3 Starting Up
The professional steam iron supplied with the appliance may also be
connected to the Vapormate M 388 steam cleaner as an alternative to
the steam hose. Stand the steam iron on the iron rest supplied, flip the
black cover flap (1) down and push the steam connector on the end of
the steam iron hose (2) firmly nose down into the steam socket on the
front of the Vapormate M 388 until it clicks into place (Fig. 17).
As the iron may be used both
vertically and horizontally, it is
perfectly suited to steam cleaning
curtains and items of clothing (see
page 14, Fig. 24).
Warning! The steam iron must be set down on a heat-resistant rest
when the steam cleaner is switched on.
Press in both release buttons on the left and right of the steam connector
and pull it out of the steam socket to unplug the steam iron.

Before using the steam iron
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight amount
of smoke coming from the appliance. This is normal and soon stops.
With initial use of the iron and after a lengthy period of storage, it
should be tested out on an old piece of fabric to determine whether or
not the ironing surface and the water container are clean.
