IRONING WITH THE STEAM (B)
Plug the iron into the mains supply and select a suitable temperature.
The pilot lamp (9) will stay lit while the iron is heating up and go out
as soon as it has reached the selected temperature.
As soon as the iron is hot turn the steam regulator (5) to “ ” position,
you can always regulate the amount of the steam by turning the
steam selector between “ ” and “ ”
When ironing with steam, make sure that the temperature control is
always between the •• and Max settings.
When using the steam iron for the first time, try it away from the
clothes just in case there is any dirt in the steam chamber.
When you have finished ironing, set the steam regulator (5) to the “ ”
position and empty the tank.
IRONING WITHOUT STEAM (C)
Set the steam regulator (5) to the “ ” position and slid the temperature
control to the desired position. The Spray and Super steam functions
may be used if required.
SPRAY (D)
You can get an additional burst of spray, whether ironing dry or with
steam, in the following way:
Press the spray button (6). Do not use the spray for ironing silk as
this may leave water marks.
IRONING WITH SUPERSTEAM (E)
Just as with the Spray function you can also get an additional burst of
steam when ironing with or without steam by doing the following:
Set the temperature regulator (8) between the •• and Max settings
and wait until the iron reaches temperature.
Raise the iron slightly up off the material and press the super steam
button (7) down firmly.
Pause for at least 5 seconds between each jet of steam.
CREASE REMOVAL IN VERTICAL (F)
Set the temperature regulator (8) between the •• and Max settings
and wait until the iron reaches temperature.
Hang the garment on a hanger and place the iron some 10-20 cm
away. Never iron a garment if somebody is wearing it at the time.
Press the super steam button (7) pausing at least 5 seconds between
each press.
SELF-CLEANING (G)
CAUTION! Do this operation over a sink. To keep steam production
constant occasional cleaning is recommended as limescale can build
up inside the steam ducts and steam chamber.
To do this fill the water tank (2), setting the temperature regulator (8)
to the “Max” position.
Plug the appliance in and when the lamp (9) goes out press the “calc
Function” button (10) down.
Keep the button held down until water stops coming out through the
steam holes.
EMPTYING OUT THE WATER TANK (H)
Take the plug out of the mains socket, open the cover on the filling
inlet and empty out the tank by holding the iron pointed-end down
and shaking it gently.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE (I)
Avoid scratching the iron; do not pass it over hard surfaces. Traces of
starch or sprays can be removed from the base by using damp cotton
wool or a non abrasive cleaning product.
Do not put chemicals or detergents into the water tank.
The outside surfaces can be cleaned down with a damp cloth, without
ever having to use abrasive agents or solvents.
STORAGE (J)
The iron can be stored away with the cable coiled up in the rear
area. It is advisable to store the iron in the upright position with the
water tank empty, the steam regulator setting to “ ” position and
temperature regulator turned to the “Min” position.
