INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE IB 40 CLASSIC - COMPACT
- To steam-iron push the steam button (4) on the iron.
Warning: The steam emitted is very hot. Danger of scalding!
Note: The appliance may give out some smoke when using it for the first time. It is a technical
phenomenon that will cease after a short while.
Note:
- After turning the appliance on or after a long pause, direct the first steam jet toward the
air or toward a piece of cloth but not on the garment to be ironed, so that any condensed
water still in the iron may be expelled without staining the garment.
- After the first steam jet the pressure slows down rapidly. It is not a fault. This is due to the
emission of the air that entered the boiler during the filling.
Setting the temperature
To steam-iron, always set the iron temperature control (5) on steam position, otherwise the tem-
perature is too low, the steam condenses and water may drip from the soleplate. The steam
position is in the sector between « •• » and « ••• ». Within this sector it is possible to steam-iron
any fabric.
Note: the ironing symbols on the garment labels refer to the dry ironing only and should not be
followed when steam ironing. With very delicate fabrics we recommend you try ironing in a
hidden part of the garment or if this is not possible place a piece of cloth on the garment and
iron through it
.
Steam-ironing
- As soon as the green steam ready indicator lights up and the warming-up indicator
light on the iron goes off, the ironing station is ready to use.
- Push the "steam" button on the iron.
Warning: The steam emitted is very hot.
Interruption of the steam emission
To interrupt the emission of steam simply release the "steam" button on the iron. When you are
not ironing place the iron (soleplate down) on the iron-rest mat.
After steam-ironing
- Turn off the appliance (on/off switch)
- Pull the plug out of the mains socket
- Let the appliance completely cool down
- Remove the iron cord support
Important: Store the appliance only when it has completely cooled down.
