●● Temperature for silk, wool. (Minimum tempe-
rature for ironing with steam)
●●● Temperature for cotton.
Max Temperature for linen.
- If garment has various kinds of fibres, select the
temperature for the fibre that requires the lowest
temperature. (For example, select the tempera-
ture for polyester for a fabric made out of 60%
polyester and 40% cotton).
- Wait until the pilot light (F) has gone out, indica-
ting that the appliance has reached an adequate
temperature.
- During use the pilot light (F) will automatically
flash on and off, indicating that the heating
