Tips for ironing
Prior to ironing, always check the garment label to ensure the correct temperature setting is on the iron.
Since the iron heats up much quicker than it cools down, synthetic textiles, silk or similar fabrics should be
ironed using lower temperature settings first.
If the garment is made of combined types of fabric, always begin with the lowest temperature setting first.
Silk and other textiles that tend to shine should be ironed inside out. Velvet and other types of fabric that
shine should be ironed with very little pressure and only in one direction. Always keep moving the iron
while ironing.
Do not use the steam function when ironing colored silk. This could cause stains.
Garments made of 100% pure wool can be ironed using steam. Set the temperature control dial preferably
to the MAX setting and lay a dry towel between the garment and the iron.
Ironing wool garments can cause them to ‘shine’. It is therefore recommended to iron such garments inside out.
Caution
Never iron on metal parts, such as zippers, rivets, or metal buttons as they could damage the soleplate.
Always iron around these metal parts.
Cleaning and care
Caution
Do not under any circumstance use petrol, solvents, abrasive cleaners, or hard brushes to clean this
product.
Do not touch the hot soleplate with bare hands directly after ironing. Danger of Burns!
Never hold the steam iron under running water and never submerge it in water or any other liquid.
Never clean the soleplate with chemicals, steel wool, wood or other abrasive cleaning agents.
1. Prior to each cleaning, turn the device off and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
2. Let the steam iron cool down completely.
3. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the exterior of the iron. Then dry it off thoroughly.
4. Wipe deposits off the soleplate with a slightly damp cloth or if necessary, with a mild, non-
abrasive liquid cleaner.
Storage
If you will not be using the steam iron for a long period of time, please store it away carefully.
Make sure that the iron is disconnected from the power supply and completely dry when storing it away.
Empty the water tank.
Please try to store the steam iron and the attachments in their original packaging.
Store it in a cool, dry place.
Make sure the appliance is always kept out of the reach of children.
