8- VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
1. Set the iron temperature control slide and the steam output control dial (located on the
control panel) to the MAX position.
2. 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 garment on a coat hanger.
3. Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam
control button (under the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom (13).
Recommendations : for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron
a few centimetres from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.

WHEN THE RED LIGHT “WATER TANK EMPTY” COMES ON
There is no more steam.The removable water tank is empty.
1. Grasp the handles of the removable tank and pull horizontally to remove it; fill with water.
2. Replace and push it firmly into place.
3. Press the “restart” button on the control panel to continue ironing (12).
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.
