IRONING WITHOUT STEAM TO IRON LINEN OR COTTON WITH A HIGH FLOW OF STEAM 7 1. Set the thermostat control to Linen or Cotton. 2. Press the “Jeans” (K) (depending on the model) trigger while ironing. This increases the flow of steam. 3. Do not press the trigger (depending on the model) for more than 30 seconds. Wait a minute before using it again. Press repeatedly on the Spray button to dampen the fabric. or Use the Burst of Steam button pressing two or three times in quick succession to obtain a more powerful burst of steam.

Fill the tank to the MAX mark (see our recommendations on the type of water to use). 2. Put the thermostat control (H) on MAX and the steam control (G) on and switch on. 3. Place the iron on its heel and wait around 5 minutes. 4. Unplug the iron and place over the sink horizontally. Push the lock (E) backwards to free the anti-calc valve, then remove it completely. 5. Shake the iron gently until most water (and any impurities) has drained from the soleplate. N.B. Once you have done this, it is normal for a little water to remain in the water tank because the iron’s anti-drip system may prevent the tank being completely emptied.This will not effect its ironing performance. 6. Replace the anti-calc valve (E). 7. When the soleplate is just warm, wipe the iron with a soft cloth. 8. To keep the anti-calc valve working, once a month leave it to soak in white vinegar or pure lemon juice for around 2 hours. Rinse the stem with water before inserting back in the iron. 9CARING FOR YOUR IRON ! Note! Your iron will only operate when the anti-calc valve is in place. 2 1 9CARING FOR YOUR IRON ! Note!
