Steam Ironing

WARNING !

Never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn.

• Before ironing for the first time fill iron and allow to heat.
• The iron should be allowed to emit steam for 1 to 2 minutes 

while pressing the burst of steam button a few times to 
remove any impurities. This should also be done if iron is 
not used regularly.

Steam is only produced when the temperature dial is set to the
shaded area (after •• setting).

Burst of steam

- This feature is ideal for removing stubborn 

wrinkles or pressing in sharp creases in hori-
zontal use. When the temperature control is 
set to the steam zone (after ••) the burst of 
steam can be used by pressing the burst of 
steam button. Leave an interval of 4 seconds 
between bursts.

Vertical Steam

- The iron can also be used vertically. 
- This is especially useful for getting creases 

out of hanging clothes, curtains, tapestries, etc.

- To steam vertically, press the burst of steam 

button while holding iron in the upright position. 

Warning! Never iron clothes while theyare being worn.

Dry Ironing

-

To iron without steam, slide the variabe steam control lever to
the position. 

-

We recommend dry ironing with an empty tank.

-

Set the temperature for the type of material 
to be ironed (•, •• or •••).

Steam ironing*

- You can steam iron by setting the tempe-

rature in the marked steam zone (after ••). 
The steam quantity can be set to between 

(no steam position) and 

(maximum

steam quantity). We recommend setting 
to maximum steam quantity only when 
the iron is set at temperature setting •••.

Auto Steam*

- For steam output to be automatically 

adjusted to the soleplate temperature, turn
the steam control to the 

position.
