The steam lock allows you to steam iron non-stop without having to press
the steam activator continuously.
- When you slide the steam lock forwards, the iron produces steam
continuously. To stop steaming, slide the steam lock backwards.
- When the steam lock is deactivated, the iron only produces steam
when you press the steam trigger.
Note: Release the steam lock when you put the iron on its heel or on the iron
stand. This prevents that hot steam escapes from the iron or that the iron
stand gets wet.
