water to steam through and activate
the steam chamber.

results and the noise produced by the
steaming will be steadier after the
water reservoir has been filled and
drained three times.
Ironing with Steam
To steam iron, set the temperature
selector (Figure 1/N) to the required
fabric type and wait until the power
indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out - only
then set the steam selector (Figure 1/F)
to the desired position (Figure 4/B). You
will find which temperature setting
(fabric type) matches which steam set-
ting in the ironing table. As soon as the
steam iron is held horizontally steam
begins to form. When the steam iron is
set upright again the steam supply
stops automatically.
Spray Function (Figure 6/A)
The first time you use the appliance,
or if you have not used it for a long
time, you will need to press the spray
function button (Figure 1/H) several
times before water comes out of the
spray nozzle (Figure 1/D). You can also
use the spray function when dry iron-
ing.
Super Steam Jet Function
(Figure 6/B)
The super steam jet function is of
valuable assistance when ironing, for
example, creases, embroidery etc. You
can trigger the additional steam jet
both when steam ironing and when dry
ironing.

caled! Neither vinegar nor proprie-
tary brands of descaler must be
