STEAM IRONING
1.
Place the Steam Iron in a vertical position, insert the plug into the mains
electrical supply and set the temperature control dial (10) at the minimum/
low heat setting.
2.
Turn the temperature control dial to the MAX heat marking. The indicator
light (9) will illuminate green indicating that the Steam Iron is heating up.
3.
When the indicator light turns red, the required temperature has been
reached and the Steam Iron is ready to use.
4.
During the ironing cycle the indicator light on the Steam Iron will alternate
between red and green as the thermostat maintains the set temperature
(you may continue ironing during this process).
5.
Steam is produced as soon as the Steam Iron is held horizontally.
SPRAYING
1.
Press the spray button (4) to spray water on clothes as often as required.
NOTE: WHEN USING THE WATER SPRAY FUNCTION, ENSURE THAT THERE
IS ENOUGH WATER IN THE WATER TANK. YOU MAY HAVE TO PUMP THE
SPRAY BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES THE FIRST TIME IN ORDER TO START THE
SPRAYING FUNCTION.
BURST OR VERTICAL STEAM
1.
Press the burst of steam button (5) to generate a powerful burst of steam
in order to penetrate the fabric and smooth the toughest creases. Wait for
a few seconds before pressing again.
2.
By pressing the burst of steam button at intervals you can also iron
vertically (curtains; hung garments, etc.).
NOTE: THE BURST OF STEAM FUNCTION CAN ONLY BE USED ON THE HIGH
TEMPERATURE SETTING.
DRY IRONING
1.
For ironing without steam/ dry ironing, follow the same instructions as
when steam ironing but turn the steam control dial (3) to the OFF position
(no steam).
ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
1.
A special filter inside the transparent water tank (11) softens the water and
prevents scale build-up in the soleplate. The filter is permanent and does
not need replacement.
NOTE: USE TAP WATER ONLY. DISTILLED AND DEMINERALIZED WATER
MAKES THE ANTI-CALC SYSTEM INEFFECTIVE BY ALTERING ITS PHYSICO-
CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
1.
This Steam Iron is equipped with a ‘drip-stop’ function: the Steam Iron will
place the user at risk.
23. When handing this product over to a third party, ensure that this instruction
manual is supplied with the appliance.
