Best practice shirt ironing
Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cuff links and
sleeves. Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back to
prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing
the time-consuming parts.
Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and
work from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over
and repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a
more crisp finish.
Buttons:
Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more
effective and faster ironing.
Auto-off mode (specific types only)
- To save energy, the steam generator switches off
automatically when it has not been used for 10 minutes.
- To reactivate the steam generator, press the on/off button.
The steam generator starts to heat up again.
Cleaning and maintenance
To properly maintain your appliance, clean the iron and the
steam generator regularly.
1 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth.
2 To easily and effectively remove stains, let the soleplate
heat up and move the iron over a moist cloth.
Tip: Clean the soleplate regularly to ensure smooth gliding.
IMPORTANT - DESCALING
It is very important to perform the descaling procedure
as soon as the EASY DE-CALC light starts to flash.
The EASY DE-CALC light flashes after about a month or 10
ironing sessions to indicate that the steam generator needs
to be descaled. Perform the following descaling procedure
before you use the steam generator again.
