For delicate fabrics (●), press the steam control button (on the handle of the iron) intermittently to avoid possible water droplets appearing with the steam.

Recommendations :

•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 several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes.This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam circuit.

-Mixed fibre fabrics : set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.

-Woollen garments : press repeatedly on the steam control button to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself. This will avoid making the fabric shiny.

•TO IRON WITHOUT USING STEAM :

-Do not press on the steam control button on the iron handle.

•IRONING BOARD :

-For best results, a mesh type ironing board should be used to allow any excess steam to escape.

• If you are using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

The non-stick surface allows for easy cleaning and can glide effortlessly over all types of fabric.
