If water runs out during ironing, unplug the
iron, then the water can be topped up
without waiting for the iron to cool down.
x
When the iron does not spray water, to
eliminate any possible blocking, close the
spray hole with your finger and press on
the spray button (8) several times.
x
Iron your garments which require a low
temperature first and then those requiring
high temperatures. If the temperature is
reduced when the appliance has a high
temperature setting, it might be necessary
to wait for 3 to 4 minutes for the heat to
come down to the set level.
WARNING:
Never iron on metal
parts, such as zippers, rivets, or
metal buttons as they could
damage the base plate of the
iron. Always iron around these
metal parts.
Ironing tips
x
In order to learn the appropriate ironing
temperature to be used for the garment,
always read the care label on your
garment before setting the temperature.
x
As the iron gets warmer in a shorter time
compared to the time elapsing to cool it
down, synthetics, silks and other fabrics
alike should be ironed at the beginning by
using lower temperature settings.
x
If the garment is made of a blend of
different fabrics, always start ironing by
using the lowest temperature setting first.
x
Silk and other textiles which tend to
brighten must be ironed on the reverse
side. Velvets and other lustrous fabrics
must be ironed under little pressure and in
one direction only. Always keep the iron
moving during ironing.
x
Do not use the steam function when
ironing colored silk clothes. This may
cause stains.
x
Garments made of 100% pure wool can be
ironed using steam. Preferably set the
temperature control button to the MAX
setting and lay a dry towel between the
garment and the iron.
x
Ironing wool garments can cause them to
‘shine’. It is therefore recommended to iron
such garments inside out.
