Ironing system
5
Useful tips
• When using the iron for the first time or if the steam has
not been used for a few minutes, rotate the steam wheel
several times away from your clothes. This will remove any
cold water from the steam circuit.
• Start with garments to be ironed at a low temperature and
finish with those requiring a higher temperature.
- If the thermostat dial is set at a low temperature, turn
the steam emission knob towards the minimum.
- For thick fabric turn the steam emission knob towards
the maximum.
• An open mesh type ironing board is recommended for best
results, as this lets the steam through.
Topping up the tank with water
When the water in the steam generator runs out, the light comes
on (fig. 12).You should top-up the water in the tank as soon as pos-
sible (max. 2 minutes) following the same procedure as filling for the
first time.This will enable you to continue ironing without interrup-
tion. If you top up too late (more than 2 minutes), the system will
stop discharging steam. Once the level of water in the tank has been
topped up, the appliance will operate as if turned on for the first
time. Steam will be ready in 5 minutes and during these 5 minutes
you can hear the pump fill 4 or 5 times for about 30 seconds.
The steam generator is now stabilised and will operate as normal,
filling the water every now and then.
When the "no water" light comes on, you should not con-
tinue steam ironing with the pump vibrating.
Ironing with no water in could irreparably damage your
ironing system.
Ver tical ironing
The ironing system can be used for taking creases out and freshen-
ing garments on hangers, and curtains.
1. Set the thermostat dial and steam emission knob to maximum.
2. Hold the iron in a vertical position.
3. Rotate the wheel forwards (you may wish to use the steam lock)
and move the iron up and down the garment.
Unless the fabric is cotton or linen we suggest holding the iron
a few centimetres away from the material.

•To obtain steam discharge, rotate the wheel forwards (fig. 10).The
wheel can be rotated from the top or the bottom of the handset
(fig.11); choose whichever is most comfortable for you.
•To obtain continuous steam rotate the wheel forwards until
it locks into place.To release the continuous steam, rotate the
steam wheel backwards and the steam stops.
