Fabric protection
D
soleplate cover
(model dependent)
The fabric-protection soleplate cover (20*) is
used for steam-ironing delicate garments at
maximum temperature without damaging them.
Use of the soleplate cover also does away with
the need for a cloth to prevent shine on dark
materials.
It is advisable to first iron a small section on the
inside of the garment to see if it is suitable.
To attach the soleplate cover to the iron, place
the tip of the iron into the end of the soleplate
cover and pull the elastic strap over the lower
rear of the iron until it fits tightly. To release the
soleplate cover, pull the elastic strap and remove
the iron.
The fabric-protection soleplate cover may be
purchased from our customer service or from our
website:

Cleaning the Boiler
To extend the life of your steam generator and to
prevent any build up of scale, it is essential that
you rinse out the filter (4) and the boiler after
several hours of use. If the water is hard,
increase the frequency.
Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the
boiler, as they could damage it.
