Correct dampness
For best results, the residual moisture of the
laundry should be 25%.
Laundry which contains more than 50%
synthetic fibers must not be ironed in this
machine. The synthetics might melt at the
high temperatures. Laundry with less
synthetics can be ironed at a low
temperature.
Preparing the laundry
^
Sort the laundry according to how much
heat is required for ironing.
^
Check the fabric care label for the correct
ironing temperature of the laundry.

Start ironing at a low setting and gradually

If decreasing the temperature is
necessary, it is only reached, once the
"Heating" indicator lights again.
Ironing tips
– To avoid creasing stop the roller, pull the
item back slightly and smooth out. If ne-
cessary, dampen again with a wet cloth or
spray bottle.
– If possible, always use the whole length of
the roller, otherwise it will lose its elasticity.
– For small items such as handkerchiefs, al-
ternate between the right and left hand si-
des of the roller.
– Iron starched items last to avoid any
starch transfer to other items.
– Items with buttons, zippers or holes should
be ironed face down on to the roller so
that they are pressed into the cushioned
surface.
– Cover zippers, metal buttons, and metal
hooks with a cloth to protect the heater
plate.
– Buttons, zippers and trim that is not heat
resistant or very large buttons should not
be ironed. They may damage the heater
plate.
Caution!
Before using for the first time clean the
heater plate by ironing an old cloth over
the whole roller length.
