9. SPRAY (FIG. I)
This function will only work if there is water
in the deposit. Press the spray button (8)
(Fig. I), to obtain a burst of sprayed water
to dampen dry or difficult-to-iron fabrics such
as linen, cotton or wool. Dampening the fabric
slightly will help remove stubborn creases.
The spray option is also useful for dampening
accidental creases created whilst ironing.
Spray is released through spray outlet nozzle
(6).
Note: The first time you use your iron, you
may have to press the spray button a few
times before the option will work.
10. EXTRA STEAM (FIG. J)
Turn the iron on as indicated in the "Steam
ironing" section.
When the iron has reached the selected
temperature, press the extra steam button
(9) down firmly (Fig. J), for an intense
steam expulsion. This option enables you to
iron more quickly and to smooth out
stubborn creases more easily. Wait for at
least 5 seconds before pressing the extra
steam button again, in order to enable the
iron to reach the optimum temperature
required for maximum additional steam
expulsion.
Note: Before ironing, press the extra steam
button a few times to activate it. For
best results, do not press the extra
steam button more than three times
after the pilot light has gone off.
Vertical steam: The extra steam function
can also be used when the iron is in an
upright position. To do so, hold the iron in
an upright position approx. 15 to 20 cm
from the fabric and press the extra steam
button (9)
Warning: Avoid contact with the steam.
Do not direct the steam jets towards
people.
8. STEAM IRONING
Before steam ironing any garment, check that
the fabric is designed for this kind of treatment.
The appliance works with normal tap water.
If
the water in your area is very hard
(hardness level over 27º F), we recommend
the use of pure distilled water.
1.
Place the unplugged iron on a stable, heat-
resistant surface.
2. Fill the water deposit (See "Filling the
deposit"
).
3. Turn the temperature selector (2) to "MIN"
(Fig. B).
4. Place the iron in an upright position, resting it
on the support base (10).
5. Plug the iron in and turn the temperature
selector to " " or "Max". To obtain
optimum results when steam ironing, do not
use the " " or " " positions.
The pilot light (4) will come on. When this
pilot light switches off, the iron will have
reached the selected temperature. The pilot
light will turn on and off at regular intervals
during the ironing process, indicating the
cycles of the thermostat. Remember that if
you change from a higher to a lower
temperature, the pilot light (4) will remain off
until the temperature of the base has
dropped to the selected level, at which point
it will come on again
6. Turn the steam control knob (7) to one of the
steam iron positions (fig. D). Hold the iron in
a horizontal position and the steam outlets
will begin to expel steam. If no steam is
produced, lightly tap the iron base against
the ironing board. Setting the iron in an
upright position, resting on the support base,
will interrupt the steam expulsion.
Caution! Avoid contact with the steam
and do not direct it towards people.
7.
When you have finished, turn the
temperature selector to "MIN", slide the
steam control knob to the dry iron position
(Fig. C), unplug the cable and empty the
deposit. The deposit should be emptied after
each use as follows:
Open the cover (5) and pour the water out of
the deposit (Fig. H). Press the extra steam
button to remove any water that may still be
in the deposit while the base is still hot.
Leave in an upright position until cool.
Note: If you need to top up the deposit
while ironing, always unplug the iron
beforehand.
