USEFUL TIPS
Selection of temperature settings
w
Before ironing, we recommend that you orga-
nize your clothes, into the types of material
and the recommended temperature settings.
w
We recommend that you start ironing, using
the lower temperature settings first: the appli-
ance gets hot quicker than it cools down.
w
When ironing articles made with combinations of fibers, start
with the temperature recommended for the most delicate ma-
terial first (for example, to iron a cloth made of cotton and
polyester select the temperature recommended for ironing
polyester first).
w
If the manufacturer’s label, which gives the recommended
temperature, is missing and the type of material is known,
follow the recommendations below.

If you do not know the fabric type, find a place on the article;
which will not be seen and test iron it to select the appropriate
temperature, start with the minimum setting.
Ironing of selected fabrics
w
Do not use the water spray button (7) while ironing silk ar-
ticles: drops of water leave spots on silk garments.
w
Wool, velour, velvet and similar pile fabrics must be ironed on
the inside.
w
To prevent shiny marks we recommend that you iron woolen
articles through a thin cotton cloth, set the steam control knob
into the maximum position.
