Thank you for choosing an Electrolux product. In order to ensure the best results, always use original Electrolux
accessories and spare parts. They have been designed especially for your product. This product is designed with
the environment in mind. All plastic parts are marked for recycling purposes.
It may be possible that your steam iron does not produce steam immediately after filling it with water. The reason for
this is that air trapped in the inner system can delay this function a few seconds. Please be patient and try it again by
pressing the steam on/off button. For your convenience the steam will be produced after you release the steam on/
off button for a few seconds and it is not necessary to press the button all the time. Find out your rhythm for the best
steaming result.
