Off Off
- To make the iron stop producing steam continuously, slide the steam
lock forwards. When the steam lock is in this position, the iron only
produces steam when the steam activator is pressed.
Note: Release the steam lock when you put the iron on its heel or on the iron
stand. This prevents that hot steam escapes from the iron or that the iron
stand gets wet.
vertical steaming
Never direct the steam at people.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position and press the steam activator to
steam iron hanging curtains and clothes (jackets, suits, coats).

ironing without steam

1 To iron without steam, simply start ironing without pressing the
steam activator.
tips
- When you steam iron woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. To
prevent this, use a dry pressing cloth or turn the article inside out and
iron the reverse side.
- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric
to prevent shiny patches.
- Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one
direction only (along with the nap) while you apply very little pressure.
- Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk. This could cause stains.
