Ironing instructions
Ironing tips
• First sort the items to be ironed according to the sensitivity of the fabrics and sort them according to the
corresponding temperature levels. Most items of clothing have an international fabric care label; always
follow the manufacturer's instructions. 1 point on the label indicates "low temperature level", 2 points mean
"medium temperature level" and 3 points means "high temperature level".
• The base (10) heats up more quickly than it cools down. Therefore begin with fabrics which are ironed at a
lower temperature level and continue with fabrics which require a higher temperature. This minimizes the
temperature regulation procedure.
• Synthetic fabrics may melt if they are ironed at too high a temperature. If in doubt, always select a lower
temperature.
• If you want to reduce the temperature again while ironing, only begin ironing heat-sensitive fabrics when the
display for the temperature level after the temperature reduction is constant and the signal has sounded.
This will ensure that the selected temperature level has been attained.
• It is best to iron critical materials such as acrylics, nylon, silk or wool using an ironing cloth in order to avoid
marks from the base (10).
• For blended fabrics, set the temperature according to that which requires the lowest temperature. For ex-
ample, for a wool-nylon blend, nylon requires the lowest level. In this case set the temperature for nylon.
• If possible, test the setting on a small area of the fabric (reverse, inside).
• For the first use, it is recommended that you use an old towel.
• For sensitive fabrics, ensure that the Steam jet button (2) on the steam iron is pressed simultaneously with
the beginning of the ironing.
• For wool, it is enough to refresh the fabric with steam. This will refresh the fabric and ensure that the fibres
remain elastic. Direct contact between the fabric and base of the iron is usually not required.
• In general, the external side of the fabric is ironed, unless the resulting shine is undesired. One exception is
t-shirts with prints, which should be turned inside-out. Loden fabric and velvet may be ironed on the outside
and in the direction of the fibres.
• If you use washing and/or ironing starch, this should only be sprayed on the reverse side of the fabric. That
is to say on the side that is not ironed, so that no starch remnants stick to the base of the iron. Washing and/
or ironing starch stuck to the base of the iron make ironing more difficult.
