goes out and when the green light
located on the control panel comes on
and remains on.

temperature of the iron, you can start
ironing immediately.

Iron temperature control setting:
Your iron is quick to heat up so start
with fabrics to be ironed at a low
temperature and finish with those which
need higher temperatures. Mixed fibre
fabrics: set the ironing temperature
to the setting for the most delicate
fabric. For delicate fabrics (•), press the
steam trigger (under the handle of the
iron) intermittently to avoid any water
droplets appearing with the steam. If
you set your thermostat to "min" , the
iron will not become hot.
When taking a break from ironing,
never place the iron on a metal rest
plate, which could damage the iron
rest plate of the unit. It is equipped
with non-slip pads and has been
designed to withstand high
temperatures.
5 • Vertical steam ironing
• Set the temperature of the iron to the max
position.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and
hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
