Drip stop (specic types only)

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically

stops producing steam when the temperature is too low, to prevent

water from dripping out of the soleplate. When this happens you may

hear a sound.

Automatic shut-off function (specic types only)

The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it

has not been moved for a while.

, Theredauto-offindicationofthetemperaturelightashesto

indicate that the iron has been switched off by the automatic

shut-off function (Fig. 6).

To let the iron heat up again:

1 Pick up the iron or move it slightly

, The red auto-off indication goes out.

, If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped below the set

ironing temperature, the amber temperature light goes on.

2 If the amber temperature light goes on after you have moved the

iron, wait for it to go out before you start ironing.

Note: If the amber temperature light does not go on after you move the iron,

the soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready for use.
