(Fig. 7).

Ironing
1
Place the steam generator on a stable and even surface.
Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the base on a stable ironing board.
2
Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
3
Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/off button to switch on the steam
generator. Wait until the ‘iron ready’ light lights up continuously (Fig.
9). This takes approx. 2 minutes.
4
Remove the water supply hose from the water supply hose storage compartment.
5
Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron platform
(Fig. 10).
6
Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing (Fig. 11).
Warning: Never direct steam at people.
7
For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last strokes without steam.
Note: When you use the appliance for the first time, it may take 30 seconds for steam to come out of the
appliance.
Note: The pump is activated each time you press the steam trigger. It produces subtle rattling sound, which
is normal. When there is no water in the water tank, the pump sound is louder. Fill up the water tank with
water when the water level drops below the minimum level.
For more powerful steam, you can use the TURBO steam mode, which is safe on all ironable fabrics.
For fabrics such as cotton, jeans and linen, you are recommended to use the TURBO steam mode.
1
Press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds until the light turns white.
2
To deactivate the TURBO mode, press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds again until the light turns
blue.
Steam boost function
Use the steam boost function to remove stubborn creases.
1
Press the steam trigger twice quickly (Fig. 12).
Vertical ironing
Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles from a garment
while someone is wearing it (Fig.
13). Do not apply steam near your or someone else's hand.
You can use the steam iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from hanging fabrics.
1
Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch the garment lightly with the soleplate
and move the iron up and down (Fig.
14).
