  SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE

Set the temperature control dial according
to the type of fabric you are ironing.
Check the fabric's label for appropriate
setting.

synthetics (low temperature)

●●

silk, wool (medium temperature)

●●●

cotton, linen (high temperature)

To avoid an automatic switch off while the iron is heating up, always
keep the iron on its heel. Start at low temperature and graduate to
high temperature. For delicate fabrics we recommend carrying out a
test on an unobstrusive part of the garment (inner seam).

  SETTING VARIABLE STEAM CONTROL

Set the variable steam control to required
steam volume. Steam can only be produced
when the thermostat is in the red cotton/
linen zone. Allow iron to heat up (light goes
out) before activating the variable steam
control. Reduce or set variable steam to
min. when ironing at low temperatures to
avoid water leakage or spitting.

  Iron ready for steam ironing

Steam is produced as soon as the iron is held horizontally.

  Steam off

Steam generation can be interrupted by standing the iron on its heel
or sliding the variable steam control fully to the left.

  SPRAY SETTING

M

Ensure there is water in the tank.

M

Moistening the fabric with the spray will
make wrinkle removal easier.

M

Press the spray button down slowly for a
jet or quickly and strongly for a mist.

M

Do not spray silk, etc.
