How To Use Shot Of Steam
The shot of steam provides an extra burst of steam which is ideal for the removal of stubborn creases and wrinkles during STEAM or DRY ironing.
Turn the Temperature Control to the hottest setting and wait until the heating indicator light goes out. Ensure the Steam Control corresponds to the setting on the Temperature Control.
Lift the iron slightly above the surface of the fabric, press the Shot of Steam button down firmly and release it during ironing. An intense burst of steam penetrates deep into the fabric.
NOTE: For optimal steam quality, wait an interval of at least 4 seconds between presses of the Shot of Steam button.
Vertical Steam Shot
The Vertical Steam Shot allows you to use the iron for vertical applications. This is especially useful for getting wrinkles out of hanging garments, curtains, wall hangings etc.
Hold the iron vertically, in front, a slight distance from the item to be steamed and press the Shot of Steam button.
Caution: Never use the vertical steam shot while clothes are on the body or direct the steam towards people.
Dry Ironing
Turn the steam selector to the MIN position.
This shuts off the steam flow should there be any water in the tank.
Select the required setting on the Temperature Control for the fabric being ironed.
Once the temperature has been reached, the Heat Indicator Light will turn off and the iron is ready for use.
Using the Fine Mist Spray
The Fine Mist Spray can be used to dampen difficult fabrics, dry areas, woollen items and accidental creases. Firmly press the spray button (located on the handle of the iron) to produce a fine spray of water ahead of the iron.
The spray can also be used with delicate fabrics (synthetic) which are ironed at low temperatures and therefore cannot be steam ironed.
NOTE: If the spray function is operated during dry ironing, ensure that there is sufficient water in the water tank. If dry ironing for more than 20 minutes, the water tank should be emptied to prevent over heating any water present.
