Before use
Sort out the items to be ironed according to the type of
fabric. This will minimise the frequency of temperature
adjustment for different garments.
Note: The steam facility should only be used on garments
which are suitable for ironing at the 2 and 3 dot settings.
Textiles and clothes are supposed to carry ironing
instructions. If they don’t you should follow the fabric guide
on page 5, but be sure to test the temperature by ironing
the hem of the garment or similar area first.
If you turn the control dial down from a hot setting to a
cooler setting, wait until the iron temperature has stabilised
before you continue ironing.
Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool,velour, etc, are best
ironed with an ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.

insert the plug into the electrical socket.
The steam output can be varied from low to high by turning
the variable steam control

range shown on the control dial.
Note: For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot
more than three times in succession.
