Useful advice

• The original appearance and softness of velvet, wool or similar materials as well as
glove and bags etc. can be restored by holding the iron a few cm above the fabric whilst
pressing the steam button.
• Carpets or rugs can be restored to new, eliminating marks left by furniture resting on
them, by penetrating the flattened area with steam and then brushing lightly.
• Never rest or use the iron on zips, hooks, rings etc as this could scratch the plate.
• The surface of the sole must be kept clean. To clean, wipe the cold surface with a damp
cloth. Never treat the iron with descaling agent.
• After use, always wait for the iron to cool before putting it away. Keep attention not to let
the cables touch the hot parts of the appliance.
• If the appliance is not used for a long time it is suggested, before ironing, to press the
steam supply button for 30 seconds putting the iron on a cloth ; this to clean the internal
tubes of the appliance.
• Store the appliance in a dry place.
• To stop the appliance, press On/Off switch and put thermostat and steam debit dials at
minimum settings.
• Divide garments according to the required ironing temperature, starting with those which
require the coolest temperature.
• Silk can be dry ironed on the wrong side.
• Wool, cotton and fine linen fabrics can be steam ironed on the wrong side or
alternatively on the right side with a thin layer of material between the fabric to be ironed
and the iron to avoid "shine". Starched fabrics require a higher humidity. Iron white and
light fabrics on the right side and dark colours on the wrong side. Iron embroidery on the
wrong side to make it stand out.
• Linen can be steam ironed, steaming abundantly and ironing dark fabrics only on the
wrong side to avoid "shine". Iron lapels, cuffs and turn-ups on the right side to make
them stand out.
• Each time you use the iron (and when you use it for the first time) or if you have not used
steam for several minutes, push the steam button repeatedly. This eliminates cold water
from the steam circuit.

STEAM IRONING

• Before steam ironing, make sure the fabric is suitable for this type of ironing.
• The appliance works with normal tap water.
• If the water has a high calcium content, it is recommended to use distilled water.
