To avoid automatic switch off while the iron is heating up, always keep the iron on its heel. Start at low temperature and graduate to high temperature. For delicate fabrics we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam).

SETTING VARIABLE STEAM CONTROL

Set the variable steam control to required steam volume. Steam can only be produced when the thermostat is in the red cotton/linen zone. Allow iron to heat up (light goes out) before activating the variable steam control. Reduce or set variable steam to min when ironing at low temperatures to avoid water leakage or spitting.

Iron ready for steam ironing:

Steam is produced as soon as the iron is held horizontally.

Steam off:

Steam generation can be interrupted by standing the iron on its heel or sliding the variable steam control fully to the left.

SPRAY SETTING

jEnsure there is water in the tank.

j Moistening the fabric with the spray will make wrinkle removal easier.

j Press the spray button down slowly for a jet or quickly and strongly for a mist.

j Do not spray silk, etc.

BURST OF STEAM

jTo remove stubborn wrinkles or press in

a sharp crease, use the burst of steam button.

j Press the button firmly, a strong burst of steam penetrates deep into the fabric.

j Leave an interval of at least four seconds between pressing the burst of steam button.

jWith water in the tank, the burst of steam

button can be used as soon as the steam ironing temperature has been reached (● ● ●)
