appliance adjusts the steam automatically depending on the temperature chosen.
Note: refer to the garment label for recommended temperature setting. Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.

which is normal. When there is no water in the water tank, the pump sound is louder. Fill up the water
tank with water when the water level drops below the minimum level.

Vertical ironing
Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles from a garment while
