Shot of steam
When you press the shot-of-steam button U (E), a powerful burst of
steam will be ejected from the soleplate (fig. 9). This function is very
useful, e.g. for removing stubborn creases.
The shot-of-steam function can only be used when the iron has been set
to a high temperature (settings
22
to MAX).
Vertical shot of steam
The shot-of-steam function can also be used when the iron is held in
vertical position (fig. 10). This is very useful if you want to remove creases
from hanging curtains, clothes etc. (settings
33
to MAX).
Ironing without steam
If you want to iron without steam, follow the same procedure as described
for steam-ironing, yet set the steam control dial to position O (= no
steam).
“Auto Stop” automatic safety shut-off
(Only for type HI 444)
If the iron is not moved for some time, the heating element is shut off
automatically. To indicate that the appliance has switched itself off, the
red auto-stop pilot light (O) will start to blink (fig. 11).
If the iron is in horizontal position, it will be shut off after 30 seconds.
If the iron is in vertical position, it will be shut off after 8 minutes.
• When you pick up the iron again, the red auto-stop pilot light (O) will go
out.
• The orange temperature pilot light (P) will go on, indicating that the iron
is heating up again.
• Wait for the orange temperature pilot light (P) to go out before you start
ironing again.
