•
The supply cable may heat up during a long ironing session.
•
If the noise of the pump gets louder, the water reservoir most likely
has to be filled. Make sure there is always enough water in the
reservoir, at least above the minimum level.
6. When finished with ironing, turn the temperature disc down to its minimum and
remove the plug from the mains. Place the iron on the thermal isolation cushions
of the steam generator and allow to it cool completely.
Ironing tips
•
Always check first if there is a label on the garment with instructions for ironing.
If this is the case, then always follow these instructions.
•
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Therefore, always iron the garments
that require the lowest temperature first, like synthetic fabrics.
•
If a fabric contains several types of fibres, always choose the lowest temperature
to iron the combination of these fibres.
•
Silk and other shiny fabrics should be ironed inside-out.
•
Velvet and other fabrics that easily become shiny should be ironing with slight
pressure, in one direction. Always keep the iron moving.
•
Fabrics that are a 100% wool can be ironed with steam. Set the temperature to the
maximum and use a dry cloth to place on the fabric.
•
Never iron over zippers or other metal objects in a garment. This can damage the
soleplate. Always iron around such objects.
Caution: if you iron woollen fabrics, the fabric may become shiny. That is why you
should turn the garment inside-out for ironing.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning it.
2. Wipe residues from the soleplate with a damp cloth or with a non-abrasive
(liquid) cleaner.
Caution: Do not use any chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to
scrape the soleplate.
3. Clean the upper part of the iron with a soft, damp cloth.
4. Wipe the water drops on the steam generator and the thermal insulation pads with
a dry cloth.
5. When not using the steam generator for a long time, pour out the water from the
water tank and place the iron on the thermal insulation pads to store the appliance.
6. Wind the steam hose and cord around the appliance and lock them into place with
the cord clamp.
DESCALING
Descale the steam generator regularly to increase the life span of the machine and to
maintain good operation.
