Adjusting the temperature and the steam

•Adjust the temperature (see table below) by turning the temperature control dial to the temperature select position (fig. 4).

•When the iron is plugged in, the temperature control light will remain “on” until the temperature is reached (fig.5 & 6). Once the temperature is reached, it will go “off”.

•Adjust the amount of continuous steam output by moving the steam control lever (fig.7). See below table for recommended steam output levels.

= STEAM ZONE

•Your iron heats up quickly, therefore, begin ironing with fabrics that are ironed at lower temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature.

-It is normal for the temperature indicator light to turn on and off during ironing.

-In order to avoid water leaking from the soleplate onto your garment:

•Set the steam lever to when ironing silk or synthetic

fabrics and set it to for wool.

•Should you need to turn down the temperature, wait until the temperature light comes back on before beginning to iron again.

-When ironing fabrics with mixed fabrics, set the iron temperature for the most delicate fabric.

-For delicate fabrics, we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place for example, inside the hem.

-If you want to iron without

steam, set the steam control lever to .

In order to achieve the maximum amount of steam, it is recommended that you wait a few seconds after you push the burst of steam button again.

Obtaining more steam

•Press the Burst of Steam button periodically to remove stubborn wrinkles (fig.8).

Spray Function

•The Spray button (fig.9) will release a mist of water onto your fabrics. Use this to remove stubborn wrinkles.

Every fifth time you press the button, return the iron to the horizontal position.

The steam is very hot.

When using the vertical steam function, always iron with the garment on a hanger, never while wearing it.

Vertical steam function (depending on model)

This is ideal for removing wrinkles in delicate garments, jackets, skirts, curtains, etc.:

•Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.

•Set the temperature control dial to MAX (fig.4).

•Repeatedly press the Burst of Steam button (fig.8) and continuously move the iron over the fabric (fig.10).

•Hold the iron a few inches from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics.
