Before Use
To avoid overloads, do not plug any other high-power appliance into the same electricity line.
Suggestions Before Using The Iron: -
1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased therefore the iron may produce a little smoke
when plugged in. This should stop after a short while.
2. When using the iron for the first time, remove the plastic protector from the base (if it has one)
clean the base with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the base very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (such as against the ironing board,
buttons, zips, etc).
Fill The Water Tank
1. Remove the water tank by pressing the water tank release button
to remove the cover (
Figure 1
).
2. Fill the water tank with water.
3. Place back the water tank.
Selecting The Temperature
1. Check the ironing instructions on the garment to be ironed.
2. Fabrics that have some kind of finish (polishing, wrinkles, contrasts...) can be ironed at the lowest
temperatures.
3. 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.
4. First classify the fabrics 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 fabrics
requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Progress towards those
that require the highest temperatures.
5. Turn the temperature control until it corresponds with the appropriate signal according to the
following: See (
Figure 2)
• Position for nylon and acetate.
• Position for wool, silk or mixures.
• Position for cotton or linen.
Ironing
1. Plug the iron into an earthed electric socket.
2. Wait until the pilot light goes out, which indicates that the selected temperature has been reached.
3. Turn the steam button to the required position.
4. When the ironing is finished and during breaks in ironing, place the iron in its upright position.
5. Disconnect the iron from the mains supply. Leave the iron to cool off.
