Cleaning
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance plug is not
connected to the socket.
Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or an
unabrasive liquid detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.
Self-cleaning
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the plate, removing impurities. We recommend using it
every 10-15days. Directions:
-Fill the reservoir up to the maximum level indicated and set the steam selector (3) to "0"
-Set the thermostat knob (11) to the maximum temperature and wait for the light (6) to turn off.
-Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
-Hold the cleanout button (12) setting until all the boiling water, steam, impurities come out
[Fig. 7].
-When the soleplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth.
How yo put it away
- Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket.
- Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
- Leave the iron to cool down completely.
- Roll up the power cord with the rewinder [Fig. 8].
- Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
Advice for good ironing
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins,
embroidery, flush, etc.). If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the
thermostat to the temperature of the fibre 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
it reaches 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.
The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat
scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.
To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fibre) and do not
press down on the iron.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased. This also
happens when the spin drying revolutions are very high.
Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
