Twin element technology
Your steam iron contains two ele-
ments, one in the soleplate (Fig.
2/a) and another in the steam
chamber (Fig. 2/b).This technol-
ogy allows having steam perform-
ance even on one dot temperature
setting • (synth). Steam generation
is independent of the soleplate
temperature. Unlike conventional
single element irons, the soleplate
temperature stays constant, as it is
unaffected by the continual inflow
of water from the steam valve and
steam jet pump.
Before first use
0 Remove any adhesive stickers,
plastic covers or cardboard slee-
ves from the soleplate.
0 Ensure that all adhesive is remo-
ved by rubbing the soleplate with a
cloth dampened with methylated
spirits.
0 Fill the water tank (see following
chapter) and empty the water. This
will rinse out any foreign particles
remaining from the manufacturing
process.
When turned on for the first time,
