steam ironing
, Water spotting affects some fabrics. Test this out on a hidden part of the fabric.
20 Check that there’s water in the reservoir.
21 Set the temperature control to S or higher.
22 Use the + and - buttons to set the level of steam you need, from no steam to maximum. We
suggest using medium or high for all but the most stubborn creases.
23 Wait till the ready light on the iron goes out, and the Z “not ready” symbol disappears from
the display.
prime the iron
a) remove the iron from the base
b) move it away from the garment, in case it drips
c) hold the iron so the soleplate is level with the ironing board
d) squeeze the trigger and hold it in
e) it may take a minute or so for the steam to reach the iron
f) you’ll hear the pump throbbing
g) the note will change, and steam will come from the soleplate
h) now it’s ready to steam iron
24 Squeeze the trigger for steam, release the trigger to stop the steam.
25 Try not to let the reservoir run dry while the iron is in use, or you’ll have to
prime it again after refilling.
26 Don’t hold the trigger for more than 3 minutes, or water may drip on the
fabric. You wouldn’t normally iron part of a garment for anything like 3
minutes, but you can get carried away when you’re ironing vertically –
especially with curtains.
, Residual steam may escape from the iron after releasing the trigger. This is normal, don’t
worry about it.
spray
27 Having 4 levels of steam means you probably won’t need the spray
function, but it’ll come in handy for exceptionally stubborn creases.

28 This works with dry or steam ironing, as long as there’s water in the
atomiser bottle.
atomiser
a) hold the atomiser by the grips on either side, and lift it up and off
the iron
b) pull the bottle down, to free it from the atomiser
c) fill the bottle with water, but not to the brim
d) align the arrows on the back of the bottle and atomiser
e) lower the tube into the bottle
f) stop when the rim of the bottle fits inside the atomiser
g) align the tabs under the atomiser with the slots in the iron
h) lower the atomiser and bottle into the front of the iron
29 Check that the atomiser bottle contains water.
30 Lift the iron off the fabric.
31 Aim the spray nozzle at the fabric.
32 Press the * button.
