Warning!
Do not release steam when the iron is standing on its grille rest (E).
The boiler is now automatically filled by a pump which produces a noise (vibration) lasting a few seconds every time it is
activated. A decrease in the steam output may occur soon after the pump starts operating: it is perfectly normal and after a
few seconds the steam will again be regular.
If the iron has not been used for a long time, it is advisable to keep it in a horizontal position and send a few shots of steam
to the floor in order to stabilize the jet before ironing.
