3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.The temperature
light goes on to indicate that the iron is heating up.
◗ The iron is hot enough when the temperature light goes out.
◗ During ironing the temperature light goes on from time to time.
This indicates that the iron is heating up to the right temperature.
◗ If you have been ironing at a high temperature and subsequently
set the temperature dial to a lower setting, wait until the
temperature light goes on again before you continue ironing.This
will prevent damage to your fabrics.
◗ Some parts of the iron have been lightly greased.This may cause
the iron to give off some smoke when you switch it on for the
first time.After a short while, however, this will cease.
Tips
- If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. For example: if an article consists of 60% polyester and
40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for
polyester (2) and without steam.
- 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.
Type of fabric
Synthetic fabrics (e.g.
acetate, acrylic, viscose,
polyamide, polyester)
and silk
Wool
