using your iron
Ironing without steam
If you intend to dry-iron fabrics there is no need to fill the water tank. However, if water is
already in the water tank, you do not need to empty it.
1. Set the steam control to the no steam ( ) position.
2. The temperature indicator symbol (
) will flash as your iron heats up.
3.
When temperature indicator symbol stops flashing your iron is at the correct
temperature.
Steam ironing
During steam ironing, if you do not allow your iron to reach the selected
temperature water may drip from the soleplate.
It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should
be used when ironing.
When ironing cotton and linen, always select the highest temperature. Steam should
never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.
1.
Make sure your iron as at least a quarter of a tank full of water—see
filling
on page 7.
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Your iron will only produce steam when the temperature is set to either WOOL,
COTTON, DENIM or LINEN.
4. The temperature indicator symbol (
) will flash as your iron heats up. When it stops
flashing your iron is at the correct temperature. The steam icon (
) will appear when
your iron is capable of producing steam.
5. Set the desired amount of steam by sliding the steam control anywhere between the
no steam position ( ) and the maximum steam position ( ).
6. The steam can be shut off at any time by setting the steam control to the no steam
( ) position.
7. To save energy, your iron will only produce steam when you are holding the handle
and the Eco switch is therefore activated.
Burst of steam
Your iron will only produce steam when the temperature is set to either WOOL, COTTON,
DENIM or LINEN. Wait several seconds between each press of the steam button.
Press the shot of steam button whenever you have a stubborn crease that needs extra
steam. Steam will burst from the holes in the soleplate of your iron into the fabric.
