into contact with the article of clothing. The distance between the soleplate
and the article of clothing depends on the kind of textile and the creases.
Suggestions
Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool
•
with wool, cotton with cotton, etc...
Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is
•
advisable to start with those fabrics which require lower temperatures and
move on to those which require progressively higher temperatures.
If the material is made up of more than one type of fibre, always set the
•
temperature to the fibre which requires less heat. For example, if the
material is made up of 70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature
control to position (•) (see table) without steam, that is, the temperature for
synthetic fabrics.
If you do not know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a
•
part of the article which will not be seen. Does test ironing on this part to
establish the appropriate temperature (always start with a relatively low
temperature and work up until the ideal temperature is reached).
Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one of the
•
steam positions. To avoid pure wool, silk and synthetic materials becoming
shiny, it makes good sense to iron them on the reverse side.
For other materials, especially velvet, which can become shiny very easily,
•
cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction only, using light pressure.
The iron must be kept constantly moving over the fabric.
•
Anti-scale System
This iron has an innovative built-in anti-scale system on the water tank,
consisting of a resin filter that retains the scale substances from the
water, so these cannot reach the steam chamber of the soleplate,
thus extending the life of the iron.
It is essential to pull out anti-scale bag from the cartridge and clean it
once a week. Take out the bag from the cartridge and immerse into
500ml of pure water mixed with 10% salt for 2 hours.
Storing the appliance
1.
Always allow the iron to cool down before storing the appliance.
2.
Disconnect the power cable form the outlet.
3.
Place the iron on the iron pad, standing on the soleplate.
4.
Empty the water tank.
