appliance adjusts the steam automatically depending on the temperature chosen.
Note: refer to the garment label for recommended temperature setting. Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.

which is normal. When there is no water in the water tank, the pump sound is louder. Fill up the water
tank with water when the water level drops below the minimum level.
Steam boost function
Press the steam trigger twice quickly to release a powerful boost of steam for 3 seconds )Fig. 7(.

Vertical ironing
Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles from a garment while
someone is wearing it (Fig. 8). Do not apply steam near your or someone else's hand.
