Temperature choice
Check the ironing instructions on the clothing you want to iron.
If a piece of clothing does not have a label with ironing instructions, but you are
familiar with the material, you can then make use of the overview here below (fig B).
Material with a special shiny layer or other extra finishes must be ironed using the
lowest temperature.
If your item of clothing consists of several types of fabric always use the lowest
temperature corresponding to the type of fabric you have. A piece of clothing, for
example, 60% polyester and 40%
cotton must be ironed using the
temperature settings for polyester
without steam (fig B).
Take care to sort your washing out
properly, checking the type of material
and selecting the correct temperature needed for ironing. Start with the items of
clothing that require a low temperature and finish of with the washing requiring the
highest temperature(s).
Wool and other delicate materials such as silk, velvet, etc. are best ironed using an
ironing cloth in order to prevent damage to the material.
Filling the water reservoir
Remove the plug from the mains socket.
Adjust the steam-generating dial to the setting without steam
(0).
Fill the water reservoir through the opening (fig 2) to the
maximum level MAX.
If you live in an area with hard water it is advisable to use
demineralised or distilled water. Do not use any chemically
modified or perfumed water. Never store the iron with if its
reservoir is full.
Steam ironing
Fill the iron as described.
Plug the appliance into the mains socket.
Steam ironing is only possible if the highest temperature is set: (•••).
If you select a lower temperature the water supply will be automatically shut off by
the drip-stop so that no water is able to escape via the soleplate.
Wait until the indicator lamp goes out, that means the selected temperature has been
reached. Adjust the steam adjustment dial to the desired setting.
In between ironing and when you have finished ironing your clothing place the iron in
an upright position resting on its back end.
After ironing remove the plug from the mains socket, pour the remaining water out of
the reservoir and leave the iron to cool off in a vertical position.
