Use
Steam ironing
• Set the iron temperature adjustment dial and the steam flow adjustment
dial (according to model) to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).
• The thermostat light comes on.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button on the iron handle
-
fig.6 .
• 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
- fig.6 . several 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 fa-
bric to be ironed.
Dry ironing
• Do not press on the steam control button - fig.6 .
Vertical steam ironing
• Set the iron temperature dial and the steam flow adjustment
dial (according to model) to the max. position.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric
slightly taut with one hand.
• Press repeatedly on the steam control button - fig.6 .(on the
iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom - fig.7 .
Filling the boiler during use
• VERY IMPORTANT : Before opening your boiler, ensure that there is no more steam left inside by pres-
sing the steam control button - fig.6 located on the handle of the iron and keep it pressed down until
there is no more steam.
• Stop the generator by pressing the on/off switch and disconnecting the plug.
• Slowly unscrew the boiler cap.
• Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of water.
• Fill the boiler
fig.4 , taking care that the water does not spill over. If this occurs, remove the excess water.
• Replace the boiler cap, screwing on tightly, reconnect your generator to the mains, and switch it on.
• Wait until the boiler heats up. After approximately 8 minutes or when the steam ready indicator light
comes on (according to model), the steam is ready.
Never uns-
crew the
boiler cap
while it’s
still stea-
ming.
The generator and the iron are
ready to iron when the steam
ready indicator light (according
to model) is lit and the iron
thermostat dial light has gone
out.
Mixed fibre fabrics : set the iro-
ning temperature to the setting
for the most delicate fabric.
Woollen garments : press repea-
tedly on the steam control but-
ton - fig.6 to obtain short bursts
of steam, without placing the
iron on the garment itself.
This will avoid making the fabric
shiny.

As steam is very hot, never attempt to re-
move creases from a garment while it is
being worn, always hang garment on a coat
hanger. For fabrics other than linen or cotton,
hold the iron a few centimetres from the gar-
ment to avoid burning the fabric.
