using your iron We recommend that you: • Start by ironing those items of laundry that require the lowest temperature (e.g. synthetics). Finish by ironing fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures and steam—such as cotton and linen. • If you iron a fabric made of a blend of fibres set the temperature of your iron to the most delicate fibre.
using your iron Ironing without steam If you intend to dry-iron fabrics there is no need to fill the water tank. However, if water is already in the water tank, you don’t need to empty it. 1. Set the steam control to the off (0) position. 2.
using your iron Vertical steam ironing Never iron garments when they are being worn. Your iron can be used for vertical steam ironing curtains, dresses on hangers etc. 1. Fill your iron with water. 2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on. 3.
care and cleaning Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of your iron because they will damage the surface. Self-cleaning The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. Use the self-clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self clean function should be used more frequently.
