USING THE IRON FOR THE FIRST TIME
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of steam and hear
some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is considered normal and it stops after a
short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for
the first time.
PREPARATIONS
Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label, or
if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.

Fabric not to be ironed
Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and
eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
