While ironing, the light on top of the iron
and the steam ready light turn on and

interrupting ironing. To obtain steam,
press on the steam control button
beneath the iron handle and keep it
pressed - fig.7. The steam will stop when
you release the button.
lways spray starch on the reverse side
of the fabric to be ironed.
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 - fig.7,
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. Each
time you change fabrics, wait for the
light to turn off. 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. If you
want to use steam on delicate fabrics
(•), press the steam control button
(under the handle of the iron)
intermittently to avoid possible water
droplets appearing with the steam.
