18 Don't use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions. 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. [. . . ] Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you want next to the 5 mark (#3). When the iron reaches the temperature you set, the indicator light will go off. It'll then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature. 3

reducing temperature
18 Reducing the temperature takes a bit longer, as the element 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 ("preparation" page 3, point 2). 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 Move the steam control to the setting you want, S = no steam, # = high steam (#3). 23 This works with dry or steam ironing, as long as there's water in the reservoir. 28 You may have to press it 2 or 3 times to pump water through the system.

dry ironing
36 If you're going to be dry ironing for 20 minutes or more, empty the reservoir first, to avoid spontaneous bursts of steam. 38 Wait till the indicator light goes out, then start ironing.
vertical steaming
39 Remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains, and furnishing fabrics. 40 Check that there's adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may build up, causing mildew. 41 Check that there's nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam. 46 Press the S button (you're using the "shot of steam" function vertically). 47 You may have to press it 2 or 3 times to pump water through the system. 48 Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.
after use
49 Turn the temperature control to ·, move the steam control to S. [. . . ] To replace the plug, fit the green/yellow wire to E or E, the blue wire to N, and the brown wire to L. Don't use a non-rewireable plug unless the fuse cover is in place. If you remove the plug, dispose of it.
