Steam ironing
During steam ironing, if you do not allow your steam generator to reach the-
selected temperature water may drip from the soleplate. During use the steam
pipe and iron rest will become very hot.
It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen,
steam should be used when ironing.
When ironing cotton and linen, always select the highest temperature. Steam
should never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.
1.
Fill the water tank with water.
2.
Plug your steam generator into the mains supply and press the on/off but-
ton to switch your steam generator on.
3.
Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer to between the
and the maximum heat (MAX) setting.
4.
The temperature indicator light will light up as your steam generator heats
up. When the temperature indicator light goes out your steam generator is
at the selected temperature. The temperature indicator light will turn on and
off during ironing as your steam generator maintains the correct temperature.
5.
You will hear a buzzing sound as the pump inside your steam generator
operates and transfers water from the water tank to the boiler where steam is
produced. Set the desired amount of steam as described below in the Adjust-
ing the amount of steam section. The steam indicator light will flash as your
steam generator heats the water to create steam. When the steam indicator
light stops flashing, your steam generator is ready to use. The steam indicator
light will occasionally flash during ironing. This is normal.
6.
With the soleplate in contact with the garment, press the steam trigger for a
couple of seconds. It is not necessary to hold the trigger down continuously as
steam will still be emitted from the soleplate for a short time after the trigger
has been released. If more steam is required, press the steam trigger again.
Always release the trigger and allow any residual steam to be released before
replacing the iron on its stand.
The pump will occasionally start and stop during ironing. This is normal
