Drip-Stop Function
With conventional steam irons it can happen that
water drips from the ironing sole
e
at low tempera-
tures. This iron however possesses a new equipment
characteristic, the DRIP-STOP function. At low tem-
peratures the iron automatically switches off the
steam-blast function. When this happens, a “CLICK”
is to be heard. You must then re-set a suitable tem-
perature with the temperature controller
7
. As soon
as this is reached, steam production is continued.
