Use
Steam ironing
• Place the iron's temperature control slide according to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).
• The iron’s light will come on. Important: whenever you start using your iron and whenever you reduce the temperature during use, the iron is ready for use when its indicator light goes out and when the green light located on the control panel comes on and remains on. During use, when you increase the temperature of the iron, you can start ironing immediately, but make sure you only increase your steam flow once the iron’s light has gone out.
• Adjust the steam output control dial (located on the control panel).
• When the iron is in use, the iron thermostat light on the iron comes on and
goes off according to the soleplate temperature requirement without this having any effect on the use of the appliance.
•To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and keep it pressed – fig.10. The steam will stop when you release the button.
•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

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.

Check the garment label if you are not sure what type of fabric it is made of.
•Iron temperature setting:
-Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those which need higher temperatures (••• or Max).
-For 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.10 to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.
•Steam output setting:
-Thick fabric: increase the steam setting.
-If you intend to iron at low temperature, set the steam control button to MINI and press the steam button whenever needed.
• If you put your thermostat in the “min” position, the iron does not become hot.
