Ironing
✦
Steam ironing requires high temperatures. The temperature level for
steam ironing is indicated on the temperature control knob.
✦
After fi lling the reservoir with water, place the steam iron upright on its
base stand and insert the plug into the wall socket.
✦
Set the temperature control knob to the required ironing temperature as
indicated by the ironing symbols.

During the heating-up process the indicator lamp will be on. The lamp
will go out once the required ironing temperature is reached.

The steam jet function may also be used with the iron held vertically, to
remove creases or wrinkles from fabrics.
Using the Spray Nozzle
The laundry can be dampened by pressing the spray button. This will help to
smooth out diffi cult areas. The spray nozzle may be used at any temperature
level during dry or steam ironing.
