To obtain steam, press on the steam button beneath the iron handle and keep it pressed (7). The steam will stop when you release the button. We recommend pressing and releasing the steam button at regular intervals of 15 seconds. Note: It is normal for the steam connection cord to become warm while in use. FILLING DURING USE The red "water tank empty" light turns on when there is no water left to produce steam. Ensure the water tank is replaced securely and press the boiler reset button located on the control panel to continue your ironing (8). (8) VERTICAL STEAM IRONING Warning: Steam produced is very hot. To avoid burns and scalding, never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn. To remove wrinkles in cotton or linen, the soleplate can come in contact with the fabric for optimal results. For synthetic fabrics, a distance of 4 inches is recommend to avoid damage to the garment. For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam). Set the temperature control dial and the steam control dial (located on the control panel) to the maximum position. Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. Holding the iron in a vertical position, press continuously on the steam button (beneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom (9). (9) AFTER IRONING 1. Press the on/off switch (red light goes out) and unplug. Leave the iron to cool down for approximately 60 minutes. Once completely cool, you can put your steam generator away. Removable water tank (10) Empty and rinse the removable water tank before storing (10). We recommend emptying while not in use. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before cleaning, ensure that the steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest have completely cooled down. Do not use any cleaning or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the boiler. Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap. [. . . ] Decrease the steam output while ironing (steam control dial on the control panel). Wait for the iron temperature indicator light to go out before ironing. Press the steam button away from your ironing board until the iron produces steam. Rinse out the boiler after every 10 uses (See section Rinsing Out the Boiler). [. . . ]
