To avoid overloads, do not plug any other
high-power appliance into the same
electrical outlet.
Suggestions before using the iron for the
first time
1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly
greased therefore the iron could give off a
little smoke when plugged in for the first
time. This will cease after a short while.
2. Before using the iron for the first time,
remove the plastic protector from the base (if
it has one) clean the base with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the base very clean and smooth. Do
not run it over metal objects (such as metal
parts of the ironing board, buttons, zips,
etc.).
4. Pure wool fibres (100% wool) can be
ironed with the appliance in the steam
position by preference, select a high steam
position and use a dry ironing cloth.
Selecting the temperature
After you plug in your iron, set the
temperature according to the type of fabric
by means of the temperature setting button.
When setting the temperature of your
appliance, consider the following:
1. Check the ironing instructions on the
garment to be ironed.
2. Fabrics that have a specific type of finish
(shiny, wrinkled, contrasts etc.) can be
ironed at the lowest temperatures.
3. If the fabric contains several kinds of
fibres, always select the temperature
applicable, if an article contains 60%
polyester and 40% cotton, you must always
choose the temperature corresponding to
polyester and without steam.
4. Classify the articles to be ironed according
to the most suitable ironing temperature:
wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc. as the
iron heats up as fast as it cools, start by
ironing the articles requiring the lowest
temperature such as those made of synthetic
fibres. Progress towards those that require
the highest temperatures.
5. Turn the temperature control until it is in
front of the appropriate signal according to
the following:
·
position for nylon and acetate
··
position for wool, silk or mixtures
···
position for cotton or linen (steam).
Read the care label on your
garment before setting the
temperature of the iron.
If you don’t know the fabric of
your garment, first iron an
invisible part of your garment and
determine a correct ironing
temperature for it.
In order to prevent bright stains
that may form on synthetic
fabrics such as silk, iron on the
reverse side of the fabric. To
prevent stain formation, do not
use the spray feature.

perfume, vinegar, laundry starch, lime
removers or any other products or
