water drips from the iron sole e at low temperatures.
This iron however possesses a new equipment charac-
teristic, the DRIP-STOP function. At low temperatures
the iron automatically switches off the steam-blast
function. When this happens, a “CLICK” is to be
heard. You must then re-set a suitable temperature

is reached, steam production is continued.
