SUGGESTIONS
Check that on the tissue there is a label with directions for ironing and compare the symbol on the label with the following
table. If there is no label with instructions, but you know the type of material, follow the instructions below. Note that the table
refers to fabrics not treated with sizing agents or similar products; if they have been, you can also iron at a lower temperature.
When you change the temperature by turning the thermostat knob (J), the indicator light (H) will flash indicating that the
temperature has not yet been reached. Wait that the indicator light (H) turns off before dispensing steam. Divide the articles
to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is advisable to start with those fabrics which require
lower temperatures and move on to those which require progressively higher temperatures.
If the material is made up of more than one type of fibre, always set the temperature to the fibre which requires less heat.
For example, if the material is made up of 70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to position (
•
) (see
table) without steam, that is, the temperature for synthetic fabrics.

The mark on the label means do not iron
If you do not know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a part of the article which will not be seen. Do a test
ironing on this part to establish the appropriate temperature (always start with a relatively low temperature and work up until
the ideal temperature is reached). Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one of the steam positions.
To avoid pure wool, silk and synthetic materials becoming shiny, it makes good sense to iron them on the reverse side. For
other materials, especially velvet, which can become shiny very easily, cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction only,
using light pressure. The iron must be kept constantly moving over the fabric.
VERTICAL IRONING
This special ironing procedure serves to remove creases from curtains, fabrics, etc. Set the ironing temperature by turning
the adjustment knob (J) past the symbol (
•••
). When the temperature control lamp (H) turns off, move the steam adjust-
ment selector (C) to the desired position. Put the curtain or fabric in the position you want to iron it vertically and press the
steam button.
Warning!
Do not iron fabrics held by other people.
AFTER IRONING
Warning!
Let the iron cool down before emptying the tank: danger of burns.
Turn the temperature control knob (J) to “min”. unplug it from the electric outlet.
Put the iron on its iron rest and let it cool. Empty the tank: open the water filling cover (B), reverse the iron and let the water
drain (Fig. 12). Wrap the power cord around the iron without pulling it too tight (Fig. 13). Put the appliance back on top of a
stable surface and out of the reach of children.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Warning!
Make sure the iron is unplugged from the supply mains and has completely cooled down before cleaning it.
