Drops, bursts and a crossed drop on an iron's controls.
Also known as: Iron steam settings, Dry ironing symbol
An iron's controls use drop pictograms: one to three drops for steam rate, a larger drop for a burst, and a crossed drop for dry ironing. The crossed drop must be selected for fabrics whose care label forbids steam, which is the connection between the appliance and the garment.
Set the steam rate, burst and dry modes, marked with one to three water drops and a crossed drop for no steam.
