Important precautions

Special instructions

To make good use of your appliance, please read these 

instructions carefully and look at the illustrations before using 

it.

•  Check that the voltage on the product rating plate coincides with 

your mains voltage.

•  The iron shall not be used if there are visible signs of 

damage or if the iron is leaking the iron shall be sent to the 

manufacturer or a qualified service agent before further use. 

•  Completely unwind the main cable.

•  Always unplug the iron when not in use, even if only for a 

short period of time. Unplug it from the main outlet and leave it 

standing on its rear base.

•   Make sure that children can not touch the hot iron and that they 

can not pull on the main wire.

•   Always unplug the iron before filling the water or when 

removing the excess water form it.

•  Never submerge the iron in water.

•  The iron shall be used on a stable ironing board.

•  Model:19702-IS Mains Supply:220V-240V~50Hz Rated 

Power:2200W

•  To avoid overloads, do not plug any other high-power appliance 

into the same electricity line.

•  Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased therefore the 

iron could give off a little smoke when plugged in for the first 

time. This will cease after a short while.

•  Before using the iron for the first time, remove the plastic 

protector from the base clean the base with a soft cloth.

•  Keep the base very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects 

(such as against the ironing board, buttons, zips, etc.).

•  Pure wool fibres (100% wool) can be ironed with the appliance 

in the steam position by preference, select a high steam position 

and use a dry ironing cloth.

Selecting the temperature

•  Check the ironing instructions on the garment to be ironed.

•  If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you 

know the kind of fabric in question, use the chart below.

•  Fabrics that have some kind of finish can be ironed at the lowest 

temperatures.

•  If the fabric contains several kinds of fibres, always select the 

temperature applicable, if an article contains 60% polyester 

and 40% cotton, you must always choose the temperature 

corresponding to polyester and without steam.

•  First classify the articles to be ironed according to the most 

suitable ironing temperature wool with wool, cotton with cotton, 

etc. as the iron heats up as fast as it cools start by ironing the 

articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of 

synthetic fibres. Progress towards those that require the highest 

temperatures.

•  Turn the temperature control until it is in front of the appropriate 

signal according to the following:

•   Position for nylon and acetate

•  Position for wool, silk or mixtures

•  Position for cotton or linen (steam).
