Steam ironing

Steam ironing can be used in the temperature ranges ••• and MAX. Do not use other temperature levels due to the fact that water can escape from the iron base.

Fill water into the water tank as described below in Before First Use. For reliable functioning of the steam iron, the water tank should be filled with enough water at all times.

Select the desired amount of steam with the steam selection switch. In the position Manual background the amount of steam is the highest. Always keep the iron in a horizontal position.

For an extra blast of steam press the steam/spray button in the Manual background position. The steaming function should be used at the highest

temperature level only. To avoid dripping water from the iron base, wait at least 1 minute between every blast of steam.

Warning! The steaming temperature is very high. Do not use steam on apparel or fabrics while there are being worn by humans or pets.

Turning off the iron:
