4. HINTS BEFORE FIRST USE
•
Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result the iron might smoke slightly when
switched 'ON' for the first time. After a short while, this will cease.
•
Before using for the first time remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate with a soft cloth.
•
Keep the soleplate smooth: do not scratch against metal objects (e.g. rack of ironing board, buttons,
zippers)
•
Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. Preferably
select steam selector position and use a dry pressing cloth.
