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.
Energy saving
To save energy
x
Always use an appropriate temperature
setting. If you do not know the appropriate
temperature setting, start from the lowest
setting and increase the temperature until
the fabric is ironed well.
x
For best ironing results, try to use the
steam at intervals. Using steam
continuously will cause more surplus
humidity on your garments which may lead
to re-creasing of your garments.
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.
Preparation
Initial use
1. Remove all package materials, labels and
protective foil and dispose of them in
accordance with the applicable legal
regulations.
2. Please clean the outer parts of the
appliance as described in the section
"Cleaning and Maintenance".
3. Place the appliance on an even, stable,
dry and non-slip surface.
2
During first use, a light odor may
arise from the iron. This condition
will disappear after the first few
uses.
WARNING:
When your iron is
filled with excessive water, it may
overflow. To avoid this, when you
hold your iron horizontally, make
sure that the level of water in the
appliance does not exceed the
MAX. line.
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.
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.
