using your steam generator 

We recommend that you:

• 

Start by ironing those items of laundry that require the lowest temperature (e.g. 

synthetics). Finish by ironing fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures and 

steam—such as cotton and linen.

•  If you iron a fabric made of a blend of fibres set the temperature of your iron to the 

most delicate fibre.

• 

When using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the 

soleplate cleaned more frequently.

• 

Do not iron over sharp or hard objects such as buttons, studs or zippers as they will 

scratch the soleplate of your iron.

Important

Your steam generator takes time to heat up and cool down. If you change the 

temperature setting on your steam generator, you must give it time to adjust to the new 

setting.
This is especially important when you change from a high setting to a lower one. It takes 

your steam generator longer to cool down than it does to heat up and this is the reason 

we recommend that you begin ironing at lower temperatures.
If you do need to reduce the temperature of your steam generator, wait until the 

temperature indicator light comes on and then goes out again before ironing. This will 

ensure that your steam generator has cooled to the lower temperature and is not too hot 

for the fabric being ironed.
For example, you have been ironing using the 

lll

 setting and wish to change to the 

ll

setting:

1.  Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer to the 

ll

 setting. Initially, the 

temperature indicator light will be off because your steam generator is still at the 

higher temperature.

2.  Wait until the temperature indicator light comes on and then goes out again. Your 

steam generator has now cooled to the correct temperature.
