STEAM IRON: PRECAUTION FOR USE AND TEMPERATURES
•
Always check first if a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article that needs to
be ironed. Follow these ironing instructions in all cases.
•
If ironing instructions are missing but you know the kind of fabric, then see the table for
recommended ironing temperatures.
Kind of textile
Nylon
Synthetic (e.g. acetate,
acrylic, viscose,
polyamide, polyester, ...)
Silk
Wool
Cotton
Linen
•
Plug in the appliance and put the switch in position "I" to switch it on. The power light of
the switch and the pump pilot light will light up, indicating that the appliance is working
and the iron is heating. Set the temperature dial of the iron to the desired position, the
indicator lamp of the iron will light up. As soon as the desired temperature is reached, the
pilot light of the iron will go out and you can start ironing.
•
During ironing this pilot light will come on from time to time. When this happens, the
soleplate is being heated up to the required temperature again. You can continue
ironing.
•
The table is valid for the fibre materials only. If some kind of finish has been applied (gloss,
wrinkle, relief etc.), the textile can best be ironed at a lower temperature.
First sort out the fabrics according to ironing temperature: wool with wool, cotton with
cotton, etc.
•
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring
the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Then progress to the higher
temperatures.
•
If the article is made of a mixture of different fibres, you must always select the lowest
ironing temperature of the composition of those fibres.
(E.g. an article consisting of "60% polyester and 40% cotton" should be ironed at the
temperature indicated for polyester and without steam.)
If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the article has been made of, find a spot
which will be invisible when wearing or using the article to try out the ironing temperature.
(Always start at a low temperature and increase to one which gives the required results.)
•
Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. It is
recommended to apply shot-of-steam and use a dry pressing cloth.
When steam-ironing woollen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. This can be
prevented by turning the article inside out and ironing the inside or by interposing a light
damp cloth.
