TT
(C) a few times, you can moisten the
article to be ironed at any selected temperature (fig. 6). Make sure there
is enough water in the water reservoir.
Steam-ironing
• As the temperature control dial (A) and the table indicate, steam-ironing
is only possible at higher ironing temperatures:
22
to
33
for a little steam.
33
to MAX for a lot of steam.
• If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip from the soleplate
of the iron. This may cause stains. The HI 424, HI 434 and HI 444 irons
have been equipped with a ‘Drip Stop’ steam shut-off system, which
will automatically stop the iron from steaming if the selected
temperature is too low. When this happens, you may hear a ‘click’.
Now set the temperature control dial (A) to the recommended setting.
The steaming will start again as soon as the iron has reached the
appropriate (higher) temperature.
• Make sure there is enough water in the water reservoir (J).
- Put the iron on its heel.
- Set the temperature control dial (A) to one of the settings in the ‘steam
area’ (
22
to MAX) (fig. 7).
- Put the mains plug into the socket.
- As soon as the orange temperature pilot light (H) has gone out and then
comes on again you can start ironing.
Type HI 444: the iron is ready to be used as soon as the orange pilot
light (P) has gone out and then comes on again.
- Set the steam control dial (B) to the desired position (fig. 8).
