Using your iron
1.Insert the plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet and turn the power on.
2.Select the power button to turn the unit on. The Power On icon illuminates WHITE as shown in Fig 1, and the unit beeps once. The boiler and soleplate will begin heating and the Steam Ready light illuminates RED.
Figure 1
3.Turn the temperature dial on the iron to the desired setting (set the temperature to Silk or above when using steam). The thermostat light (as shown in Fig 2) will illuminate AMBER to indicate that the iron is heating. It will go out once the iron has reached the selected temperature.
Figure 2
NOTE: When changing the temperature dial from a higher setting to a lower setting, ensure the iron temperature is
stable at the new setting by allowing the thermostat to cycle once (the thermostat light will turn on / off once).
4.Select the desired steam level by turning the Steam Rate Dial to the desired setting (as shown in
Fig 3).
NOTE: To prevent water dripping from the soleplate, only use the steam function when the temperature of the soleplate is set to Silk or above.
Figure 3
5.When the steam selection illuminates GREEN, the unit is ready to use.
NOTE: The Steam Ready light will illuminate GREEN when the steam can be activated, usually after 2 1/2 minutes. However, it may take a bit longer for the steam to be at maximum power depending on the volume of water in the boiler and the tank and the ambient temperature of the water. Before using the steam generator on
a garment, direct a shot of steam into the air to release any remaining condensation.
