ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes
(sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.). If the fabric is blended (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetics),
set the thermostat to the temperature of the fibre requiring the lowest temperature.
If you do not know the composition of the fabric, test the temperature on a hidden corner of
the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal
temperature. Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the
soleplate fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable. Starch is more effective
if you use the dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat scorches it with the risk of
forming a yellow mark.
To avoid making silk, woollen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out. To avoid
making velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fibre) and do not press down
on the iron.
The more loaded the washing machine, the more creased the garments. This also happens
with excessive spin drying. Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
USE
FILLING ThE BOILER WhEN COLD
1. Ensure that the appliance is not connected to the mains.
2. Unscrew the safety cap (1) completely and fill the boiler using the funnel provided (13),
being careful not to overfill. The boiler has a capacity of approx. 1 litre.
3. At the end of the operation, screw on the safety cap (1) tightly.
IRONING
• Insert the plug (8) in a suitable socket;
• press the iron/boiler on/off switch (7). The soleplate temperature indicator light (10) will
turn on;
• adjust the iron temperature regulation knob (12) according to the international symbols
found on the garment label. Wait until the indicator light (10) goes off;
• begin ironing when the steam ready indicator light (5) comes on. While ironing, the steam
ready indicator light (5) and the soleplate temperature indicator light (10) go on and off,
indicating that the machine is maintaining the pressure and temperature at optimal levels.
• to steam iron, press the steam release push-button (11);
• turn the steam regulation knob (4) (where present) to regulate the quantity of steam desired.
• to dry iron, do not press the steam release push-button (11).
