Location
Locate the steam generator horizontally
on the iron rest plate of your ironing board (if
large enough) or on a heat resistant stand at
the same height of your ironing board or
below it.
Always ensure the generator is on a firm
surface when ironing.
Before use
Remove any protective sticker from the
soleplate and the cabinet, if any.
Textiles and clothes are supposed to carry
ironing instructions. If they don’t you should
follow the fabric guide on page 3, but be sure
to test the temperature by ironing the hem of
the garment or similar area first.
If you turn the control dial down from a
hot setting to a cooler setting, wait until the
iron temperature has stabilised before you
continue ironing.
