4. Clean the housing of the iron with a damp, soft cloth.
5. Empty the reservoir after each use.
6. You can wind the cord around the cord winder. Regularly check whether the cord isn't damaged and is
still safe to use.
7. Never iron over zippers, rivets in jeans etc, as they will damage the soleplate; iron around these types
of objects.
8. Never disassemble and/or repair the iron yourself.
DESCALING
The appliance should be descaled regularly. Damage caused by not regularly descaling the appliance is
not covered by the guarantee.
When the appliance needs descaling, use a descaling agent that is suitable for a steam iron. Special
descaling agents for steam irons are available from our service department.
Caution!
- Be careful when descaling the appliance to prevent damage to furniture or clothing. Princess cannot be
held responsible for any damage caused by descaling agents.
- Do not use vinegar or vinegar concentrate to descale the appliance.
- Do not use citric acid to descale the appliance.
IRONING TIPS
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery etc).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetic fiber), set the thermostat to the temperature of the
fiber requiring the lower temperature.
If you don't know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by testing on a hidden
corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until you have found the
ideal temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes the stains on the
fabric, making them irremovable.
To avoid leaving a shiny mark on silk, woolen or synthetic garments, iron them inside out.
To avoid leaving a shiny mark on velvet garments, iron in one direction (with the nap) and do not press
down on the iron.
