Ironing With Steam; Ironing Without Steam - Miele B 2312 Operating Instructions Manual

Ironing with steam

Bursts of steam are activated by
pressing the * button.
Pressing the * button also triggers the
operation of the fan.
After a brief run-on time, the fan stops if
the steam function is not used.
To activate short bursts of steam:
^ Press the * button briefly and then
release it.
To activate continuous steam:
^ Press the * button and, at the same
time, push back the sliding switch b
located on on the button.
You can then release the * button.
Steam will be continuously released.
^ To disengage the * button, push the
sliding switch b forwards. This will
stop the release of steam.
The * button must be unlocked
before resting the iron.
^ If the indicator light k illuminates, fill
the water container (see 'Filling the
water container').
If you are using the steam function for a
long period of time, ensure there is
sufficient ventilation in the room as the
moisture level in the room may increase
dramatically.
Condensate may form in the ironing
board if the steam function is used for a
long time while ironing.
If you notice any condensate under the
ironing board, soak it up with a towel.
Some flooring can be damaged by
drops of water.
During pauses in ironing, condensate
can build up in the steam hose, which
is expelled when the steam button is
pressed again. To prevent the textiles
from becoming too damp, the first burst
of steam after a pause should not be
directed onto the textiles themselves.

Ironing without steam

If you wish to iron without steam,
remove the water container. This stops
the steam generator heating up and
therefore reduces your energy
consumption.
