ADVICE ON USE
Always place the boiler flat down on a stable
surface.
During ironing, the iron may be placed on the
Iron-rest on top of the boiler, or wherever it
proves to be convenient, due to the fact that it
is detachable. Fig 1.
Never rest the iron back on its heel (professional
iron model). Always lay it down on the mobile
Iron-Rest in a horizontal position.

WATER TO USE
• Press the boiler switch (1). The pilot light will
come on and the boiler will begin to produce
steam.
The boiler will be ready for ironing when the
pilot lamp (6) lights up (after about 6 or 7
minutes). Fig.4
Observations:
• If the boiler is filled with hot water then it will
be ready to operate sooner.
• The temperature of the sole plate and the
boiler are regulated automatically. Pilot lamps 6
and 11 come on and go off periodically. This is
normal.
• When indicator (7) lights up due to a lack of
water in the boiler, the boiler will have to be
refilled (see section on How to refill the boiler
during use).
ADJUSTING THE STEAM FLOW (Mod.
PL1382)
The steam flow setting can be adjusted to suit
the type of ironing. Turning the control knob to
the left reduces the steam flow, whereas
maximum steam flow can be achieved by
turning it to the right. (Fig. 6)
