No drip system
Your iron is fitted with a no drip
system which is designed to
prevent water escaping from the
soleplate when the iron is too
cold.
During use, the no drip system
may emit a loud click,
particularly during heat-up or
whilst cooling down. This is
perfectly normal and indicates
that the system is functioning
correctly.
Auto shut-off
Your iron is fitted with the auto
shut-off function, it will
automatically shut down after a
set period. The ‘safety switch
off’ L.E.D. will flash on the
function panel.
If the iron is left unattended in
the horizontal position, it will
shut down after 1 minute.
If it is left in the vertical position,
it will shut down after 8 minutes.
To reactivate the iron, gently
shake it and wait for the iron to
heat-up as normal.
Life long anti-scale
system
The life long anti-scale system
reduces scale deposits and
helps prolong the life of the iron.
