USEFUL HINTS
• The original appearance and softness of fabrics
such as velvet or wool, or gloves, bags etc. can
be restored by passing the iron a short distance
away with the steam jet in operation.
• To remove the marks left by furniture and resto-
re carpets to new, allow the steam to penetrate
into the flattened pile and brush lightly.
• Do not rest or use the iron on zips, hooks, rings
etc to avoid scratching the plate.
• Keep the surface of the plate clean. To clean,
when cold, wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
The iron must never be treated with descaling
products.
• After use, always wait for the iron to cool down
before putting away.
Avoid touching the water tank while the iron is
hot.
• Store the iron in a dry place.
• It is not necessary to empty the tank after iro-
ning. However, the appliance should be drai-
ned of water if left unused for long periods.
• Separate clothes according to the recommen-
ded ironing temperature and begin ironing
with items requiring the lowest temperatures.
• Silk may be dry-pressed on the reverse.
• Wool, cotton and fine linen can either be
steam-ironed on the reverse or on the right
side, interposing a thin cloth between the iron
and the fabric to avoid “shine”.
Starched fabrics require greater moisture. Iron
whites and light colours on the right side and
dark colours on the reverse. Embroidery should
also be ironed on the reverse to make it stand
out.
• Linen can be steam-ironed with abundant
steam. Iron dark colours on the reverse to avoid
“shine”. Iron lapels on the right side to make
them stand out.
• Each time the iron is used (including for the first
time) or if you have not used the steam for
several minutes, press the steam discharge but-
ton several times away from the ironing board.
This will eliminate cold water from the steam
circuit.
• This iron for domestic use is fitted with a special
device to obtain either steam discharge over
the whole plate or concentrated in one point.
If you require steam discharge over the whole
plate, press the steam discharge button (2) with
the iron in a horizontal position.
Hold the button (2) down and move the iron
into a vertical position to obtain continuous
steam discharge over the whole plate.
If, on the other hand, you require steam
discharge concentrated in one point, push the
steam discharge button (2) with the iron in a
vertical position. To obtain point discharge in a
horizontal position, hold the button down.
• The separate iron mat and cable wand (for
mounting either on the right or left, see fig. 2)
provided with certain models enable the
appliance to be arranged as you wish.
Note: use the iron mat on the ironing board
only.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
STEAM IRONING
Before steam ironing, make sure the fabric is suita-
ble for this kind of ironing. The machine works with
normal tap water. In the event of very hard water
(hardness above 27°F) we suggest using distilled
water diluted 50% with tap water.
Never use distil-
led water alone.
Never use chemical substances or
detergents (eg perfumed water, essences, descaling
solutions, etc).
