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, holding the iron away from your clothes. · IRON TEMPERATURE CONTROL SLIDE SETTING : - Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature ( ) and finish with those which need higher temperatures ( or Max). - 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 · TO IRON WITHOUT USING STEAM : Do not press on the steam control button on the iron handle. · IRONING BOARD : For best results, a mesh type ironing board should be used to allow any excess steam to escape. · If you are using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed. 8- MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR · Before cleaning, ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest have cooled down. · Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the base unit. · Never immerse your steam generator in water or any other liquid. · While rinsing out the boiler, never fill it directly under the tap. · The appliance must not be used if it has fallen to the floor, shows evidence of damage, leaks or fails to function correctly.
