[. . . ] Thanks to our long-term experience, we can offer you a work-tool that facilitates and speeds up your daily routine, with excellent results. We have studied our products down to the tiniest detail to combine modern design with maximum functionality. [. . . ] We recommend you to leave the appliance and iron at maximum temperature for a few minutes and then direct the first steam jet toward a cloth before beginning to iron. For best ironing results, you may vary the quantity of steam according to type of fabric. To do this, turn the steam control knob on the appliance, and then press the iron push-button at intervals to obtain the necessary steam. Ironing must be done on surfaces resistant to high temperatures, and which allow steam to permeate. The tank contains cold water and, therefore, filling is absolutley safe and can be done quickly at any time. This means you can iron non-stop without any long pauses while waiting for the boiler to fill. â· Turn the switch/commutator (4) into position 1 (supplying power to the generator + iron) - the steam pressure indicator-light (8) lights up. â· Wait for the steam pressure indicatorlight (8) to go off (less than three minutes). Press the iron steam control push-button (1) for the first time to release the air inside the boiler and steam tube. During this first operational stage, some small drops of water caused by condensation may come out together with the steam. We advise you to direct the first jet A few moments later, the steam indicator-light (8) goes off again and you can begin to iron in the normal way (fig. During operation, the steam pressure indicator-light (8) goes on and off automatically according to steam consumption. To vary the quantity of steam according to type of fabric (depending on how delicate it is), turn control knob (7) anticlockwise (to increase) or clockwise (to reduce) (fig. The mat is in high temperature resistance material, and can be placed on any surface (fig.
