• How to refill the boiler during use.
Should it be necessary to refill the boiler,
then the following instructions should be
carried out carefully:
• Check, by pressing the iron's steam button
(8), that no more steam comes out.
• Set the boiler switch (1) to the OFF posi-
tion.
• Slowly unscrew cap (3) until all of the
residual steam that may be present has esca-
ped.
• Unplug the appliance
• Refill the boiler.
• Replace cap (3)
• Plug the appliance back in.
SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON
• Plug the appliance in. Fig. 4
• Press the boiler switch (1). The pilot light
will come on and the boiler will begin to pro-
duce steam.
The boiler will be ready for ironing when the
pilot lamp (6) lights up (after about 6 or 7
minutes). Fig.4
Observations:
• If the boiler is filled with hot water then it
will be ready to operate sooner.
• The temperature of the sole plate and the
boiler are regulated automatically. Pilot lamps
6 and 11 come on and go off periodically.
This is normal.
• When indicator (7) lights up due to a lack
of water in the boiler, the boiler will have to
be refilled (see section on How to refill the
boiler during use).
