Ironing tips
Minimising wrinkles while drying
Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading
out your laundry properly after washing and by putting
garments on hangers to make them dry naturally with fewer
wrinkles.
Best practice shirt ironing
Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cuff links and
sleeves. Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back to
prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing
the time-consuming parts.
Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work
from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and
repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a more
crisp finish.
Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more
effective and faster ironing.
Cleaning and maintenance
To properly maintain your appliance, clean the iron and the
appliance regularly.
1 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth. To remove
stubborn stains, you can use a small amount of washing-
up liquid.
2 To easily and effectively remove stains from the soleplate,
switch on the appliance and let it heat up. When the
appliance has heated up, move the iron over a moist cloth
while you press the steam trigger.
Tip: Clean the soleplate regularly to ensure smooth gliding.
IMPORTANT - DESCALING
It is very important to perform the descaling procedure as
soon as the EASY DE-CALC light starts to flash.
The EASY DE-CALC light flashes after about a month or 10
ironing sessions to indicate that the appliance needs to be
descaled. Perform the following descaling procedure before
you continue ironing.
To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool
down for at least two hours before you perform the descaling
procedure.
1 Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
