Steam ironing is possible only if the temperature
control knob (7) is set to the position «•••» or

Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (10).

Set the control knob (7) to the required ironing
temperature in the steam operation zone, the

Once the soleplate (11) reaches the set tem-
perature value, the pilot lamp (6) will go out,
you can start ironing.
• Set the necessary steam intensity with the
continuous steam supply knob (3).
•
In the continuous steam supply mode, steam
will be released from the openings of the sole-
plate (11) only if the iron is in horizontal posi-
tion. To stop the steam supply, put the iron
vertically or set the knob (3) to the position
«0» (steam supply is off).

control knob (7) to the «MIN» position, and
the continuous steam supply knob (3) to the

BURST OF STEAM
The burst of steam function is useful for ironing
folds and can only be used at high ironing tem-
peratures (when the temperature control knob
(7) is set to «MAX» position).
When the burst of steam button (4) is pressed,
steam will go out of the soleplate (11) openings
intensively.

until it cools down completely, then open the
water inlet lid (2), turn over the iron and drain
the remaining water.
