Tips:
•
Sort your laundry before ironing. The iron heats up faster than it cools down.
Therefore, start with items that need to be ironed on the lowest temperature.
•
If the fabric is composed of different types of thread, always set the tempera-
ture to the fibre that requires the lowest temperature.
•
If you do not know the composition of the fabric for any item, try out the iron
first on a part of the item that cannot be seen. Begin with the lowest tempera-
ture and increase it gradually until you have found the ideal temperature.
•
To avoid a shine on pure wool, silk and artificial threads, iron them on the
back.
•
With velvet, lay a cloth over the fabric and iron it in one direction, applying only
slight pressure. Keep the iron moving constantly.
Setting the iron down
The iron rest on the base station is heat-resistant and protects the soleplate.
Please note the following advice:
•
Always place the iron on the iron rest on the base station.
•
To avoid scratching the soleplate, do not place the iron on metal surfaces.
•
Water may collect on the iron rest on the base station if the iron is used for an
extended period. Wipe it off from time to time.
DANGER
- risk of fatal electric shock
Do not direct the steam at electrical devices or wall sockets.
Press the steam release button to switch off the steaming function
before placing the iron on the iron rest on the base station.
