Acme IB100 [8/126] Suggestions before using the iron for the first time

suggestions before using

the iron for the ﬁrst time

1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased; therefore the iron could give o a little

smoke when plugged in for the rst time. This will cease after a short while.

2. Before using the iron for the rst time, remove the plastic protector from the soleplate (if

present). Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.

3. Keep the soleplate very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (such as against the

uncovered ironing board, buttons, zips etc).

4. Pure wool garments (100% wool) can be ironed with the appliance in the steam position. You

should select preferently a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth.

How to ll the water tank

- If water from the tap is too hard, it is advisable to use only distilled or demineralized water.
