RECOMMENDATIONS :

Fabrics and ironing temperatures :

•Your iron heats up quickly : so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,

•if you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on before beginning to iron again,

• when ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre.

For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).

When setting the thermostat control on this position (G) steam flow is concentrated at the tip of the soleplate (H) for a better penetration of the steam within the thickest fabrics, like Jeans (Denim).

Spray Function

Laundry can be dampened using the spray, providing there is water in the tank.

- Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button (I) to dampen laundry to remove stubborn creases. - Make sure that there is water in the tank before using this button.

For more steam (shot of steam)

-Press the Shot of Steam button from time to time (J)

-Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.

Vertical steam ironing

-Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc

-Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never while someone is wearing it.

-Set the thermostat control to MAX (K).

-Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics.

-Press the Shot of Steam button () repeatedly (L), moving the iron from top to bottom. (See illustration) (M) wait a couple of seconds between each use of the button.

Integral anti-scale system

-Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system (N).

-This system will help to provide:

•a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,

•lasting performance from your appliance.

Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)

-The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning light flashes if the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal position for more than 30 seconds (O).

-To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.

Note : when the Auto-Stop warning light is on, it is normal for the thermostat light to remain off.

Anti-drip function

If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam because of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water leaking from the soleplate.

When using the iron for the first time, allow 2 minutes for steam to be produced.

2- DRY IRONING

-Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.

-Set the steam control to DRY (see diagram A).

-You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.
