• The steam will stop when you release the button.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
YPET OF FABRICS | SETTING TEMPERATURE CONTROL |
Synthetics, silk | • |
(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide) | |
Wool, viscose | •• |
|
|
Linen, cotton | ••• |
•Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature and finish with those which need higher temperatures (••• or Max).
•To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam control button - fig.2. several times in a row, hol- ding the iron away from your clothes.This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam circuit.
•For delicate fabrics, press the steam control button (on the handle of the iron) intermittently to avoid possible water droplets appearing with the steam.
•If you are using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of
the fabric to be ironed.
If you put your thermostat in the “min” position, the iron does not become hot.
Mixed fibre fabrics : set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
Woollen garments : press repeatedly on the steam control button - fig.2 to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself. This will avoid making the fabric shiny.
• Do not press on the steam control button - fig.2.
•Set the iron temperature control dial to the MAX position.
•Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang gar- ments on a coat hanger.
•Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press re- peatedly on the steam control button - fig.2 (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom - fig.3.
Recommendations : for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.
Never unscrew the boiler cap while it’s still stea- ming.
•VERY IMPORTANT : Before opening your boiler, ensure that there is no more steam left inside by pressing the steam control button lo- cated on the handle of the iron and keep it pressed down until there is no more steam- fig.2.
•Stop the generator by pressing the on/off switch and unplug from the mains.
•Slowly unscrew the boiler cap.
•Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of water untreated tap.
•Fill the boiler - fig.1, taking care that the water does not spill over. If this occurs, remove the excess water.
•Replace the boiler cap, screwing on tightly, plug your generator back into the mains, and switch it on.
