Ironing tips
• Garments with embroidery, sequins, lace, etc., should be ironed on the lowest
temperature setting.
• For textiles made of mixed fibres (e.g. 40% cotton/60% synthetic fibre), choose
the temperature setting appropriate for the fibre with the lowest recommended
ironing temperature.
• If you are not sure what the material is made of, start by ironing an inconspicuous
part of the garment on the lowest temperature setting and increase the temperature
gradually.
• Never iron a garment which has sweat stains or other discolouration, the heat will
iron the stain into the fabric and it will be very difficult to remove.
• Ironing silk, wool and synthetic fibres can cause shiny patches to be formed.
To prevent this, iron such fabrics on the reverse side.
• Velvet can also form shiny patches when ironed. Iron in the direction of the pile/nap
to avoid such damage. Avoid pressing the iron down onto the fabric.
• Washing more clothes at the same time causes more wrinkles to form.
• Higher speed spin cycles also causes more wrinkles to form.
• Many types of fabric are easier to iron before they are completely dry. Silk, for
example should always be steam-ironed.
Care advice
Cleaning the housing
•
Note:
Unplug the iron from the wall socket before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior with a moist, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents
or solvents.
•
Note:
Avoid scratching the soleplate – do not slide it over metal items such as
buttons or zips.
After use
Warning:
The iron becomes very hot directly after use. Remember to let it cool down
completely before putting it away for storage.
1. Unplug the mains lead from the wall socket.
2. Empty the water tank by turning the iron upside down whilst carefully using a back
and forth motion to allow any excess water to drip from the tank. Press the spray
button a few times to ensure the tank is completely empty.
3. Store the iron in a dry, room temperature environment.
