Using Your Steam Generator - Rowenta PRO PERFECT DG8740F0 Manual De Instrucciones

USE
3 • Switching on your steam
generator
Press on the on / off switch
begins flashing. The green light (located
on the control panel) flashes and the
boiler heats up.
When starting, and regularly while it is
being used, your steam generator's
electric pump injects water into the boiler.
It makes a noise but this is quite normal.
The steam generator and the iron are
ready for use when the steam indicator
light is on and the iron light goes out.
The first time the appliance is used,
there may be some fumes and smell but
this is not harmful. They will not affect
use and will disappear quickly.

While ironing, the light on top of the iron
and the steam ready light turn on and
off, as the temperature adjusts without
interrupting ironing. To obtain steam,
press on the steam control button
beneath the iron handle and keep it
pressed - fig.8. The steam will stop when
you release the button.
Always spray starch on the reverse side
of the fabric to be ironed.
Recommendations: 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 several times in a row - fig.8,
holding the iron away from your
clothes. This will enable any cold
water to be removed from the steam
circuit.
Iron temperature control setting: Start
with fabrics to be ironed at a low
temperature and finish with those
which need higher temperatures. Each
time you change fabrics, wait for the
light to turn off. Mixed fibre fabrics:
set the ironing temperature to the
setting for the most delicate fabric.
- Woollen garments: press repeatedly
on the steam control button to obtain
short bursts of steam, without placing
the iron on the garment itself. This will
avoid making the fabric shiny. Steam
output control dial setting: Thick
fabric: increase the steam setting. At a
low temperature: set the steam output
control dial to the low position. For
delicate fabrics(•), press the steam
control button (under the handle of
the iron) intermittently to avoid
possible water droplets appearing
with the steam.
