1- STEAM IRONING
Filling the water tank
- Unplug your iron before filling it.
- Set the steam control to DRY (A).
- Take the iron in one hand and hold it with the point of the soleplate tilted downwards.
- To open the water tank stopper, turn it anticlockwise until the arrow on the stopper
points to the "open padlock" symbol (B). It will lift automatically.
- Fill the tank up to the "MAX" line (C).
- Close the water tank stopper again by pressing it in and turning it clockwise until the
arrow points to the "closed padlock" symbol (B).
Setting the temperature
- Set the thermostat control (D) referring to the table below.
- The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough (E).
Setting the steam level
- In order to avoid water dripping from the iron onto the linen:
• Turn off the steam when ironing silk or synthetic fabrics.
• Set it at the minimum position for wool.

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 turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on
before beginning to iron again,
• 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 the hem).
