Store your iron
• Set the steam control to and unplug the iron.
• Wait until the soleplate cools down and empty the reservoir.
A little water may remain in the reservoir.
• Wind the cord around the heel of the iron.
• Store the cold iron on its heel (
fig 11 ).
Obtain more steam
(according to model)
• Press the Superpressing button now and again to remove
stubborn creases ( fig 7 ).
Wait a few seconds
between each shot before
pressing the button again.
Vertical steam ironing
(according to model)
Ideal for removing creases in suits, jackets, skirts, curtains, etc. :
• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut
with one hand.
• Set the thermostat control to MAX ( fig 9 ).
• Press the Superpressing button repeatedly ( fig 7 ) moving
the iron from top to bottom (fig 10).
• Hold the iron a few centimetres 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, so
you should always do this
with the garment on a
hanger – never while
someone is wearing it.
Spray Function
• Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the Spray
button ( fig 8 ) to dampen laundry to remove stubborn creases.

the soleplate.
To slow down scaling and

your iron, carry out the
self-cleaning operation
once a month.
