Dry ironing:
- Put the dry / steam ironing button (F) into the dry position (Fig. 2).
-This position is for dry ironing (without steam).
Steam Ironing:
- Put the dry / steam ironing button (F) into the steam position (Fig. 3).
- It is possible to iron with steam whenever the deposit is
fi
lled with water and
the adequate temperature is selected.
Once you have
fi
nished using the appliance:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using the thermostat control.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains.
- Remove the water deposit.
- Clean the appliance.
Practical recommendations:
- Classify the garments into groups by ironing temperature. The appliance heats
up more quickly than it cools down. Therefore, to avoid accidents, minimise
energy consumption and optimise time, it is advisable to start off ironing items
that require lower temperatures and progress to those that need higher tem-
peratures.
- Pure wool fabrics (100%) can be ironed with the iron set to steam. Select
a high steam temperature and place a cotton cloth between the iron’s metal
surface and the garment.
Cleaning
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool before undertak-
ing any cleaning task.
- Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a few drops of washing-up liquid
and then dry.
- Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or base pH such as bleach, or
abrasive products, for cleaning the appliance.
- Never submerge the appliance in water or any other liquid or place it under
running water.
How to deal with lime scale incrustations:
- For the appliance to work correctly it should be kept free of lime scale or mag-
nesium incrustations caused by the use of hard water.
- To avoid this kind of problem it is advisable to use distilled water.
- However, if it is not possible to use the kind of water recommended above, you
should periodically remove the lime scale from the appliance:
- Every 6 weeks if the water is “very hard”.
- Every 12 weeks if the water is “hard”.
- Homemade solutions are not recommended in the descaling of this appliance,
such as the use of vinegar.
