To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam control button several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to be ejected from the steam circuit.

Iron temperature setting:
-Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those which need higher temperatures (••• or Max).
-For mixed fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
-Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button – fig.10 to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.
Steam output setting:
-Thick fabric: increase the steam setting.
-At a low temperature : set the steam output control dial to the low position.
Dry ironing:
-Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
Vertical steam ironing
•Set the iron temperature control slide and the steam output control dial (located on the control panel) to the MAX position.
•Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.
•Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom – fig.9.
Refilling the water tank
•When the red “tank empty” indicator light turns on, there is no more steam – fig.11. The water tank is empty.
1.Close the protection cover until you hear a “click”. fig.2.
2.Remove the water tank by pulling on the handle (at the front of the generator) and fill it, taking care not to exceed the maximum level.
3.Slide the tank back into its housing until its clicks into place.
4.Press the “restart” button on the control panel – fig.12. to continue ironing. When the green light stops flashing, the steam is ready.
5.Open the protection cover – fig.3.
TURBO Function (according to model)
•Press the Turbo control 2 or 3 times when you need extra steam:
-for ironing thicker fabrics,
-for getting rid of creases,
-for powerful vertical steaming.
Use the Turbo function with care as its exceptional steam power can cause burns.
