General information about ironing
Always check first whether a label with
ironing instructions is attached to the article
to be ironed.
∙ The meaning of the ironing symbols is
as follows:
• synthetics
(low temperature)
•• silk and wool
(medium temperature)
••• cotton and linen
(high temperature)
∙ These markings can also be found on
the temperature control knob of the iron
in form of dot symbols.
∙ Laundry to be ironed should be
sorted according to the fabric ironing
temperature. Follow the ironing symbols
and start with the lowest temperature.
∙ When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or
if you are not sure about the fabrics, you
can carefully test-iron at a non-visible
point, e.g. the inside of a seam. Start
with the lowest temperature.
∙ If the laundry has been being dried in
a dryer before ironing, the temperature
should be adjusted to 'iron dry'. Very dry
fabrics are difficult to iron.
Start up
Clean the iron before using for the first
time, according to the instructions given
in the paragraph 'General Care and
Cleaning - Self-cleaning system'.
This will result in the removal of any
dust particles from the soleplate and
subsequently lessen the smell typically
encountered when first switching on.
Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
Ironing
∙ Always use the iron on a heat-resistant
surface.
∙ Steam ironing requires high
temperatures. The temperature level
for steam ironing is indicated on the
temperature control knob.
∙ A fter filling the reservoir with water,
place the steam iron upright on its base
stand and insert the plug into the wall
socket.
∙ Set the temperature control knob to
the required ironing temperature as
indicated by the ironing symbols.
∙ During the heating-up process, the
temperature indicator lamp will be on.
The lamp will go out once the required
temperature is reached. The main
indicator lamp on the handle remains lit
as long as the appliance is connected to
the mains power.
∙ Before ironing any fabric, the soleplate
should be cleaned by passing it over an
old, clean cotton cloth while using the
steam jet function; this helps to flush out
any dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the soleplate.
∙ The steam output can be adjusted with
the steam control button, or switched off
completely for dry ironing.
∙ For dry ironing, the water reservoir
may be left empty. But if there is any
water left in the reservoir, the steam jet
function may also be used when dry-
ironing at higher temperature settings.
∙ Place the steam iron upright on its base
stand after use and remove the plug
from the wall socket.
