re the clothing article may be ironed.

clean base.
Drip-Stop Function
In conventional steam irons, it is possible that at too
low ironing temperature water begins to trickle from
the gilding sole
r
. However, this iron possesses a
new technical feature, namely the DRIP-STOP func-
tion, to switch off steam. The iron automatically swit-
ches off the steam ejection at low temperatures. A
“CLICK” noise is heard when this happens.
Using the temperature rotary controller
a
, set the
required temperature.
Steam generation will continue as soon as this
temperature level is reached.
