IRONING WITH STEAM

STEAM VOLUME CONTROL

Check that the item you want to iron is suitable for steam ironing.

Unscrew the water reservior cap (15) and fill with filtered water. Use the supplied funnel(10). The water reservoir may be topped up at anytime.

Screw on the water reservoir cap (15) and plug in to the mains (14).

Turn on the pressure unit (16) and the iron (9).

Adjust the thermostat switch (5) to the required temperature. The steam range is marked in blue on the thermostat dial.

STEAM - JETS OR CONTINUOUS

The pressure steam unit reaches ironing pressure in 3 minutes.

The "steam ready" light (8) lights up

when the unit is ready to start ironing. It is perfectly normal for the lamp to switch off again.

The "steam ready" light switches off and on while you are ironing without affecting the ironing in anyway.

The pressure steam unit will emit a humming sound from time to time while you are ironing. This indicates that water is being pumped from the water reservoir into the pressure steam unit. This sound is normal and does not mean that something wrong.

Press the steam pulse button (1) for steam pressure. Press and hold this button for continuous and steady flow of steam.

Press the steam pulse button (1) repeatedly, at short intervals, to let the steam out of the boiler resevoir.

The desired steam volume can be set with the steam volume gauge (7).

Turning clockwise increases the steam volume, turning anticlockwise reduces the steam.

If the "tank empty" neon (17) lights up, the water reservoir is empty and must be topped up. This is possible without any interruption. Continuing to iron, without topping up with water, can damage the steam system.

VERTICAL STEAMING

Suits, jackets and curtains can be ironed or freshened up on the hanger using the vertical steaming function.

Set the thermostat dial on the iron

(5) to maximum temperature.

Hang the garment on a clothes hanger and hold it lightly with one hand.
