IRONING TIPS
·
Always check first if there is a label on the garment with instructions for ironing. If this is the case, then
always follow these instructions.
·
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Therefore, always iron the garments that require the
lowest temperature first, like synthetic fabrics.
·
If a fabric contains several types of fibres, always choose the lowest temperature to iron the
combination of these fibres.
·
Silk and other shiny fabrics should be ironed inside-out.
·
Velvet and other fabrics that easily become shiny should be ironing with slight pressure, in one
direction. Always keep the iron moving.
·
Never iron over zippers or other metal objects in a garment. This can damage the soleplate. Always
iron around such objects.
Caution: if you iron woollen fabrics, the fabric may become shiny. That is why you should turn the
garment inside-out for ironing.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
·
Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning it.
·
Wipe residues from the soleplate with a damp cloth or with a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
Caution: Do not use any chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to scrape the soleplate.
·
Clean the upper part of the iron with a soft, damp cloth.
·
Wipe the water drops on the steam generator and the thermal insulation pads with a dry cloth.
·
When not using the steam generator for a long time, pour out the water from the water tank and place
the iron on the thermal insulation pads to store the appliance.
·
Store the steam hose and the power cord in the storage area provided.
CAUTION: Only use tap water (or 50% tap water and 50% demineralized water in case of hard water) in
your steam generator. Careful: De-scaled or de-mineralised water must never be used on its own, but
must be combined with tap water. In case of use of a "softener" and/or perfumed water, brown stains
could emerge, which would cause damage to the steam chamber.
