INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE STEAM IRONING Before steam ironing, make sure the fabric is suitable for this kind of ironing. In the event of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest using distilled water diluted 50% with tap water. Never use chemical substances or detergents (eg perfumed water, essences, descaling solutions, etc). Filling the water tank and connecting to the mains Make sure the mains lead is unplugged from the mains socket. Functioning Press the ON-OFF switch (14) to turn power to the steam generator on. The "steam ready" and "steam generator on" (11) indicator lights come on. The "iron at temperature" (4) indicator light and "iron on" indicator light (10) come on. [. . . ] In certain models with professional iron, a slide (1) allows a continuous output of steam to be obtained by keeping the steam button pressed down mechanically, avoiding the need to do so manually. To release the button, slide the lock forwards. If you inadvertently allow the water in the tank to run dry, you can continue ironing for about 10-15 minutes depending on the quantity of steam used. If the tank is not filled, the pump vibrates and steam is no longer generated. When the tank is topped up with water, the appliance operates as when first turned on. [. . . ]
