∙ During the heating-up process the
indicator lamp will be on. The lamp will go
out once the required ironing temperature
is reached.
∙ Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate
should be cleaned by passing it over an
old, clean cotton cloth, while using the
steam jet function; this helps to fl ush
out any dirt residues or lint particles
trapped inside the openings in the
soleplate.
∙ The steam function can now be switched
on and off using the steam selector.
∙ For dry ironing, the water reservoir may
be empty. Should there be water left in
the reservoir, the steam jet function may
also be used when dry-ironing at higher
temperature settings.
∙ Place the steam iron upright on its base
stand after use and remove the plug from
the wall socket.
Steam jet
When the steam jet button ( ) is depressed,
an additional hot steam jet is emitted from
the soleplate. This function can be very
useful when removing stubborn creases.
The steam jet function may also be used
with the iron held vertically, to restore the
surface of fabrics.
For a suffi ciently strong steam jet, the
reservoir must be at least a quarter full.
