OPERATION
Steam ironing
Steam ironing works by generating a cushion of steam under the
iron. Most garments are suitable for steam ironing though some
exceptions are pure wool, velvet and corduroy garments.
Check that the iron is disconnected from mains power.
•
Turn the steam control to the ‘0’ (steam off) position.
•
Open the water filler cap.
•
Position the iron so that the filler inlet is vertical and fill with
•
fresh, clean water from the filler cup (supplied) to the Max
level mark on the iron. Never overfill the iron.
Never use any perfumes or additives as these may damage the
iron.
Close the water filler cap.
•
Turn the Temperature control to the temperature you want.
•
Stand the iron upright on the ironing board rest and connect
•
the power cord to a mains power outlet.
The temperature light will come on and the iron will heat up.
When the iron reaches working temperature, the temperature
light will switch off. The iron is now ready to use.
The steam control will regulate the flow of steam when you are
ironing.
Set the steam control to the level you want (mid-way is a
•
good starting point).
You can now begin to iron your clothes.
•
Steam will be generated when the iron is in the horizontal ironing
position and will cut off when you stand the iron vertically. You
can also shut off steam by turning the steam control to the
‘0’
position.
You can regulate the flow of steam during ironing with the
•
steam control.
Everyone has their own techniques for ironing, but as a general
rule, iron the larger areas first and work out into the corners of
garments. Keep the iron moving at all times - the heat from a
stationary iron will damage clothing.
Re-filling the tank
If you use all the water in the tank and want to continue ironing.
Turn the steam control to the ‘0’ (steam off) position.
•
Disconnect the iron from mains power.
•
Fill the iron as previously described.
•
Dry ironing
To dry iron garments, follow the steps for steam ironing, but
•
without filling the water tank.
