1. Bedampfen hängender Textilien. Die Vertikal-Dampfstoßfunktion eignet sich ideal zum Bedampfen von Vorhängen, Anzügen/Kostümen und empfindlichen Geweben. Hängen Sie das Wäschestück auf einen Kleiderbügel, halten Sie das Bügeleisen im Abstand von 10-20 cm und drücken Sie die Dampfstoßtaste.

2. Σιδέρωμα με ατμό αντικειμένων σε κάθετη θέση. Η λειτουργία πίδακα ατμού σε κάθετη θέση είναι ιδανική για σιδέρωμα με ατμό κουρτινών, κουστουμιών και ευαίσθητων υφασμάτων. Κρεμάστε το αντικείμενο σε μια κρεμάστρα, κρατήστε το σίδερο σε απόσταση 10-20 εκ. και πατήστε το κουμπί πίδακα ατμού.

3. Hangende artikelen stomen. De verticale stoomfunctie is ideaal voor het stomen van gordijnen, pakken en delicate stoffen. Hang het artikel op een hanger, houd het strijkijzer op een afstand van 10–20 cm en druk op de stoomknop.

4. Vaporisation d'articles suspendus. La fonction jet de vapeur vertical est idéale pour la vaporisation de rideaux, de costumes et de tissus délicats. Suspendez les articles sur un cintre, maintenez le fer à une distance de 10 à 20 cm et appuyez sur le bouton de jet de vapeur.

1. 3-stufige automatische Abschaltung. Wenn das Bügeleisen auf der Bügelsohle steht oder auf der Seite liegt und länger als 30 Sekunden nicht benutzt wird, schaltet es automatisch ab. Steht das Bügeleisen auf der Abstellfläche, erfolgt nach 8 Minuten die automatische Sicherheitsabschaltung.

2. Αυτόματη απενεργοποίηση με 3 τρόπους. Εάν έχετε αφήσει το σίδερο χωρίς επίβλεψη στην πλάκα ή στοι πλάι, τότε απενεργοποιείται μετά από 30 δευτερόλεπτα. Εάν έχετε αφήσει το σίδερο χωρίς επίβλεψη στο πέλμα, τότε απενεργοποιείται μετά από 8 λεπτά. Για να ενεργοποιηθεί ξανά, απλώς αρχίστε να σίδερώνετε.

3. Automatisch uitschakelen in 3 stappen. Als het strijkijzer onbeheerd wordt achtergelaten op de strijkzool of op de zijkant, wordt dit na 30 seconden uitgeschakeld. Als het strijkijzer onbeheerd op de voet wordt achtergelaten, wordt het na 8 minuten uitgeschakeld. Het strijkijzer wordt weer ingeschakeld, zodra u weer gaat strijken.

4. Trois critères d'extinction automatique. Si le fer est laissé immobile sur la semelle ou sur le côté, il s'éteint après 30 secondes. S'il est laissé immobile sur le talon, il s'éteint après 8 minutes. Pour le rallumer, il suffit de recommencer à repasser.
