• 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.
Setting the temperature
• Iron temperature setting:
- Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those
which need higher temperatures (••• or Max).
- 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.3 to
obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.
Dry ironing
• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
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 (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top
to bottom - fig.4.
Refilling the water tank
When the red “water tank empty” indicator light turns on, there is no more steam
- fig.5.
The water tank is empty.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark - fig.2.
• Replug the generator. Press the “restart” button on the control panel - fig.7.
to continue ironing. When the green light stops flashing, the steam is ready.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
TYPE OF FABRICS
SETTING TEMPERATURE
CONTROL
Linen, cotton
•••
Silk, Wool
••
Synthetics
(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide)
•
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.
Recommendations : for
fabrics other than linen
or cotton, hold the iron
a few centimetres from
the garment to avoid
burning the fabric.
