using your iron
We recommend that you:
•
Start by ironing those items of laundry that require the lowest temperature (e.g.
synthetics). Finish by ironing fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures and
steam—such as cotton and linen.
• If you iron a fabric made of a blend of fibres set the temperature of your iron to the
most delicate fibre.
•
When using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the
soleplate cleaned more frequently.
•
Do not iron over sharp or hard objects such as buttons, studs or zippers as they will
scratch the soleplate of your iron.
Important
When you change the temperature setting of your iron from a high setting to a lower
one, the temperature will still be at the higher setting. You must allow your iron to cool
sufficiently before ironing at the lower setting. To ensure that your iron has reached the
lower temperature and is not too hot, wait until the temperature indicator symbol ( ) stops
flashing before ironing.
For example, you have been ironing using the LINEN setting and wish to change to the
WOOL setting:
1. Press the decrease temperature select button to select the WOOL setting. The
temperature indicator symbol will flash as your iron cools down.
2.
Wait until the temperature indicator symbol stops flashing. Your iron has now cooled
to the correct temperature.
Auto off function
ALWAYS disconnect your iron from the mains supply socket after use. NEVER
leave the iron unattended with the auto off function in operation.
The iron will shut off if it has not been used for 10 minutes when resting on its heel or
after 30 seconds with the iron resting on its soleplate. The AUTO OFF cursor will appear
flashing on the display and your iron will beep. This sequence will be repeated whilst the
iron is in auto shut-off mode. To restart the iron, gently move it until the AUTO OFF cursor
turns off.
