Recommendations:
Fabrics and ironing temperatures:
• Your iron heats up quickly : so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first,
then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,
• if you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on before beginning
to iron again,
• when ironing fabrics with mixed fibers, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fiber.
For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside hem).
Moistening the fabric (Spray)
Clothes can be dampened using the spray, providing there is water in the tank.
- Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button (F) to dampen clothes to
remove stubborn creases.
- Make sure that there is water in the tank before using this button.
For more steam
- Press the Shot of Steam button from time to time (G)
- Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.
Vertical steam ironing
- Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts,
hanging curtains etc
- Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric
slightly taut with one hand.The steam is
very hot, so you should always do this with the
garment on a hanger – never while someone is
wearing it.
- Set the thermostat control to MAX (H).
- Hold the iron a few inches from the fabric to avoid
burning delicate fabrics.
- Press the Shot of Steam button ( ) repeatedly (I), moving the iron from top to bottom. (See illustration (J)).
Wait a couple of seconds between each use of the button.
Integral anti-scale system (depending on model)
- Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system (K).
- This system will help to provide:
• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,
• lasting performance from your appliance.
