Dry ironing
1.
Set the chosen temperature with the temperature control dial.
The
temperature
indicator light on the iron comes on.
It goes off when the iron reaches the set temperature.
The
temperature
indicator light will come on again when the iron starts to
heat up again.
2. Iron the laundry without pressing the steam release button.
Steam ironing
• Occasional drips of condensed water may come out of the vents in the
soleplate:
... the first time the iron heats up,
... the first time steam is released,
... if the temperature control dial is not set to at least
••
,
... if the steam ironing function has not been used for an extended
period during ironing.
This is normal and no cause for concern. Briefly iron an old piece of
cotton or similar fabric with the steam function switched on until
condensed water stops coming out.
• When you are just starting to iron with steam, have just refilled the tank
or have taken a longer break from ironing, it will take slightly longer
before steam comes out of the soleplate.
Let the steam escape for a moment before directing the jet of steam
onto the fabric. This will produce a stable jet of steam.
WARNING
- risk of scalding and burns
• The discharging steam is extremely hot! Touching the hot soleplate
and the discharging steam causes burns and scalds.
• Never iron garments whilst they are being worn!
• Never point the ironing plate at people or animals. This is particularly
important when ironing with steam.
