NOTE: If the instructions on the fabric label differ from this guide, follow the instructions on
the label.
• If the soleplate is at a lower temperature that the one you’ve set, the thermostat light on top of
the iron will glow, to let you know that the soleplate is heating up.
• When the soleplate reaches operating temperature, the thermostat light will go out, then
cycle on and off as the thermostat works to maintain the temperature.
• If you want to use steam set the temperature to or higher, or you may get water.
STEaM IRONING
• Set the temperature control to or higher – otherwise the steam might condense on the
soleplate, giving you water, instead of steam.
When you first want steam, you must prime the pump (See "PRIMING").
• Press the steam button on top of the iron to produce steam, release it to stop the steam.
• Don’t let the reservoir empty in use, or you’ll have to prime it again when you refill it.
Steam may still escape from the iron after you release the steam button. This is normal, don’t
worry about it.
cONSTaNT STEaM
• For a constant stream of steam, press the steam button, then slide the latch (on the rear of
the button) back, towards the rear of the iron, to lock the button down.
• Slide the latch forward, to unlock it, and revert to normal use.
DRy IRONING
• You can dry iron by just not pressing the steam button, but if you want to make sure you don’t
press it accidentally, then you should iron with an empty reservoir.
• Do your dry ironing first, then switch off, fill the reservoir, and do your steam ironing.
VERTIcaL STEaMING
• Remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains, and furnishing fabrics.
• Check that there’s adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may build up,
causing mildew.
• Check that there’s nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam.
• Check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuffs are empty.
• Check that there’s water in the reservoir.
• Check that the temperature control is at
or higher.
• Wait till the thermostat light goes out, then start steaming.
• Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric.
Hold it well away for delicate fabrics.
• Press the steam button to produce steam, release it to stop the steam.
