• Observe all ironing instructions and ironing temperature dot
settings given by the garment manufacturer. These are
normally on a label or labels inside the garment.
• If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
• The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to
the mains socket.
• Always ensure the water filling does not exceed the max
mark.
• Always unplug the iron when refilling the water reservoir.
• Keep the iron & its cord out of reach of children less than 8
years of age when it is energized or cooling down.
Do not iron garments that are dirty or stained. The iron’s heat may set the stain.
Maintaining the finish of the iron’s soleplate is essential. Keep the soleplate
smooth: do not scratch it on metal objects (e.g. the edge of the ironing board,
buttons, zippers, etc.) as these may impair performance.
FIRST TIME USE
Inspect the iron carefully.
Check that the voltage marked on the rating matches your mains voltage.
Remove any protective film from the soleplate. Polish the soleplate lightly with a
clean soft cloth to remove any residues.
If there are no ironing instructions but you know the fabric, then use the table above.
The table is valid only for the actual material and does not take account of any finish
applied to the fabric. Fabrics to which a finish has been applied (wrinkle relief, printed
T shirts etc.) should be ironed at a lower temperature.
If the fabric contains mixed fibres, select the lowest ironing temperature of the
composition, e.g. iron a 60% polyester / 40% cotton mix at the temperature indicated
for polyester.
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Sort fabrics to be ironed into groups
according to temperature: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc. Start by ironing
articles requiring low temperature settings and progress to higher ones.
Pure (100%) wool fabrics may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position and the
garment protected by a dry cloth.
