If the garment has print, sequins or similar, special care is required as such
materials may melt. Consequently, the above table is not valid for such materials.
We recommend that fabrics that have a tendency of becoming shiny are ironed
on the reverse side. If ironed on the right side, do it carefully and always keep
the iron moving.
Filling with water
If you want to use the iron with steam, start by filling water direct from the tap.
Do
not
use distilled or demineralised water as such liquids may combine with the
metal parts of the iron.
Using other liquids than tap water may damage the iron and may furthermore
result in
black spots
on the garment to be ironed. Damage to garments due
to the use of other liquids than tap water is not covered by the warranty and
possible use of other liquids can be ascertained by our repair shop.
If you live in an area with very hard water (above 17 dh), you should clean the
steam chamber of the iron regularly in order to avoid lime deposits. Follow
the self-cleaning process as described in this manual. The iron is furthermore
equipped with a built-in anti-calc filter (not replaceable), which has been designed
to reduce the building up of limestone in the steam chamber and thus to prolong
the lifetime of the iron. The anti-calc filter will, however, not entirely prevent the
natural building up of limestone in the iron, and it is therefore important to follow
the self-cleaning procedure at regular intervals.
Remove the mains plug from the electrical outlet and pour water into the delivered
beaker. Set the steam selector at “0”. Keep the iron in a horizontal position and
open the filling inlet by pulling the lid backwards.
Pour the water slowly into the filling hole. The water level must not exceed the
Max indication. Close the lid to the filling inlet.
NOTE:
If you are going to steam
iron afterwards, it is important that the iron is heated before switching the steam
selector to steam ironing.
