•The thermostat light comes on. Important:whenever you startusing youriron and wheneveryou reduce the temperature during use, the iron is fully ready for use when its thermostat light goes out and when the green lightlocated on the control panel stopsflashing and remainson.

During use, when you increase the temperature ofthe iron, you can start ironing immediately.

•While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on and off, as the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.

•To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and keep it pressed - fig.5. The steam will stop when you release the button.

•Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

Do not place the iron on a metal support.When taking a break from ironing, always place the iron on the iron rest plate of the unit. It is equipped with non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures.

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).

-Mixed fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.

ECO MODE: Your steam generator iron has an ECO mode function which uses less power whilst still guaranteeing a sufficient steam flow for you to iron your garments properly. In order to use this function, once the thermostat of your iron has been correctly set (see table above), press on the ECO mode button located on the control panel. The ECO mode can be used on all types of fabrics, nevertheless for very thick or very creased fabrics, we recommend that you use the normal steam flow for best results.
