that section), but the iron shall be held in a vertical position about 15 to 30 cm away
from the garment to be ironed.
Dry ironing
Switch the steam selector to position (closed). Set the temperature at the wanted
temperature and wait until the thermostat light goes out. The iron is now ready for
use.
If there is water in the tank, you can also use the spray function and the burst of
steam function (see special sections) when dry ironing, if this is required in order to
obtain a good result. Just make sure, when using burst of steam during dry ironing
that the temperature regulation has been set at this function.
Spray
Spray is used to dampen dry garments and difficult creases. Press the spray button all
the way down, and water particles will be sprayed on the garments for easier ironing
and a better result.
It can also be an advantage to use the spray function for delicate fabrics (synthetic
fabric) that are ironed at low temperatures and where you cannot use a specific burst
of steam.
Anti-drip system
The iron comprises an anti-drip system to prevent water from dripping on the clothes
during steam ironing, should the temperature of the soleplate be too low. The anti-drip
system may emit a loud ’click’, particularly when the iron is heating up and cooling
down. This is quite normal and does not mean that the iron is defective. If this ‘click’
is heard during ironing it indicates that the amount of steam is too important for the
chosen temperature. Either reduce the amount of steam or increase the temperature.
If, contrary to expectation, some water drops should occur, this does not mean that
the iron is defective, but it can indicate that the water tank is about to being empty
or that the iron needs descaling.
The anti-drip system will automatically switch off the steam if the temperature is too
low.
After use
When the ironing is done, put the steam selector in position . Disconnect from the
mains supply and empty the water tank by opening the filling inlet and turn the iron
upside down over a sink to let the water run out. Reconnect the appliance and set the
temperature at “MAX” for 1 to 2 minutes to let any remaining water evaporate. Now
disconnect from the mains supply and position the iron on its heel to let the soleplate
cool off.
