Turn the temperature dial (3) to suit the garment (see Temperature guide on page 4). The temperature indicator light (5) illuminates until the temperature is reached. Begin ironing when the temperature indicator light (5) goes out. If you turn the temperature dial (3) down, wait until the temperature indicator light (5) illuminates and then goes off again.
Press the relevant steam button (20/21/22) to select desired steam level. The steam button will stop flashing and illuminate constantly when the steam level is reached.
For a strong, continuous flow of steam during ironing, press and hold the steam trigger (2) to deliver steam through the soleplate.
WARNING: The steam supply cord (23) will get hot during use.
Steam boost button (certain models only)
| The steam boost function is ideal for relaxing the |
1 | fibres of tougher fabrics (like jeans and linen) and |
| getting rid of those stubborn, hard to reach creases. |
To produce a quick, powerful shot of steam during ironing, simply press and release the steam boost button (1).
NOTE: After using the steam boost function, your steam generator iron will require up to 5 seconds to reheat before it can produce a second boost of steam. If you require a high level of constant steam, choose the appropriate steam level and use the steam trigger (2) as instructed above.
Do not combine the two steam functions. Using the two buttons together will interrupt the flow of steam and may result in the constant steam cutting out completely. For optimum steam output, use each steam function separately and as detailed above.
