Moistening the fabric (Spray)
Recommendations:
Fabrics and ironing temperatures:
• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those
requiring a higher temperature,
• if you change to a program requiring lower temperatures, wait for the thermostat light to come on again before continuing
to iron (for models fitted with the “Thermo-Alert”, refer to the section “Thermo-Alert function”).
• when ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre.
For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside them).
• For best results we recommend you use a vented ironing board to allow the powerful steam to penetrate through the fabric
more efficiently.
• Ensure that the fabric you are ironing is flat to avoid steam venting sideways whilst ironing.
- While ironing, press a few times in succession on the Spray button to dampen the fabric (H) and
iron out obstinate creases.

- Press the Shot of Steam button from time to time (I)
- Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.

I
- Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc
- Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never while someone is wearing it.
- Set the iron to program 8 (J).
- Hold the iron a few inches from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics.
- Press the Shot of Steam button ( ) repeatedly (K), moving the iron from top to bottom. (See illustration) (L).

You iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system (M).
- This system will help to provide :
• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,
• a longer life for your iron.
Integral anti-scale system
- The principle of automatic selection of the steam according to the fabric selected, reduces the steam flow at lower
temperatures and avoids water dripping from your iron onto the fabric.

- The electronic system cuts off the electric power and
the Auto-Stop warning light flashes if
the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal
position for more than 30 seconds, for your security (N).
- To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.
Note : when the Auto-Stop warning light is on, it is normal for the thermostat light to remain off.
