BURST OF STEAM
The burst of steam function is useful for ironing

To avoid water leakage from the steam openings,
press the burst of steam button (4) with an interval
no less than 4-5 sec.
VERTICAL STEAM
Vertical steam function can be used only at high
ironing temperatures (that is, when the tempera-
ture control knob (11) is set to «

Hold the iron vertically at the distance of 10-30 cm
from the clothes and press the burst of steam but-
ton (4) with an interval no less than 4-5 sec., steam
will be released from the openings of the iron sole-
plate (13) intensively.
