Using for the First Time

Setting the Temperature
(Figure 2)
Please note the internationally appli-
cable care symbols on garment labels.
On good quality garments they indi-
cate the correct ironing temperatures.
The ironing table indicates which tem-
perature is most appropriate for a par-
ticular type of fabric. We recommend
sorting the washing first. Start with
materials that require low temperature
ironing (e.g. PERLON). Follow on by
ironing materials that require progres-
sively higher temperatures. In this way
you avoid damaging sensitive fabrics
by using too high a temperature. When
switched on, the power indicator lamp
12
lights up (Figure 1/J); it goes out when
the temperature set has been reached.
However, if the temperature selector
(Figure 1/N) is turned back, please note
that it takes a while for the soleplate
to cool down. Only when the power
indicator light comes on again has the
soleplate reached the cooler tempera-
ture.

Dry Ironing

0 Set the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to
position "0" (Figure 4/A).
0 Turn the temperature selector
(Figure 1/N) to the desired tempera-
ture.

Steam Ironing

Filling the Steam Iron (Figure 3)
The water reservoir should only be fil-
led when the plug has been removed
from the socket.
0 Set the steam selector to position
"0" = dry iron (Figure 4/A) and hold
the appliance upright.
0 Fill the water reservoir at most to the
"MAX" mark. To do this, you can use
the measuring beaker supplied
(Figure 1/P).

Water Quality

You can use tap water up to 3 mmol/I
17° dH water hardness level. Your local
Water Authority can advise you on the
hardness of the water in your area. If
the water from your tap is harder than
the above, please use distilled water
available from a chemist or a 50:50
mixture of tap water and distilled
water. Never use battery water under
any circumstances!
When using for the first time,
please note:
0 Fill the reservoir with water; set the
steam selector (Figure 1/F) to position
"4" (Figure 4/B).
