Descriptions of Parts
Before first use
1. Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result, the iron might smoke
slightly when switched ‘ON’ for the first time. After a short while, this will cease.
2. Before using for the first time, remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate
with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the soleplate smooth: do not scratch the unit against metal objects (e.g. rack of
the ironing board, buttons, zippers)
Setting the temperature
1. Always check to see whether ironing instructions are attached to the article to be ironed
(they can be found on a label showing a symbol of an iron. The numbers of dots indicate
the correct temperature. Refer to the indications on the temperature dial and in the table
below). Follow these ironing instructions in all cases.
2. If ironing instructions are missing but you do know the kind of fabric, then see the table
below. The table is valid for the actual materials and do not concern any applied finish,
gloss etc.
3. Textile to which some kind of finish has been applied (gloss, wrinkle relief etc.) can best
be ironed on lower temperatures.
4. Sort the fabrics out according to ironing temperature first: wool with wool, cotton with
cotton, etc. The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing the
clothes that require the lowest temperature, and then progress to higher ones.
5. Turn the temperature control knob round until it is opposite the setting pointer.
