Choose your ironing programme

Your iron has 8 ironing programmes:

•For each program corresponding to a type of textile to be ironed, your iron automatically and precisely determines the most suitable temperature and steam flow to guarantee best results.

• To select the appropriate ironing program, use the program selector beneath the grip (E).

-Pressing on the left side : selects the programs requiring low temperature and steam levels. Beyond program 1, pressing the program selector has no effect.

-Pressing on the right side : selects the programs requiring high temperature and steam levels. Beyond program 8, pressing the program selector has no effect.

-The program selected appears automatically on the indicator panel at the front of the iron (F).

-Set the steam control to steam ( )

-When your iron reaches the required temperature, the thermostat indicator goes out (G). You can start ironing.

Recommendations:

Fabrics and ironing temperatures:

•Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,

•if you change to a program requiring lower temperatures, wait for the thermostat light to come on again before continuing to iron (for models fitted with the “Thermo-Alert”, refer to the section “Thermo-Alert function”).

•when ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre.

For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside them).

•For best results we recommend you use a vented ironing board to allow the powerful steam to penetrate through the fabric more efficiently.

•Ensure that the fabric you are ironing is flat to avoid steam venting sideways whilst ironing.
