Drip-Stop Function

With conventional steam irons it can happen that water drips from the iron sole e at low temperatures. This iron however possesses a new equipment charac- teristic, the DRIP-STOP function. At low temperatures the iron automatically switches off the steam-blast function. When this happens, a “CLICK” is to be heard. You must then re-set a suitable temperature with the temperature controller 7. As soon as this is reached, steam production is continued.

Cleaning
