this is missing, according to the type of fabric. This will minimize the frequency of temperature
adjustment for different garments.

Fabric not to be ironed
Test ironing a small area on the backside or inside the garment if you are unsure about the type
of fabric. Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature and increase gradually.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and elimi-
nates the risk of scorching the fabric.
STEAM IRONING
Filling the reservoir
- Make sure that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
- Move the steam selector (3) to “0” [
Fig. 1
].
- Open the lid (2).
- Hold the iron upright. Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without
over
fl
owing.
- Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (14) and taking care not to
go over the maximum level (about 350ml) indicated by “MAX” on the reservoir [
Fig. 2
].
- Close the lid (2).
Selecting the temperature.
- Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (10) according to the international symbol on the garment label
[
Fig. 3
]. The plate temperature control light (8) indicates that the iron is heating up. Wait until
the plate temperature control light goes off before ironing.
Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature control light (8) comes on at intervals, indicating
that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat temperature after iron-
ing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate temperature control light comes on
again.
