• 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. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening.
Again this is normal.
• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TYPE OF FABRIC TO BE IRONED:
T
YPE OF FABRICS
Linen, cotton
Silk, Wool
Synthetics
(polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide)
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,
holding the iron away
from your clothes. This
will enable any cold
water to be ejected from
the steam circuit.
Dry ironing
• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
Recommendations : for
fabrics other than linen
or cotton, hold the iron
a few centimetres from
the garment to avoid
burning the fabric.
Refilling the water tank
When the red "water tank empty" indicator light turns on, there is no more steam
fig.5.
-
The water tank is empty.
• Pour in untreated tap water up to the max mark -
• Replug the generator. Press the "restart" button on the control panel -
to continue ironing. When the green light stops flashing, the steam is ready.
• Iron temperature setting:
- Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those
which need higher temperatures (••• or Max).
- Mixed fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most
delicate fabric.
- Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button -
obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.
• Set the iron temperature control dial to the MAX position.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one
hand.
As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment
while it is being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.
• Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on
the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top
