Filling with water:

• It is essential to have filled the tank with water to be able to work with steam.

If garment has various kinds of fibres, select the temperature for the fibre that requires the lowest temperature. (For example, select the temperature for polyester for a fabric made out of 60% polyester and 40% cotton).

◆ Wait until the power light (F) has gone out, indicating that the appliance has reached an adequate temperature.
During use the power light (F) will automatically flash on and off, indicating that the heating elements are operating in order to maintain the desired temperature.

Dry ironing:
