•
There may be water residue in the tank, this is
normal, as the iron has undergone factory qual-
ity control.

WATER SELECTION
You can use tap water to fill the water tank (10). If tap

Ironing temperature table
ICONS FABRIC TYPE (TEMPERATURE)
do not iron
• synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester (low
temperature)
•• silk/wool (medium temperature)
••• cotton/linen (high temperature)
•
This table is only valid for smooth materials.
Fabrics of other types (crimped, raised, etc.) are
best ironed at low temperature.
•
First sort items by ironing temperature: synthetics
to synthetics, wool to wool, cotton to cotton etc.
•
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. For
this reason, it is recommended to iron the items
which require low temperature first (for instance,
synthetic fabrics). After that, start ironing at higher
