●
Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate
should be cleaned by passing it over an
old, clean cotton cloth, while using the
steam jet function; this helps to flush out
any dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the soleplate.
●
The steam output can be adjusted with
the steam control button or completely
switched off for dry ironing.

Steam Jet
When the steam jet button is depressed, an
additional hot steam jet is emitted from the
soleplate. This function can be very useful
when the regular amount of steam emitted is
not sufficient to remove stubborn creases or
when ironing difficult or thick fabrics. The
steam jet function may also be used with the
iron held vertically, to remove creases or
wrinkles from fabrics.

the spray button. This will help to smooth
out difficult areas. The spray nozzle may be
used at any temperature level during dry or
steam ironing.
Ionic function
This function is activated by pressing the
Ionic button. It causes the steam molecules
to be reduced in size, enabling them to
penetrate deeper into the fabric. This
function is also enhanced by the ceramic-
coated sole plate, which in this way makes
for more effective ironing of difficult areas.
The Ionic function remains active only as
long as the Ionic button is depressed. A low
buzzing signal is heard and the blue indicator
light in the water container comes on.
