USING THE IRON
Ironing Temperatures:
Check the ironing instructions attached to the article (they are
on a label showing a symbol of an iron). Always follow these
ironing instructions. The indications on the iron’s temperature
dial and the table below will help you.
If there are no ironing instructions but you know the fabric,
then use the table below. The table is valid only for the actual
materials and does not take account of any finish applied
to the fabric. Textiles to which a finish has been applied
(wrinkle relief, printed T shirts etc.) should be ironed at lower
temperatures.
If the fabric contains mixed fibres, select the lowest ironing
temperature of the composition, e.g. iron a 60% polyester
/40% cotton mix at the temperature indicated for polyester.
Do not iron
Synthetics. Set Iron to LOW ( • )
Wool, Silk. Set Iron to MEDIUM ( • • )
Cotton, Linen. Set Iron to HIGH ( • • • )
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Sort fabrics to be
ironed into groups according to temperature; wool with wool,
cotton with cotton, etc. Start by ironing articles requiring low
temperature settings and progress to higher ones.
Note: Do not iron garments that are dirty or stained. The iron’s
heat may set the stain.
Pure (100%) wool fabrics may be pressed with the iron set to a
steam position and the garment protected by a dry cloth.
Using the Iron:
Before using the iron:
Inspect the iron carefully. Check that the voltage marked on
the rating plate matches your mains voltage.
Remove any protective film from the soleplate. Polish the
soleplate lightly with a clean soft cloth to remove any
residues.
Important Note: Maintaining the finish of the iron’s soleplate
is essential. Keep the soleplate smooth: do not scratch it on
metal objects (e.g. the edge of the ironing board, buttons,
zippers, etc.) as these may impair performance.
Preliminaries
Unpack the iron carefully. If you dispose of the packaging, do
so having regard to any recycling regulations in your area.
The packaging contains:
One Tesco iron
•
One filler cup
•
If any item is missing or damaged please contact the Tesco
store where you purchased the item, or your nearest Tesco
store. Please have your receipt ready when you call.
Important Special Features of Your Iron
Non-stick soleplate:
The soleplate of the iron is coated with
a special material to make ironing much easier. To protect
the coating, do not use abrasives to clean the iron and avoid
running the iron over hard metal surfaces.
Filling the Iron:
DO NOT use water containing softeners, perfumes or
additives as these may damage the iron irreparably.
Unplug the iron from the mains.
•
Set the Steam control to OFF.
•
Open the water filler. Fill carefully with fresh water using
•
the supplied filler cup. Do not fill the iron above the MAX
mark indicated on the side of the iron.
Anti-Drip system:
This is designed to prevent water escaping
from the soleplate when the iron is cold. During use, the anti
drip system may emit a loud clicking sound, particularly when
heating up or cooling down. This is perfectly normal and
indicates that the system is functioning correctly.
Anti-Scale system:
The built-in anti-scale cartridge is designed
to reduce the build-up of lime scale which occurs during steam
ironing and will prolong the working life of your iron. The anti-
scale cartridge will not completely stop the natural process of
lime scale build-up so always empty the water after use and
self-clean the iron regularly (see last page).
