•When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening. Again this is normal.

•Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

Setting the temperature

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:

SETTING TEMPERATURE

TYPE OF FABRICS

CONTROL

Linen, cotton

•••

Silk, Wool

••

 

Synthetics

•

(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide)

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 ejected from the steam circuit.

•Iron temperature setting:

-Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those which need higher temperatures (••• or Max).

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

-Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button - fig.3 to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.

Dry ironing

• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.

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

Vertical steam ironing

•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 garments on a coat hanger.

•Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom - fig.4.

Refilling the water tank

When the red “water tank empty” indicator light turns on, there is no more steam

-fig.5.
The water tank is empty.

•Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark - fig.2.

•Replug the generator. Press the “restart” button on the control panel - fig.7. to continue ironing. When the green light stops flashing, the steam is ready.
