- If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine
the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you
wear or use the article.
- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent
shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains.
2 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
3 When the temperature light has gone out, wait a while before you start
ironing.
Do not bend or damage the steam control needle.
10 Put the steam control back into the iron by inserting the point of the needle
exactly in the centre of the hole and by fitting the small projection on the side
of the needle into the slot. Press down the steam control while turning it to
position O (Fig. 14).
11 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
After the Calc-Clean process
1 Put the plug in the wall socket and let the iron heat up to allow the soleplate
to dry.
2 Unplug the iron when the temperature light has gone out.
3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains
that may have formed on the soleplate.
Storage
1 Set the steam control to position O, remove the plug from the wall socket
and let the iron cool down.
2 Clean the appliance and wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate
with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact with metal objects.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals.
3 Regularly rinse the water tank with water and empty it after cleaning (Fig. 15).
4 Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility (Fig. 16).
5 Always store the iron standing on its heel in a safe and dry place.
Environment
- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end
of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this,
you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 17).
