Operating the
Professional
Steam Iron
NOTE:
Place the iron on the
iron stand supplied or
stand the iron upright.
Do not aim the steam outlet at one point for too long. Loosen the dirt
by moving the steam jet backwards and forwards. The flow rate of the
steam emitted can be regulated by turning the steam controller and can
be adjusted to the level of dirtiness. Turn the steam controller clock-
wise for less steam, and anti-clockwise for more steam (Fig. 23).

Do not tip or tilt the appliance by more than 45° during use and
ensure that the appliance always stands on a firm base. One full tank is
enough for a maximum of 50 minutes use. Do not leave the machine
unsupervised whilst switched on and if necessary use the childproof
lock to secure the steam switch. To do this, press the triangular yellow
pin on the left-hand side of the steam gun in to the right.
Warning:
The housing and accessories become hot during operation! Allow
the appliance to cool down before changing the accessories. Never
open the tank cap whilst the steam cleaner is switched on as the
tank is under pressure!
Use an ironing board that is suitable for use with a steam iron. Steam
irons have a grid-like rest that allows steam to circulate. The steam iron
may be used to iron all types of fabrics. Set the required ironing tem-
perature on the temperature controller below the handle of the iron.
Caution:
Always pay attention to information found on the fabrics to be
ironed.
