Steam and boiling hot water will drain from the holes on the soleplate

Anti-Scale Feature 

The built-in anti-scale cartridge is designed to reduce the build-up of lime 
scale that occurs during steam ironing. This will prolong the working life of 
your iron.     
 
Note: The anti-scale cartridge will not completely stop the natural process of 
lime scale build-up. 
 

Anti-Drip Feature

 

 
1.

 

Automatic anti-drip system, which is designed to prevent 
water escaping from the soleplate when the iron is too 
cold. 

2.

 

During use, the anti-drip system may make a loud 
clicking sound, particularly during heating-up or whilst 
cooling down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is 
functioning correctly.
