the procedure in chapter 'IMPORTANT-

This is normal. Hold the iron away from the
garment and press the steam trigger. Wait
until steam instead of water comes out of the
soleplate.
Replace the ironing board cover if the foam
material has worn out. We also advise you to
use a layer of felt material in the board cover
to prevent water droplets.
Switch off the appliance and wait 2 hours for
it to cool down. Unscrew and reattach the
knob to make sure it is tightened.
