- After a few minutes, pilot light "Iron heating up"
(H) will go out. This indicates that the soleplate

heated up and that steam is ready.
You can now start steam ironing.
- While steam-ironing
keep the steam
activator (G) pressed-
in (fig. 10).
• During steam-ironing
the two pilot lights (C)
and (H) will come on
from time to time.

either the iron or the
steam tank is being heated-up to the required
temperature. You can continue ironing.

Hanging curtains and
clothing (jackets,
woman's suits, coats)
can be steamed by
holding the iron in a
vertical position (fig. 11).
