6- VERTICAL STEAM IRONING

ENG

1.Set the iron temperature control slide to the MAX position.

2.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 garment on a coat hanger.

3.Holding the iron in a vertical position,tilted slightly forwards,press repeatedly on the steam control button (on the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom (8).

Recommendations : for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.

7- FILLING THE BOILER WHILE IN USE (when the boiler is empty)

VERY IMPORTANT :

Before opening your boiler, ensure that there is no more steam left inside by pressing the steam control button located on the handle of the iron and keep it pressed down until there is no more steam (9).

Never unscrew the boiler cap while the iron is producing steam.

1.Press the on/off switch and disconnect the generator from the mains.

2.Slowly unscrew the boiler cap.

3.Using a water jug,fill with maximum one 1/2 litre of water.

4.Fill the boiler,taking care that the water does not spill over. If this occurs,remove the excess water.

Replace the boiler cap,screwing on tightly,reconnect your generator to the mains,and switch it on.

5.Wait until the boiler heats up (about 4 minutes).

The generator and the iron are ready to use when both the iron’s thermostat light and the steam indicator go out.

8- MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR

•Before cleaning, ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest have cooled down.

•Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the base unit.

•Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.

•Do not place the iron on a metal rest as this could damage it.

Place it on the iron-rest on the base unit :it has non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures.

The iron soleplate:

Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp,non-metallic washing up pad.

The base-unit :

Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.

9. RINSING OUT THE BOILER

Be careful :

•To extend the life of your boiler and to avoid the building up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out the boiler after every 10 uses. If your water is hard, increase the frequency.

•In particular, do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.

1.Check that the generator is cold and unplugged for more than 1 hour.

2.With a jug,fill the boiler 3/4 full with tap water.

3.Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely over your sink (10)..

To obtain the best results, we advise you to repeat this operation.

One of the standout features across these models is their powerful steam output. With a high-pressure steam boost, users can easily tackle stubborn wrinkles in a variety of fabrics.

This soleplate is not only durable but also scratch-resistant, ensuring it maintains high performance over time. The non-stick surface allows for easy cleaning and can glide effortlessly over all types of fabric.

Another great feature is the integrated descaling system. This system significantly reduces limescale build-up, extending the life of the steam generator and ensuring optimal performance. Some models even offer a removable water tank that allows for easy refills while ironing.
