fabrics, that must not be ironed
We recommend that fabrics with unusual surface treatments (e.g. decorations, embroidery, prints, etc.)
are ironed at the lowest temperature.
If it is a compound fabric (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetic), set the regulator according to the fabric
requiring the lower temperature.
If you do not know the composition of the fabric, set the temperature by carrying out a test on the least
visible part of the garment. Start with the lowest temperature and slowly turn it up until you achieve
the ideal temperature.
Never iron places with sweat stains etc. the heat from the iron will fi x the stains to the fabric making it
impossible to remove them.
The removal of grease is more effective if you use a dry iron at medium temperature: excessive heat will
burn it and there is a risk that yellow stains will be created.
To prevent "shiny" stains forming on silk, wool or synthetics, iron them turned over from the inside.
To prevent "shiny" stains forming on velvet, iron it in one direction (along the fi bre) and do not press
down on the iron.
The more laundry you put into the washing machine the more the laundry will be crinkled. Laundry
becomes more crinkled when spinning at high speeds.
For many types of fabrics it is easier to iron them if they are not fully dry. E.g. silk should always be ironed
damp.
Set the ironing temperature with the temperature regulator according to the type of fabric (pic 1). When
the indicator light is on it signals the heating up of the ironing surface. When the indicator light turns off
it means that the required temperature has been achieved and you may begin ironing.
While ironing the plate temperature indicator light will sometimes turn on, indicating the maintenance
of the set temperature. If after completing the ironing at a high temperature you lower the temperature
using the regulator, do not iron, until the iron surface temperature indicator light turns on again.
Note:
Because cooling down takes longer than heating up, we recommend that fabrics requiring lower
temperatures are ironed fi rst. This limits delays and eliminates the risk of burning through fabrics.
IRONING AND THE STEAM FUNCTION
Ironing without steam
When ironing without steam set the steam regulator to "min" and set the temperature according to
the fabric type.
Ironing with steam
To iron with steam, temperature should be set to the "••" position.
For the maximum steam amount we recommend that the temperature is set to "•••".
