Integrated anti-scale system
Your iron is equipped with an integrated anti-scale system . This system will help to pro-
vide:
•
a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,
•
lasting performance from your appliance.
Anti-drip function
•
If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam because of the
anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water leaking from the soleplate.
•
In order to obtain steam again, put your iron back on its base.

let it cool down before

delicate fabrics.

horizontal position.
Make sure that there
is water in the tank
