Ironing
Steam ironing requires high temperatures. The temperature level for steam ironing is
indicated in the temperature control knob.

ironing symbols.
During the heating-up proceed the indicator lamp will be on, the lamp will go out once
the required ironing temperature is reached.
Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate should be cleaned by passing it over an old,
clean cotton cloth, while using the steam jet
function; this helps to flush out any dirt
residues or lint particles trapped inside the openings in the soleplate.
The steam function can now be switched on and off using the steam selector.
For dry ironing, the water reservoir may be empty. Should there be water left in the re-
servoir, the steam jet function may also be used when dry-ironing at higher temperature
settings.
Place the steam iron upright on its base stand after use and remove the plug from the
wall socket.
CAUTION: the appliance will remain hot for several minutes after use. Wai until the
