INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Check the manufacturer's label on the garment, and interpret the symbol on the label as follows: · It is best not to use steam when ironing silk or synthetics, as iron temperature and pressure will be enough to ensure good results. Use the WOOL setting if you wish to iron particularly delicate fabrics (synthetics and silk) with steam. · To optimise ironing time, iron the most delicate fabrics (SYNTH or SILK settings) before heavier fabrics. If you do it the other way around, even if steam production is not stopped, you will have to wait for the iron and the boiler to cool down to the selected iron temperature and steam pressure. SETTING Ironing instructions given on the label Type of fabric: Acetates Acrylic Velvet Nylon Ironing instructions given on the label Type of fabric: Silk Viscose Polyester Ironing instructions given on the label Type of fabric: Wool Fibres SETTING SETTING Ironing instructions given on the label Type of fabric: Cotton Denim SETTING Ironing instructions given on the label Type of fabric: Linen SETTING The symbol on the label means: do not iron To raise the temperature setting, press selector (D1) until the name of the fabric to be ironed appears on the display. Vice versa, to lower the temperature setting, press selector (D2). While the iron is heating up, when you select the type of fabric, the icons for the iron (D6), water boiler (D8) and the name of the fabric selected (D5) will continue to flash until the operating temperature is reached. N.B.: When the "SYNTH" and "SILK" settings are selected, the water boiler icon (D8) will not light up. Once the optimum temperature has been reached, the icons will stop flashing and the appliance may be used. When you change from a fabric type setting 29 ENGLISH IRONING · Choose the type of fabric to be ironed using selectors (D1) and (D2), and following the indications given in the tables above. The iron has settings for five types of fabric: · SYNTH (synthetics) · SILK · WOOL · COTTON · LINEN Steam is not delivered when the appliance is set on "SYNTH" and "SILK". VL FOREVER INTELLIGENT - VL FOREVER INTELLIGENT INOX with a higher temperature to one with a lower one (using selector (D2)), the iron off icon (OFF) (D7) will light up and remain on, while the iron icon (D6) and the name of the fabric selected (D5) will flash until the iron reaches the right temperature. As soon as warning lights (D5) and (D6) stop flashing and the off light (OFF) (D7) switches off, the appliance can be used. While the appliance is cooling, it will beep every 20 seconds. When it has cooled to the set temperature, the appliance will issue a longer beep. NOTE: When you first request steam, a few drops of water may drip from the plate. This is because the temperature is not yet fully stable. We therefore recommend that you release the first jet of steam onto a clean cloth. The amount of steam delivered and the temperature of the iron are automatically set according to the type of fabric selected and are displayed by icons (D3) and (D4). · (*) To obtain a continuous jet of steam, move button (8) forward. The steam will continue to be delivered even when you release the button. Move the same button (8) backwards to stop the jet of steam (fig.2). (*) Only VL Forever Intelligent wait before refilling the water boiler. When the water inside the boiler reaches the minimum level, the appliance automatically starts the pump and refills the boiler.
