BURST OF STEAM
The burst of steam function is useful for iron-
ing folds and can only be used at high iron-
ing temperatures (when the temperature control
knob (12) is set to «
MAX
» position).
When the burst of steam button (6) is pressed,
steam will go out of the soleplate (11) openings
intensively.
Notes: To avoid water leakage from the steam
openings, press the burst of steam button (6)
with 4-5 sec. intervals.
VERTICAL STEAMING
The vertical steam function can be used only at
high ironing temperatures (when the temperature
control knob (12) is set to the «
MAX
» position).
Hold the iron vertically at the distance of 10-30 cm
from the clothes and press the burst of steam but-
ton (6) with 4–5 second intervals, steam will be
released from the soleplate (11) intensively.
Important information
Vertical steaming is not recommended for syn-
thetic fabrics.
•
To avoid fabric melting, do not touch it with
the iron soleplate while steaming.
•
Never steam clothes on a person as tempera-
ture of the released steam is very high, use a
clothes hanger or a coat rack.
•
After you finish ironing, switch the iron off, wait
until it cools down completely, then open the
water inlet lid (2), turn over the iron and pour
out the remaining water.
AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF

To resume ironing set the iron from horizontal
position to vertical or vice versa, wait until the
