At the end of the ironing session:
By pressing switch with the plug inserted into the wall socket the
appliance remains energized. Press steam button to let out all the
residual steam.
Turn off the appliance by pressing button.
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
Let the iron cool down by resting it on the stand. When putting away
the appliance, make sure that the power cord and the electric cables do
not touch the hot parts.
A normal iron generates only a small quantity of steam. In this case it is necessary to produ-
ce steam constantly in order to eliminate crease in the fabric being ironed.
A professional ironing system works rather differently. The fabric is rst made
Damp by the steam and then, in a second phase, dry-ironed in the normal way. This means
that every. Tiniest crease is removed and your garments are ironed to perfection.
In the rst phase (steam-damping of the fabric),hold the iron about 20 cm. above
The fabric and press the steam. Pass the iron over the garment in a circular movement so
that the powerful jet of steam damps the fabric. Lightly creased garments require only a few
moments of steaming. While very heavy fabrics or garments with particularly difcult crea-
ses must be damper, so steam must be applied for a few seconds more.
During the second phase (dry ironing), check that the thermostat knob is in the correct po-
sition for the type of fabrics; release the steam button and dry-iron the garment. The special
ironing plate will prevent the fabrics from becoming shiny. Using this ironing technique, and
following the suggestions in the chart above, you will nd it easy to give your garments a
really professional ironing nish.
Before cleaning the iron, disconnect it from the power supply
and allow it to completely cool down on the iron stand.
NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
Clean the boiler tank every three months by carrying out the following
the procedure:
- unplug the iron from the wall socket;
- ll the boiler tank with normal tap water, rinse and drain;
- clean the appliance using a wet cloth.
