Water Inlet Door is closed to avoid spilling while in use.

remove wrinkles fr om hanging clothes, delicate garments and other fabrics. Hold the

iron in the upright position several inches away fr om the article.

ANTI-DRIP FEATURE

temperature is too low .

12 Steam cannot be produced if the soleplate is not hot enough. It may r esult in water

spitting or leaking from the soleplate. The anti-drip featur e reduces water dripping and

leaking when ironing at low temperatur es.

20 Repeat step 19 until the impurities and scale are washed away .

21 Empty any excess water from the tank. Don’t touch the hot surfaces, water , or steam

because injury may occur .
