Temperature Control on the Iron (7)
The symbols on the control correspond to the following
settings:
OFF
(synthetics, rayon, silk)
(wool)
(cotton, linen)
MAX
• Turn woollen clothes inside out to avoid shiny spots on
the fabric due to steam ironing. In addition, lay a thin
cotton cloth onto the fabric.
• Select a low temperature setting for fabrics with addi-
tional surface treatment and iron them inside out.
NOTE:
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Start ironing
with the lowest temperature setting.
Water
• Please use only distilled water.
• Do not fill battery water, water from the clothes dryer
and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume,
softener or other chemicals) into the water reservoir.
• This could damage the iron due to residues forming in
the steam chamber. These residues may cause impu-
rities to the fabric when dropping out of the holes in the
sole plate.
Operation
Before Initial Use
• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please
pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.
Ironing without Steam

1. Sort out the garments according to their ironing
temperatures.

markings (5).
3. Set the steam control (12) to the "0" position, following
the steam control markings (9).
