Safeguards”?

CHOICE OF WATER

 If the water in your area is particularly hard, it 

is advisable to use distilled or demineralized 

water. Do not use chemically descaled water or 

any other liquids for refilling.

Do not use chemical additives, scented 

substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply 

with the above-mentioned regulations leads to 

the loss of guarantee.

HOW TO FILL IN WATER

•  Set the steam control knob to “0” and the 

temperature control dial to “OFF”.

•  Unplug the iron from the wall outlet, and 

wait for the iron to cool down.

the table below may help you.

•   First you should sort the laundry: Wool with 

wool, Cotton with cotton etc. Start ironing 

the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature 

and progress to the higher ones because the 

iron heats up quicker than it cools down.

•   If the fabric consist of various kinds of fibres 

(e.g. cotton with polyester) you must always 

select the lowest ironing temperature of the 

composition of those fibres.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
