The steam burst function provides an extra surge of steam to tackle stubborn creases.

• Press the 'Steam Burst' button (usually located on the handle) to release a powerful burst of steam.
• Allow a few seconds between bursts to ensure optimal steam generation.

The spray function allows you to dampen fabrics directly for easier ironing.

To maintain optimal performance, clean the soleplate regularly.
