Set the required ironing temperature by turning the temperature dial
to the appropriate position.
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
Type of fabric
Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acetate, acrylic,
viscose, polyamide, polyester) and silk
Wool
Cotton, linen
Please note that Z on the label
means that the article cannot be
ironed.
If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be
visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to
prevent shiny patches.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such
as those made of synthetic fibres.
Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and set both the steam
tank switch and the iron switch to 'on'. The steam tank and the
soleplate will now heat up.
The iron is hot enough when the temperature light goes out.
,
During steam ironing the temperature light goes on from time
,
to time. This indicates that the iron is heating up to the right
temperature.
If you have been ironing at a high temperature and subsequently set
,
the temperature dial to a lower setting, wait until the temperature
light goes on again before you continue ironing. This will prevent
damage to your fabrics.
tips
-
If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. For example: if an article consists of 60% polyester and
40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for
polyester ( 1) and without steam.
-
When steam ironing woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. You
can prevent this by using a dry pressing cloth or by turning the article
inside out and ironing the reverse side.
