Turning off the steam iron
• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Empty the water tank and clean the ironing
sole q.
• Put the steam iron on the appliance base 0
after it has cooled down.
Drip-stop function
With conventional steam irons it can occur that water
drips from the ironing sole q at low temperatures. Ho-
wever, this iron possesses a new equipment characteri-
stic, the DRIP-STOP function. At low temperatures the
iron automatically switches off the steam-blast function.
When this happens, a "CLICK" is heard. You must then
select a suitable temperature using the thermostat 8. As
soon as this is reached, steam production continues.
Automatic switch-off
The iron is equipped with an automatic switch-off. This
stops the iron from heating up.
If the iron is standing on its ironing sole q and has not
been moved for approx. 30 seconds, acoustic warning
signals are heard and the automatic switch-off indicator
lamp 6 flashes. The iron will no longer be heated. To
deactivate the automatic switch-off, pick up the iron and
move it around a little. The automatic switch-off indicator
lamp 6 will go off and the iron will heat up again.
If the iron is standing on its base 0 and has not been
moved for approx. 8 minutes, acoustic warning signals
are heard and the automatic switch-off indicator lamp
6 flashes. The iron is no longer heated. To deactivate
the automatic switch-off, pick up the iron and move it
around a little. The automatic switch-off indicator lamp
6 will go off and the iron will heat up again.
Note:
The automatic switch-off is not a substitute for unplug-
ging the apparatus from the power supply! It is only in-
tended for reducing the risk of fire if the iron is acciden-
tally left on!
