Preparation
Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board must be used to allow any excess steam to escape
and to avoid steam venting sideways.
What water may be used ?
• Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The
types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that
can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: water
from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators,
batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain
water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or
bottled water.
Using your steam generator
• Completely unwind the power cord and the steam cord from its storage
space.
• Plug in your steam generator to an earthed socket.
• The boiler heats up -
When the green "steam ready" light stops flashing (after 2 minutes
approximately), the appliance is ready.
Use
Steam ironing
• Place the iron's temperature control dial according to the type of fabric to be
ironed (see table below).
• The thermostat light comes on. Be careful ! The steam generator is ready
when the thermostat light goes out and when the green "steam ready" light
stays on.
• 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 under the iron handle and
keep it pressed - fig.3. The steam will stop when you release the button.
