Vertical steam function (depending on model)
This is ideal for removing wrinkles in delicate garments, jackets, skirts,
curtains, etc.:
• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with
one hand.
• Set the temperature control dial to MAX (fig.5).
• Repeatedly press the Burst of Steam button (fig.8) and
continuously move the iron over the fabric (fig.10).
• Hold the iron a few inches from the fabric to avoid burning delicate
fabrics.
Every fifth time you press the
button, return the iron to the
horizontal position.
The steam is very hot.
When using the ve rtical steam
function, always iron with the
garment on a hanger, never
while wearing it.
Spray Function
• The Spray button (fig.9) will release a mist of water onto your fabrics.
Use this to remove stubborn wrinkles.
3-Way automatic shut-off (depending on model)
The iron is equipped with an electronic system that will automatically cut
the power source to your iron if it is left vertically on its heel for more than
8 minutes, on its soleplate for more than 30 seconds or on its side for more
than 30 seconds.
The auto-off warning light (
fig.11) will flash when the iron is in the shut
off mode.
• To restart the iron, gently shake the iron until the warning light stops
flashing.
To store your iron
• Set the steam control to and unplug the iron.
• Wait until the soleplate cools down and empty the water tank. (A little water may remain in the reservoir).
• To wind the cord around the heel of the iron, slide the Easycord system into the knotch in the heel (
fig.12).
Depending on the model, push down the Easycord button, slide the flexible cord into the Easycord system,
and release the button to lock into place (
fig.13). Wind the remainder of the cord around the heel.
• Store the cold iron on its heel.
When the auto-off warning
light is on, it is normal for the
temperature light to remain
off.
Anti-drip function (depending on model)
• If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam
because of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water
leaking from the soleplate.
When using the iron for the first
time, allow 2 minutes for steam
to be produced.
To clean the anti-scale valve
Maintenance and cleaning
It is recommended that you clean the anti-scale valve once a month to remove
scale build up on the valve.
Clean the anti-scale valve as noted below:
• Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
• Press the Self-Clean ejection button (
fig.14a) and remove the anti-scale
valve (
fig.14b)
• Soak the valve (the black section only) in white vinegar or plain lemon
juice for 4 hours.
• Rinse the valve under running water and put the anti-scale valve back.
Unplug your iron and let it
cool completely before
cleaning it.
The iron will not function
without the anti-scale
valve.
Never touch the end of the
valve !
