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.
This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam circuit.
• Iron temperature control setting :
- Start with 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.
• Steam output control dial setting :
- Thick fabric : increase the steam setting.
- At a low temperature : set the steam output control dial to the low position.
• Dry ironing :
- Do not press the steam control button beneath the iron handle. Do not press the “Precision
Steam Jet” button or humid steam button on the iron handle (according to the model).
• If you are using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
• Ironing board :
For best results a mesh type ironing board should be used to allow any excess steam to escape.
