Vertical steam ironing

on the control panel) to the MAX position.

the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top
to bottom – fig.9.

fig.10. The water tank is empty.

- 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.8 to
obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.
•• SStteeaamm oouuttppuutt sseettttiinngg::
- Thick fabric: increase the steam setting.
- At a low temperature : set the steam output control dial to the low position.
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.
Before cleaning, ensure
your steam generator is
unplugged and that the
soleplate and the iron
have cooled down.
