Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article.
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles
requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres.
If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, you must always select the lowest ironing
temperature to iron the composition of those fibres.
Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed on the inner side.
To prevent staining do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.
Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light
pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving at any given moment.
Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set in a steam position. Preferably
set steam button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth as a mat.
Note: when ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you
should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
Self cleaning:
Set the temperature control to the maximum position, press the self clean button for about 1
minute, steam will be emitted to clean the steam chamber. Use this function once every two
weeks or so.
Limescale:
If you live in a particularly hard water area, we recommend using bottled or distilled water.
Limescale will severely reduce the working life of your iron!
After ironing
Disconnect power supply and empty the water left in water tank. Reconnect the power supply
and disconnect after indicator light goes off, this dries the soleplate.
Let the iron completely cool down, then wipe flakes and any other deposits on the soleplate
with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner. Clean the upper part of iron with a damp
cloth. Always store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the
soleplate.
