holding the iron in a vertical position, press repeatedly on the steam control button (under the iron
handle) moving the iron from top to bottom 6 .
Recommendations: For fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres
from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.
