(H) will go out. This indicates that the soleplate

heated up and that steam is ready.
You can now start steam ironing.

keep the steam
activator (G) pressed-
in (fig. 10).

steam tank is being heated-up to the required
temperature. You can continue ironing.

clothing (jackets,
woman's suits, coats)
can be steamed by
holding the iron in a
vertical position (fig. 11).
