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 - fig.5 (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom - fig.6.

Refilling the water tank

•When the red "water tank empty" light starts flashing, it means that you have no more steam.- fig.16. The water tank is empty.

•Unplug the steam generator and open the flap on the tank.

•Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark - fig.4.

•Replug the generator. Press the “RESTART” button on the control panel - fig.17. to continue ironing. When the green light stops flashing, the steam is ready.
