DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section
“
steam ironing
”
, leaving the
steam selector (D) on position
“
0FF
”
.
Spray Function
Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button (E) slowly (for a
dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray)
[Fig. 6]
.
Warning:
for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using
the spray function (E), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To
avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.
CLEANING
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance
plug is not connected to the socket.
Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp
cloth or an unabrasive liquid detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.
HOW TO PUT IT AWAY
- Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket.
- Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
- Leave the iron to cool down completely.
- Roll up the power cord with the rewinder
- Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes
(sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the
temperature of the fibre requiring the lower temperature.
If you don
’
t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature
by testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase
it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes
the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.
The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat
scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased. This
also happens when the spin drying revolutions are very high.
Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
