Ironing tips
Minimising wrinkles while drying
Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out your laundry properly after washing and by
putting garments on hangers to make them dry naturally with fewer wrinkles.
Best practice shirt ironing
Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cuff links and sleeves. Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back to
prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming parts.
Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn
over and repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a more crisp finish.
Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective and faster ironing.
IMPORTANT - DESCALING
It is very important to perform the descaling procedure as soon as the EASY DE-CALC light starts to flash and the
appliance beeps continuously.
The EASY DE-CALC light flashes and the appliance beeps continuously after about a month or 10 ironing
sessions to indicate that the appliance needs to be descaled. Perform the following descaling procedure before
you continue ironing.
To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two hours before you perform
the descaling procedure.
1
Remove the plug from the wall socket (Fig. 11).
2
Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
3
Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob
anticlockwise (Fig. 12).
4
Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale particles flow into the cup (Fig. 2).
