level (Fig.1).
• Close water inlet lid.
USE:
• Unroll the cable completely before plugging it in.
• Connect the appliance to the mains.
• Slide the thermostat control to the desired tem-
perature position.
• The pilot light (D) comes on.
• Do not use temperatures higher than those
indicated on the garments to be treated.
- ● Temperature for synthetic fibres (Polyester,
Nylon...).
- ●● Temperature for silk and wool.
- ●●● Temperature for cotton. (Minimum tempera-
ture for steam ironing)
- Max Temperature for linen.
• If garment has various kinds of fibres, select the
temperature for the fibre that requires the lowest
temperature. (For example, select the tempera-
ture for polyester for an article made out of 60%
polyester and 40% cotton).
• Wait until the pilot light has gone out which will
indicate that the appliance has reached an
adequate temperature.
• During the appliance's use the pilot light will
come on and off automatically, indicating the
heating elements are working, and therefore
maintaining the desired temperature.
DRY IRONING:
• The appliance has an option to dry ironing
(without steam). To use this option turns on only
the iron switch.
• Selector (F) in steam position on
STEAM IRONING:
• It is possible to iron with steam whenever the
deposit is filled with water and the adequate
temperature is selected.
• Selector (F) in steam position off
FORDABLE HANDLE:
• By pressing the button (H) the handle is folded
for an easy storage, pressing to close and open.
STEAM BLAST:
• This function proportions extra steam for elimi-
nating wrinkles.
• Press the steam blast button (A). Wait a few
seconds until vapour penetrates the fibres of the
garment before pushing the button again. For
optimum steam quality, do not apply more than
three successive blasts.
• The steam blast button has to be pressed
repeatedly to release the first shot.
VERTICAL STEAMING:
• It is possible to iron hanging curtains, items of
clothing on his hanger, etc. To do so, follow the
instructions:
• Select the maximum temperature of the iron,
while turning the temperature regulator of the
iron in a clockwise direction.
• Move the iron in a top to bottom direction while
pressing the steam control (A). Important: for
cotton and linen, it's recommended to put the
iron base in contact with the material. For other
more delicate fibres, it's recommended to keep
the iron base at some centimetres of distance.
ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING THE
APPLIANCE:
• Select the minimum position (MIN) using the
thermostat control.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains.
• Remove the water from the inside of the
appliance.
• Clean the appliance.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Classify the garments into groups by ironing
temperature. The appliance heats up more
quickly than it cools down, therefore, to avoid
accidents, minimise energy consumption and
optimise time, it is advisable to start off ironing
items that require lower temperatures and pro-
gress to those that need higher temperatures.
• Pure wool fabrics (100%) can be ironed with the
iron set to steam. Select a high steam tempera-
ture and place a cotton cloth between the iron's
metal surface and the garment.
CLEANING
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains and
allow it to cool before undertaking any cleaning
task.
• Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a
few drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
• Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or
base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products,
for cleaning the appliance.
• Never submerge the appliance in water or any
other liquid or place it under running water.
