hen starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam station's electric pump injects water into the boiler.
It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening. Again
this is normal.
Use
Steam ironing
• Place the iron’s temperature control slide according to the type
o
f fabric to be ironed (see table below).
• The thermostat light comes on.
Important: whenever you start using your iron and whenever you reduce the tempera-
ture during use, the iron is ready for use when its indicator light goes out and when the
green light located on the control panel comes on and remains on. During use, when you
increase the temperature of the iron, you can start ironing immediately, but make sure
you only increase your steam flow once the iron’s light has gone out.
• Adjust the steam output control dial (located on the control panel).
• When the iron is in use, the iron thermostat light on the iron comes on and goes off ac-
cording to the soleplate temperature requirement without this having any effect on the
use of the
appliance.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and keep it
pressed – fig.6. The steam will stop when you release the button.
• When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam station’s electric pump
injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear
a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening. Again this is normal.
• Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed
Set the temperature and steam control
• Iron temperature setting:
- Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those which
need higher temperatures (••• or Max).
- Mixed fibre fabric: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
- Woollen garments: press repeatedly on the steam control button
- fig.5 to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.
• Steam output setting:
- Thick fabric: increase the steam setting.
- At a low temperature: set the steam output control dial to the low position
If you put your thermostat in the “min” position, the iron does not become hot.
MODE ECO:
Your steam station iron has an ECO mode function which uses less power whilst still guaranteeing a sufficient steam flow
for you to iron your garments properly. In order to use this function, once the thermostat of your iron has been correctly
set (see table above), position the steam flow setting on the ECO segment - fig.12. The ECO mode can be used on all
types of fabrics, however, for very thick or very creased fabrics, we recommend that you use the maximum steam flow
for best results.

o not place the iron
on a metal support.
When taking a break
from ironing, always
place the iron on the
iron rest plate of the
unit. It is equipped
with non-slip pads
and has been des-
igned to withstand
high temperatures.
Always use a ven-
ted/mesh ironing
board and be careful
of hot steam when
ironing close to the
edges of the board.
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, holding
the iron away from
your clothes. This
will enable any cold
water to be ejected
from the steam
circuit.
