STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
- Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
- Move the steam selector (3) to “0” [Fig. 1].
- Open the lid (2).
- Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing.
- Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (18) and taking care
not to go over the maximum level indicated by “MAX” on the reservoir [Fig. 2].
- Close the lid (2).
Selecting the temperature.
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (14) according to the international symbol on the garment
label [Fig. 3]. The STANDBY symbol flicker indicates that the iron is heating up. Wait
until the plate “STANDBY” symbol no flicker before ironing.
Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature pilot light (12) comes on at intervals,
indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat tem-
perature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate tempera-
ture control light comes on again.
Selecting the steam.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).
- Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending on
the quantity of steam required and the temperature selected [Fig. 1].
Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You
can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the
steam selector to “0”. As indicated on the thermostat knob (14) and in the initial table,
you can only use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too
low, water may drip onto the plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically.
Press the shot-steam button (6) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate
the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds
before pressing again [Fig. 4].
By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung
garments, etc.) [Fig. 5].
Warning: the shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emis-
sion when the plate temperature pilot light (12) comes on, than start ironing again only
after the light has gone off.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section “steam ironing”, leaving the steam
selector (3) on position “0”.
Spray Function
Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button (5) slowly (for a
dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray) [Fig. 6].
Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using
the spray function (5), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid
staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.
