. Steam ironing

Depending on the model, the rate of steam flow
from your iron is either fixed or variable.

- If the flow of steam from your iron is fixed,
select the setting on the steam adjustment
control (C) (depending on model).

- If the steam flow for your iron is variable,
select this by setting the steam adjustment
control (C) to the desired zone (depending on
model).

Please note: Steam ironing is only possible in
the steam zone indicated on the temperature
adjustment control (J).

. Dry ironing

- Adjust the steam adjustment control (C) to the
setting .

. Spray

- Press the spray button (E) in pulses.A spray of
cold water enables you to dampen your
laundry whether you are ironing dry or with
steam. Very effective in getting rid of a crease!

. Pressing (depending on model)

- Push the pressing button (F). Your iron will
then instantly release a high-powered jet of
steam.

Notes:

- Do not exceed 5 successive pulses, in order to
prevent your iron from dripping.

- Always use this function in the steam zone
indicated on the temperature adjustment
control (J).

- When you use the pressing function for the
first time, small fragments of scale may come
out with the jet of steam via the holes in the

soleplate. We therefore advise that you press
the jet steam away from your linen on first use.

. Perfectpoint (depending on model)

- Press button (G). Your iron will instantly

release a high-powered jet of steam,
concentrated on the zone in front of the
soleplate, for reaching difficult places
(armholes, buttonholes, etc.).

. Vertical crease removal (depending on

model)

You also have the option of using your iron in
the vertical position to remove creases from
your clothes on a hanger, curtains, etc.

For models without the Perfectpoint
system:

- Set the temperature adjustment control (J) to
«MAX» setting.

- Hold the iron in the vertical position close to
the fabric, without touching it. Push the
pressing button (F) at the rate of not more than
one pulse per second.

For models with the Perfectpoint system:

- Set the temperature adjustment control (J) to
«MAX» setting.

- Hold the iron in the vertical position close to
the fabric, without touching it. Press the
Perfectpoint button (G) at the rate of not
more than one pulse per second.

Notes:

- You can use up to 5 pulses in the vertical
position. Put down your iron for a few seconds
before resuming crease removal.

- The steam produced is not always visible, but
still retains its ability to remove creases.

Important: Never use this function for synthetic
fibres. Keep the iron far away enough from the
fabric to avoid any risk of scorching. As the
steam produced is very hot, never remove
creases from a garment which is being worn by
someone - it must always be on a hanger.

. “Aqua stop” (drip-stop system) (depending

on model)

This system controls the temperature of the
soleplate at all times. Below a certain
temperature, the “Aqua Stop” system cuts off
the flow of water and stops the iron from
dripping onto the laundry.

. Anticalc System (depending on model)

This fixed system, located within the tank,
reduces the problems linked with scale build­up.
To prolong the effectiveness of this system, we
advise that you perform the following operation
