Tips
If the article consists of various kind of fiber, always select the temperature required by the most
delicate fiber, i.e. the lowest temperature. If, for example, the fabric consists of 60% polyester and
40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester(●●).
If you do not know what kind of fabric(s) the article is made of, determine the right ironing tempera-
ture by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woolen and synthetic materials: Iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.
Fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches should be ironed in one direction only (along with the nap
) while applying very little pressure.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, i.e. those made of synthetic
materials.
● To make the iron cool down faster, simply apply steam or iron a piece of cloth.
Using the appliance
Steam ironing
The supply hose may become hot during a long ironing session.
● The system may occasionally produce a pumping sound during steam ironing. This is normal and
tells you that water is being pumped into the steam tank.
Make sure there is enough water in the water tank..
● Steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures (higher than ●●).
● During steam ironing, the "steam ready light" goes on from time to time to indicate temperature.
● The opening and closing of the steam valve in the steam tank will cause a clicking sound. This is
perfectly.
Ironing without steam
1. Start ironing without pressing the steam activator or switch the steam rate dial to close position.
