IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDE:

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 ma-
terials 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 sole-
plate 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, zip-
pers, etc.) as these may impair performance.
Filling the Iron
DO NOT use water containing softeners, perfumes or addi-
tives as these may damage the iron irreparably.
Open the water filler. Fill carefully with fresh water using the
supplied filler cup. Do not fill the iron above the MAX mark indi-
cated on the side of the iron.
If you live in a hard water area, it is advisable to use distilled or
de-mineralised water.
Operation
Ensure the mains socket is switched off at the wall and
•
the Steam Control is OFF (see previous page).
Fill the iron with water as described above.
•
Place the iron on its heel on the ironing board rest and
•
connect the power cord to the wall socket.
Switch on the power. The pilot light will illuminate.
•
Select the correct temperature. Turn clockwise to increase
•
and anticlockwise to reduce temperature
