4. Allow the iron to heat until the power indicator light turns off.
5. Begin ironing.

Dry Ironing

1. Ensure the water tank is empty or set the steam/dry selector to "Dry".
2. Set the temperature control dial to the desired fabric setting.
3. Allow the iron to heat until the power indicator light turns off.
4. Begin ironing.

Spray and Burst of Steam Functions
