How to use the iron
Temperature setting
Always follow the label and ironing instructions of the garment. The label
shows an iron with dots indicating the correct temperature. If the iron
symbol on the label is crossed, the garment cannot be ironed.
If there is no instruction as to the ironing temperature, start with the lowest
possible temperature and carefully make a test. Always start at a part that
will not be visible. In case of mixed kinds of fabrics, such as polyester/
cotton, always iron at a temperature corresponding to polyester - i.e. the
lowest temperature. You can use the following table as a guideline in case
of doubt as to the temperature.
• = Ironing at low temperature. For synthetic fabrics such as e.g. acrylic,
nylon, polyester etc. steam ironing is not possible at low temperatures.
Set the steam button at “ ”.
•• = Ironing at medium temperature. For e.g. wool, silk etc. steam ironing is
possible to a certain degree by setting the steam selector at the wanted
steam setting .
••• = Ironing at high temperature. For cotton and linen etc. steam ironing is
possible to a certain degree by setting the steam selector at the wanted
steam setting.
If the garment has prints, sequins etc. special care is required as such
materials may melt. Consequently, the above instructions are not valid
for such materials. We recommend that fabrics that have a tendency of
becoming shiny, are ironed on the reverse side. If ironed on the right side,
do it carefully and always keep the iron moving.
Filling with water
If you want to have steam, start by filling water direct from the tap.
If you use water other than tap water, the iron may be damaged and the
fabric may get black spots. Any damage to the fabric that indicates that
water other than tap water has been used will not be covered by the
warranty and possible use of other liquids can be ascertained by our service
workshop.
If you live in an area with very hard water (above 17 pH), you should clean
the steam chamber regularly in order to avoid lime deposits. Follow the self-
cleaning procedure described later in this instruction manual.
The iron is furthermore equipped with a built-in anti-lime filter (not
changeable), which has been designed to reduce the building-up of
limestone in the steam chamber and it therefore prolongs the lifetime of
the iron. The anti-lime filter will, however, not entirely prevent the natural
