4 • Steam ironing (Autosteam & Steamforce)
Set the iron on for steam ironing. Your iron is equipped with an integrated compact
steam generator which pushes up to 35% more steam into the fabrics. The steam quantity
and the temperature will adjust automatically to the selected fabric.
5 • Shot of steam
(from temperature setting (••) upwards)
Press the shot of steam button to generate a powerful jet of steam concentrated at the tip
fig.8. This precision shot allows steam concentration in the front area to remove stubborn
creases. Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.
IMPORTANT Leave an interval of a few seconds between each shot and wait until the
flow of steam has finished before standing the iron on its heel.
6 • Vertical shot of steam (from temperature setting (••) upwards)
Hold the iron vertically and press the shot of steam button to remove creases from suits, jackets,
skirts, hanging curtains etc.
fig.9. Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the
button again.
TIP Hold the iron 10 to 20 centimetres away from the garment to avoid burning
delicate fabrics.
IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals!
IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that
you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the
temperature for the most delicate fabric. At the first heating-up of the cold iron please
wait until the Thermostat indicator goes off the second time. Then the set temperature
is reached and you can begin ironing.
TIP: Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
