Tips for Ironing

Prior to ironing, always check the garment label
to ensure the correct temperature setting is on
the iron.
Since the iron heats up much quicker than it
cools down, synthetic textiles, silk or similar fa-
brics should be ironed using lower temperature
settings first.
If the garment is made of combined types of
fabric, always begin with the lowest temperature
setting first.
Silk and other textiles that tend to shine should
be ironed inside out. Velvet and other types of
fabric that shine should be ironed with very little
pressure and only in one direction. Always keep
moving the iron while ironing.
Do not use the steam function when ironing
coloured silk. This could cause stains.
Garments made of 100% pure wool can be
ironed using steam. Set the temperature control
dial preferably to the MAX setting and lay a
dry towel between the garment and the iron.
Ironing wool garments can cause them to
'shine'. It is therefore recommended to iron such
garments inside out.
Caution
Never iron on metal parts, such as zippers, rivets,
or metal buttons as they could damage the sole-
plate. Always iron around these metal parts.

directly after ironing.
Remove limescale and other mineral deposits
from the steam ironing station when the desca-
ling indicator lights up.
Never hold the steam ironing station under
running water and never submerge it in water or
any other liquid.
Never clean the soleplate with chemicals, steel
wool, wood or other abrasive cleaning agents.
1
Prior to each cleaning, turn the device off and
disconnect the power plug from the power
outlet.
2
Let the steam iron cool down completely.
3
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the exterior
of the iron. Then dry it off thoroughly.
4
Wipe deposits off the soleplate with a slightly
damp cloth or if necessary, with a mild, non-
abrasive liquid cleaner.
Descaling
Note
To maintain efficiency, extend the operating life
of your steam ironing station and to avoid scale
particles on your garments, this unit is equipped
with an orange "Descaling" warning indicator
light. This light flashes on the control panel
after about 100 minutes of operating time.
When the descaling indicator
can continue using your iron normally but you
need to remember to descale the unit before
using it the next time.
Caution
Do not use any descaling products!
These could damage the appliance.
Before descaling or emptying the unit, the iron
must cool down for more than 2 hours in order
to avoid the risk of burns.
1 Place the cooled down steam iron on an even
surface.
