USE

Steam ironing

• Place the iron's temperature control dial according to the type of fabric to be ironed (see
table below).
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
T
YPE OF FABRICS
Synthetics, silk
(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide)
Wool, viscose
Linen, cotton
• The thermostat light comes on.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button on the iron handle
• The steam will stop when you release the button.
• Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature and finish with those which need
higher temperatures (••• or Max).
• To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not
used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam control button
times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes.This will enable any cold water to be
removed from the steam circuit.
• For delicate fabrics, press the steam control button (on the handle of the iron) intermittently
to avoid possible water droplets appearing with the steam.
• If you are using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
Mixed fibre fabrics : set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most
delicate fabric.
Woollen garments : press repeatedly on the steam control button - fig.2 to
obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.
This will avoid making the fabric shiny.

Dry ironing

• Do not press on the steam control button
Vertical steam ironing
• Set the iron temperature control dial to the MAX position.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. As steam
is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn,
always hang garments on a coat hanger.
• Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam
control button - fig.2
fig.3.
Recommendations : for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few
centimetres from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.
