Steam Ironing
WARNING !
• Never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn.
• Before ironing for the first time fill iron and allow to heat.
• The iron should be allowed to emit steam for 1 to 2 minutes
while pressing the burst of steam button a few times to
remove any impurities.This should also be done if iron is
not used regularly.
Steam is only produced when the temperature dial is set to the
shaded area (after •• setting).
Burst of steam
- This feature is ideal for removing stubborn
wrinkles or pressing in sharp creases.
When the temperature control is set to the
steam zone (after ••) the burst of steam can
be used by pressing the burst of steam
button. Leave an interval of 4 seconds
between bursts.
Vertical Steam
-
The iron can also be used vertically.
- This is especially useful for getting wrinkles
out of hanging clothes, curtains, tapestries, etc.
- To steam vertically, press the burst of steam
button while holding iron in the upright position.
Warning! Never iron clothes while they are being worn.
Dry Ironing
- To iron without steam, slide the variable steam control lever to
the position.
- We recommend dry ironing with an empty tank.
- Set the temperature for the type of material
to be ironed (•, •• or •••).

rature in the marked steam zone (after ••).
The steam quantity can be set to between

to maximum steam quantity only when
the iron is set at temperature setting (•••).

adjusted to the soleplate temperature, turn
