vERTICAL IRONING
You can use the jet of continuous steam for ironing hanging fabrics. This special ironing procedure serves to remove crea-
ses from curtains, fabrics, etc...; Turn the steam adjustment knob (V) to MAX. Set the ironing temperature by turning the
adjustment knob (M) past the symbol (
•••
). 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.
DRy IRONING
To iron ‘dry’, or without steam, after connecting the appliance to the power supply, just switch on the iron (button B) and adjust
the thermostat (M) to the required temperature. These operations must be performed without any water inside the boiler.
SUGGESTIONS
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.
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 tempera-
ture 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 be-
coming 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 pres-
sure. The iron must be kept constantly moving over
the fabric.
AFTER IRONING
Turn the boiler off by pressing the switch (B). The appliance is still energized when plugged in and it is possible to eliminate
the pressure remaining in the boiler by pressing the steam button (o). Turn the iron off by pressing the switch (B). remove
the power cable from the socket-outlet. Wait a few minutes so the appliance cools down. let the iron cool down on its stand,
taking care not to touch the power cables and connection with the hot parts of the appliance. Afterwards empty the boiler
completely so as to prevent water from stagnating in the boiler, forming lime deposit.
put the appliance back on top of a stable surface and out of the reach of children.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Warning!
Before cleaning, always disconnect the plug from the power point and allow the iron to cool down on its stand grille (E).
Warning!
never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
Warning!
Check the state of the power cable of your iron on a regular basis before using it, and if it is damaged, take it to the
service centre closest to you to have it replaced only by specialised personnel.
