19 Take care not to scratch the soleplate avoid buttons, zips, etc. 20 The iron has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this happens, the iron will stop working, and must be returned for repair. [. . . ] 3
reducing temperature
18 This takes a bit longer, as the iron has to lose the heat it has built up, so be patient. It's best to organise your ironing so that you don't need to reduce the temperature. 19 When steam ironing, you must set the temperature control at S or higher. 20 If you don't, you'll get water on your clothes, not steam. 21 Turn the steam control to the setting you want, S = no steam, ~ = medium steam, # = high steam (#3). 23 This works with dry or steam ironing, as long as there's water in the reservoir. 27 Press the * button you may have to press it 2 or 3 times to pump water through the system.

vertical steaming
37 Remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains, and furnishing fabrics. 38 Check that there's adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may build up, causing mildew. 39 Check that there's nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam. 44 Press the # button (you're using the "shot of steam" function vertically). 45 You may have to press it 2 or 3 times to pump water through the system. 46 Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.
after use
47 Turn the temperature control to ·, turn the steam control to S. 50 Hold the iron over a sink, turn it upside down, and drain the water from the reservoir. 53 When it's cold, wipe off any moisture, and close the water inlet cover. 54 Store the iron on its heel, to avoid corrosion and damage to the soleplate.
