Preparation

3.3 Tips for ironing

• Prior to ironing, always check the
garment label to ensure the correct
temperature is set on the iron.
• Since the iron heats up much
quicker than it cools down, synthetic
textiles, silk or similar fabrics 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 colored silk. This could
cause stains.
• Garments made of 100% pure wool
can be ironed using steam. Set
the temperature control dial (12)
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.

WARNING: Never iron
on metal parts, such as
A
zippers, rivets, or metal
buttons as they could
damage the soleplate
(9). Always iron around
these metal parts.

3.4 Storage

If you will not be using the steam iron
for a long period of time, please store
it away carefully.
• Make sure that the iron is
disconnected from the power supply
and completely dry when storing it
away.
• Empty the water tank (8).
• Open the water drainage screw (23)
and let the remaining water drain
out of the iron. Screw in the water
drainage screw (23) again and
tighten it.
• To store away the steam ironing
station, wind the steam hose (2) and
the power cable (7) around the cable
storage holder (6) and secure them
with the clamping bracket.
• Please try to store the steam iron
and the attachments in their original
packaging.
• Store it in a cool, dry place.
• Make sure the appliance is always
kept out of the reach of children.
