The vertical shot steam feature allows your iron to function as a garment steamer.
Tip: When using the vertical shot of steam on clothing, hang the clothing on a clothes
hanger for best results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also be steamed.
How to use Vertical Steam:
1. Allow iron to warm up (2 minutes).
2. Hold the iron in a vertical position, with the iron close to but not touching the fabric you
want to steam.
3. With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.
4. Press the Shot of Steam button in approximately 3-second intervals as you move the
iron across the wrinkled area.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, keep your hand away from the area being
steamed.
WARNING: DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.
• Check the ironing instructions on the label of the item that you wish to iron. Check the
temperature settings table for further instructions.
• Should the specific ironing instructions not appear on the label, follow instructions on
the temperature settings table. This table is only valid for the fabrics indicated and does
not apply to special textiles with a gloss finish, etc. Textiles with special coatings (such
as gloss, relief wrinkles, etc.) are best ironed at very low temperatures. If the textile
consists of several different types of fibers, always select the lowest temperature,
i.e. the temperature recommended for the most delicate fiber in the composition (for
example, if the composition consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you should iron
at the temperature indicated for polyester).
• Set the Iron in an upright position.
• Connect the Iron to an electrical wall socket.
• Set the Temperature Control Dial (figure 4) to the correct ironing temperature as
indicated on the label or the temperature settings table.
