selector within the red section (d). Hold the iron with
activated steam function in vertical position and pass
over the material in up and down movements.
Caution: The steam is very hot. Never direct the steam
towards a person.
Filling the boiler
Remark: The steam boiler is equipped with a safety cap
(5) which can only be unscrewed after the pressure inside
the steam boiler has reduced to a minimum.
When the steam boiler is empty, the water low indicator
(6,h) will light up. To refill proceed as follows:
Turn off the switch for the steam function (7,h).
Press the steam control button (2) until you no longer
hear any steam escaping from the iron.
Open the safety cap (5) of the steam boiler.
Caution: The safety cap, the steam boiler and espe-
cially the iron stand are hot.
Notice: In case of too much pressure you can’t open
the safety cap of steam boiler (5). Wait a moment or
repeat the previous operation.

Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning or maintenance always make sure that
