points to the "open padlock" symbol (B). It will lift automatically.
- Fill the tank up to the "MAX" line (C).

arrow points to the "closed padlock" symbol (B).
Setting the temperature
- Set the thermostat control (D) referring to the table below.
- The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough (E).

Recommendations:
Fabrics and ironing temperatures:
• Your iron heats up quickly : so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low
temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,
• if you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on
before beginning to iron again,
• when ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate
fibre.
For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg
(inside the hem).
