It is equipped with non-slip pads and
has been designed to withstand high
temperatures.
6 • Vertical steam ironing
Set the temperature of the iron to the
max position.
Hang the garment on a coat hanger and
hold the fabric slightly taut with one
hand. Press repeatedly on the steam
- fig.7 control button (beneath the iron
handle) moving the iron from top to
bottom - fig.8.
As steam is very hot: never attempt to
remove creases from a garment while
it is being worn, always hang
garments on a coat hanger. For fabrics
other than linen or cotton, hold the
iron a few centimetres from the
garment to avoid burning the fabric.
Examples of how to use the vertical
steaming function:
• Removing creases directly on hangers
from delicate fabrics that you do not
want to bring into contact with the hot
iron
• Refreshing a shirt or a suit just before
putting it on.
7 • Dry ironing
Do not press on the steam control
button.
8 • Fill the water tank again
When there is no more steam and
the”Water tank empty” light flashes -
fig.9 : water tank is empty.
Unplug the steam generator. Take the
water jug and fill it with a maximum of a
litre of water and pour the water into the
water tank being careful not to exceed
the Max level - fig.1.
If this occurs, remove the excess
water.
Plug in the steam generator - fig.3. Press
the “Restart” button underneath the
control panel - fig.10.
The steam generator and the iron are
ready for use when the steam indicator
light is on - fig.6 and the iron temperature
control light goes out.
9 • Storing the steam generator
Press the illuminated on/off switch O/I
and unplug the generator. Place the iron
on the iron rest on the steam generator.
Fold the steam cord in two and place it in
its housing - fig.25.
Wind up the power cord and attach it
with the velcro - fig.26.
Leave the steam generator to cool for at
least one hour before putting it away if it
is to be stored in a cupboard or confined
space. You can then store your steam
generator safely.
MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING ________________
10 • Cleaning the generator
Do not use any cleaning or descaling
products for cleaning the soleplate or
the base-unit. Never hold the iron or
the base unit under the tap.
The Iron soleplate: clean the soleplate of
your iron when it is cool with a damp
cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.
The base unit: Clean the plastic parts of
the appliance occasionally with a soft
cloth.
11 • Easy descaling of your
steam generator
Do not use any descaling substances
(vinegar, industrial descaling
products, etc.) when rinsing the scale
collector : they could damage it.
Before emptying your steam
generator, it must always be left to
cool for 2 hours to avoid any risks of
scalding.
