This is perfectly normal as it shows that
the iron is maintaining the heat setting you
have chosen.
It is always a good idea to begin with
cool fabrics and work up to higher settings.
An iron heats up quicker than it cools
down so you’ll save time and electricity.
Features of your iron
Temperature indicator light
The indicator light under the control
knob shows that the iron is warming up.
When the required temperature is reached
the light will go out and will cycle on-off
during operation.
Dry ironing
You can use your iron as a dry iron only.
Make sure the variable steam control ‹is
set to the ‘0’ symbol.
Any temperature setting may be used

feature may be used provided there is water
in the tank (see filling section). You do not
need to put any water in the tank when dry
ironing only.

button ¤and aim the
spray of water at
stubborn creases. You

Fill the iron with water as described in
‘Filling’, page 4 and insert the plug into the
