ATTENTION!
If the steam is not constantly supplied during
operation, check whether the temperature con-
trol knob (11) is set properly and there is water in
the water tank (10).
BURST OF STEAM
The burst of steam function is useful for ironing
folds and can only be used at high ironing temper-
atures (when the temperature control knob (11) is
set to the position «
••• », « МАХ »).
•
When pressing the burst of steam button (4)
steam will go out of the iron soleplate more
intensively.
Note:
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 «
••• » or « MAX »).
Hold the iron vertically at the distance of 10-30 cm
from the clothes and press the burst of steam
button (4) with an interval no less than 4-5 sec.,
steam will be released from the openings of the
iron soleplate (13) intensively.
