Adjust the temperature according to the
material to be ironed.
Steam ironing:Black sector.
Before starting to iron.
• Give 2 or 3 bursts of steam to eject
water condensed in the tube, then
test your iron on a piece of material.If
it still spits water increase the tem-
perature slightly.
• If the iron doesn’t emit steam,
lower the temperature slightly.
CAUTION: After adjusting the temp-era-
ture it takes about 2 minutes for the new
temperature to stabilize.
Steam control button
This button allows you to control the
emission of steam from the iron.

You can steam iron all materials, but some materials can be ironed without steam.To iron
without steam,switch the iron on but don’t turn on the steam generator button.
To improve the quality of ironing and increase the effectiveness of your iron,steam iron the
material first and then re-iron it without steam,in order to dry the material.
