MTo avoid an automatic switch off while the iron is heating up, always keep the iron on its heel.
MStart at a low temperature and graduate to a high tempera- ture.
MFor delicate fabrics we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam).
MSteam can only be produced when the thermostat is in the red cotton/linen zone.

Set the variable steam control to required steam volume. Steam can only be produced when the thermo- stat is aligned to ●●● (red zone on dial). (If on setting ● or ●● the vari- able steam lever should be shut off.) Allow iron to heat up (light goes out) before activating the steam control.
Iron ready for steam ironing
Steam is produced as soon as the iron is held horizontally and variable steam lever is moved from the min position.
Steam off
Steam generation can be interrupted by standing the iron on its heel or sliding the variable steam control fully to the left (min.)
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
(Depending on model)
In order to produce steam, all irons require a high tempera- ture. If the soleplate is not hot enough some of the water will not turn to steam and can spit or leak from soleplate. The anti- drip system automatically reduces the volume of steam when ironing at low temperatures to prevent dripping.
5SPRAY SETTING

MEnsure there is water in the tank.
MMoistening the fabric with the spray will make wrinkle removal easier. This is very useful when the three dot setting is too hot for the material being ironed.
MPress the spray button down slowly for a jet or quickly for a mist.
MDo not spray silk, etc.
