Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down)
and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
- Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
- Move the steam selector (3) to "0" [Fig. 1].
- Open the lid (2).
- Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing.
- Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (12) and taking care
not to go over the maximum level (about 260ml) indicated by "MAX" on the reservoir [Fig.
2].
- Close the lid (2).
Selecting the temperature.
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (9) according to the international symbol on the garment
label [Fig. 3]. The plate temperature control light (8) indicates that the iron is heating up.
Wait until the plate temperature control light goes off before ironing.
Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature control light (8) comes on at intervals,
indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat
temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate
temperature control light comes on again.
Selecting the steam.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).
- Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending on
the quantity of steam required and the temperature selected [Fig. 1].
Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You
can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the
steam selector to "0". As indicated on the thermostat knob (9) and in the initial table, you
can only use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low,
water may drip onto the plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically.
Press the shot-steam button (4) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate
the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds
before pressing again [Fig. 4].
By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung
