if left vertically or in 30 seconds if left on
its soleplate or tipped over.

iron on again, move the iron or gently
shake it.
Wait until iron is fully reheated before use.
STEAM IRONING

completely to the left.
᭿ Hold the appliance upright so that the
water filling inlet is horizontal.
᭿ Fill the iron with tap water to the
maximum level mark (see water usage

unplug the iron and repeat above steps.

SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE
To avoid damage to clothes from dust or dirt that may collect in the
iron, we recommend that for the first use or after the iron has been
stored for some time that you first iron an old cloth, testing both the
steam and burst of steam feature.
