laundry.

The iron can be held vertically for steaming curtains,

dresses, etc.

selected range ( /MAX).

As soon as the orange heating indicator light of the

iron goes out, ironing can be started.

“steam” switch backwards until it engages. Steam

flows out continuously. To release, push the lock

forward.

cess, direct the blast of steam onto a cloth until the

steam flows evenly.
