Thermostat regulation
Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching-
the fabric.
STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
• Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
• Move the steam selector (3) to
“0” [Fig. 1]
.
• Open the cover of hole for fi lling of tank with water (11).
• Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overfl owing.
• Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (15) and taking care not to go over the maximum level
(about 300ml) indicated by
“MAX”
on the reservoir
[Fig. 2b]
.
• Close the cover of hole for fi lling of tank with water (11)
[Fig. 2a]
.
Selecting the temperature
• Put the iron in a vertical position.
• Put the plug in the socket.
• Adjust the thermostat knob (13) according to the international symbol on the garment label
[Fig. 3]
. The plate temperature
control light (12) indicates that the iron is heating up. Wait until the plate temperature control light goes off before ironing.
Warning:
During ironing, the plate temperature control light (12) comes on at intervals, indicating that the selected tem-
perature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing
until the plate temperature control light comes on again.
Selecting the steam
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).
• Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending on the quantity of steam required
and the temperature selected
[Fig. 1]
.
Warning:
The iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam
by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the steam selector to “0”. As indicated on the thermostat knob (13)
and in the initial table, you can only use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water
may drip onto the plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically.
• Press the shot-steam button (4 ) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the
most diffi
cult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again
[Fig. 4]
.
• By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung garments, etc.)
[Fig. 5]
.
Warning:
The shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emission when the plate temperature
control light (12) comes on, than start ironing again only after the light has gone off .
