After ironing
Set the temperature control knob (M) to "min".
Unplug it from the electric outlet. Let the iron cool down on its stand (E). Empty the tank:
open the tank filling cover (I), overturn the iron and let water drain (Fig. 21).
Warning!
Let the iron cool down before emptying the tank: danger of burns.
Store the power cord in the cord storage compartment (Z). Put back the cable
connecting the iron to the tank in the cord storage compartment (Y). Let the iron cool
down on its stand, taking care not to touch the power cables and connection with the hot
parts of the appliance.
SUGGESTIONS
Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool, cotton
with cotton, etc.
Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is advisable to start
with those fabrics which require lower temperatures and move on to those which require
progressively higher temperatures. If the material is made up of more than one type of
fibre, always set the temperature to the fibre which requires less heat. For example, if the
material is made up of 70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to
position (•) (see table) without steam, that is, the temperature for synthetic fabrics.
If you do not know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a part of the
article which will not be seen. Do a test ironing on this part to establish the appropriate
temperature (always start with a relatively low temperature and work up until the ideal
temperature is reached). Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one
of the steam positions. To avoid pure wool, silk and synthetic materials becoming shiny, it
makes good sense to iron them on the reverse side. For other materials, especially velvet,
which can become shiny very easily, cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction
only, using light pressure. The iron must be kept constantly moving over the fabric.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Warning!
Before cleaning, always disconnect the plug from the power point and allow the
iron to cool down on its stand grille.
Warning!
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
Warning!
Check the state of the power cable of your iron on a regular basis before using it,
and if it is damaged, take it to the service centre closest to you to have it replaced
only by specialised personnel.
Cleaning the soleplate
Any deposits and other residue material on the soleplate can be removed using a cloth
soaked in a water and vinegar solution. Always dry the soleplate with a dry cloth.
