Before cleaning, ensure your
steam generator is unplugged
and that the soleplate and the
iron have cooled down.
Use
Steam ironing
• Place the iron's temperature control dial according to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table
below).
• The thermostat light comes on.
I
mportant: whenever you start using your iron and whenever you
reduce the temperature during use, the iron is fully ready for use when its thermostat light goes
out and when the green light located on the control panel stops flashing and remains on.
D
uring use, when you increase the temperature of the iron, you can start ironing immediately.
• While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on and off, as the
temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.
•
To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and keep it pressed - fig.5.
The steam will stop when you release the button.
• 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.
ECO MODE: Your steam generator iron has an ECO mode function which uses less power whilst still
guaranteeing a sufficient steam flow for you to iron your garments properly. In order to use this
function, once the thermostat of your iron has been correctly set (see table above), press on the ECO
mode button located on the control panel. The ECO mode can be used on all types of fabrics,
nevertheless for very thick or very creased fabrics, we recommend that you use the normal steam flow
for best results.
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 -
fig.5 (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top
to bottom - fig.6.
Refilling the water tank
• When the red "water tank empty" light starts flashing, it means that you have no more steam - fig.16.
The water tank is empty.
• Switch off then unplug the steam generator and open the flap on the tank.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark -
fig.4.
• Reconnect then switch the steam generator on again by pressing the on/off switch 12f.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your generator
• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
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.
Do not place the iron
on a metal
support.When taking
a break from ironing,
always place the iron
on the iron rest plate
of the unit. It is
equipped with non-slip
pads and has been
designed to withstand
high temperatures.
