Use

Steam ironing

•We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing board to allow steam to pass through the garments for better ironing results and also to prevent steam venting sideways

•To obtain steam, press the steam control button under the iron handle. The steam will stop when you release the button.

•After approximately one minute, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator’s electric pump in- jects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal.

•If you are using starch, always spray it onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

Do not iron over zips, studs or other hard or sharp objects which may damage the soleplate. 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.

EFFECTIS EASY

•Your steam generator is fitted with SMArT TECHNOLOgY EASY electronic regulation which offers you the opti- mum temperature and steam combination allowing you to iron all your ironable fabrics without risk and wi- thout having to sort them.
