• The indicator lamp switches ‘On’ with the appliance and indicates that the
sole plate is heating up. Once the desired temperature is achieved the signal
light will go ‘OFF’. So start ironing your fabric. The indicator light will switch
ON/OFF from time to time in order to regulate the temperature of the sole
plate.
• Always check first whether ironing instructions are attached to the articles
to be ironed. (They can be found on the label)
• If ironing instructions are missing but you do know the kind of fabric, refer
the temperature table.
• Textile to which some kind of finish has been applied (gloss. wrinkle, relief
etc.) Can be ironed at some what lower temperature.
• If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibers you must always select the
lowest ironing temperature of the composition (e.g. an article consisting
of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, should be ironed at the temperature
indicated for polyester).
• Velvet and other textiles which rapidly acquire shiny spot should be ironed in
one direction only, applying light pressure.
• Sort your clothes taking into account the nature of fabric and start ironing
clothes that are more sensitive to heat (i.e. requires a cooler temperature
setting)
• Always keep the iron moving.
