Drip-stop function
With conventional steam irons it can occur that water
drips from the ironing sole qat low temperatures.
However, this iron possesses a new equipment cha-
racteristic, the DRIP-STOP function. At low tempera-
tures 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 qand has
not been moved for approx. 30 seconds, acoustic
warning signals are heard and the automatic switch-
off indicator lamp 6flashes. 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 6will go off
and the iron will heat up again.
If the iron is standing on its base 0and has not
been moved for approx. 8 minutes, acoustic warning
signals are heard and the automatic switch-off indi-
cator lamp 6flashes. 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 6will go off and the iron
will heat up again.
Note:
The automatic switch-off is not a substitute for un-
plugging the apparatus from the power supply! It is
only intended for reducing the risk of fire if the iron
is accidentally left on!
