Tips for ironing
7
Prior to ironing, always check the garment
label to ensure the correct tempearture is set
on the iron.
7
Since the iron heats up much quicker than it
cools down, synthetic textiles, silk or similar
fabrics should be ironed using lower tempera-
ture settings first.
7
If the garment is made of combined types of
fabric, always begin with the lowest tempera-
ture setting first.
7
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 lit-
tle pressure and only in one direction. Always
keep moving the iron while ironing.
7
Do not use the steam function when ironing
coloured silk. This could cause stains.
7
Garments made of 100% pure wool can
be ironed using steam. Set the temperature
control dial preferably to the MAX setting and
lay a dry towel between the garment and the
iron.
7
Ironing wool garments can cause them to
'shine'. It is therefore recommended to iron
such garments inside out.
Caution
7
Never iron on metal parts, such as zippers,
rivets, or metal buttons as they could damage
the soleplate. Always iron around these metal
parts.
Cleaning and care
Caution
7
Do not under any circumstance use petrol,
solvents, abrasive cleaners, or hard brushes to
clean this appliance.
7
Do not touch the hot soleplate with bare hands
directly after ironing. Danger of Burns!
7
Remove limescale and other mineral deposits
from the steam ironing station when the descal-
ing indicator lights up.
7
Never hold the steam ironing station under
running water and never submerge it in water
or any other liquid.
7
Never clean the soleplate with chemicals, steel
wool, wood or other abrasive cleaning agents.
1 Prior to each cleaning, turn the appliance off
and disconnect the power plug from the power
outlet.
2 Let the steam iron cool down completely.
3 Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the exterior
of the iron. Then dry it off thoroughly.
4 Wipe deposits off the soleplate with a slightly
damp cloth or if necessary, with a mild, non-
abrasive liquid cleaner.
