Ironing Instructions
s )T IS POSSIBLE THAT WATER DROPLETS ARE EMITTED TOGETHER

yet reached the right temperature or if condensed
moisture is trapped in the feed line.

the steam emission push button [18] intermittently
to dampen and then iron the fabric until it is dry.
By dampening the fabric, the fibres open up; subse-
quent ironing with a dry iron smoothes and fixes the
fabric.

the fibres of the fabric,

the fibres.

To increase the service life of your pressurized
steam ironing system you should always also use
distilled water.
When using distilled water it must be mixed with
tap water (ratio 1:1).
Do not add any descaling or chemical substances
or ironing water additives! This will damage the
steam station and the steam iron.
Hard water in particular will require the use of
distilled water.
Your competent water supply company will inform
you of the hardness of your water.
